Any time , Lee. Remember, you are never alone when you have your recovery pals available to you. We already love you.
Im a cocaine abuser here. Theres many things i could tell you but, at least to me, the most important thing to kick the habit was wanting to stop. To feel that my life sober is better than my life high and hung over. I always said i wanted to quit but never really wanted to quit. I liked the life style and the craziness. I got tired of it, think my life is better now. Its just not fun anymore. Of course i still think about it but maybe once every 2 months. Do it for yourself, not for family, friends, people etc.

Hi Lee, how are you doing today? 
Daniel, you reminded me of something I heard early in recovery, this guy was telling his story:" Oh yeah, (pointing to liquor shelf) let me have some more of that, it almost killed me last night". You could substitute any of our substances. But eventually we donāt want to die, and realize we are Not lower than whale shit! So many lies our disease wants us to believe.xxoohuzzy
Hi thanks for the tex not to good not sleepimg an wake up piss wet frw plus have panick attacks loads x
Stick with it, it has to come out of your system. Drink plenty of water and try and rest when possible. The good news is that you never have to feel this way again. Youāre doing great. Stick with us, weāre here if you need us
Lee, iam 6 months clean my brother.
I had to leave my wife for 3 months just to change my life around.
No friends just family (mom n dad) and AA
The friends you have most likely are just like you because we always want to be around people that are doing the same things. It makes us believe that what we are doing is okay. They need to change. True friendship will show up when the people you are with would do anything to make sure you donāt drink and do drugs, or at least it was for me. If this is ture then for you to stay on the track of life you want, you need to find like minded people like us and stay with us so what we do becomes youā¦ thatās why we also want to help you so that we never forget and that helping you is also helping ourselves.
My wife had cancer also 10 cm tumor and it was out of my control so I used drugs to deal with it. I just didnāt know any better. But now Iām learning there is a better way. Be honest to myself. The way a feel and owning my own actions
Finding people that already have been through this and taking there help will help you alot. Take there numbers and call them. We are all here to help.
When I had feeling of drinking or drugs I would call my list of people 1st and tell them the truth of what I was feeling. Telling the truth to other means your telling the truth to yourself. We all have a lifelong problem, everyday we work on staying clean forever but we do this 24 hours at a time.

Hiya Lee! Listen, are you going to meetings? There are tons of people who would like to help you. If they have in -person meetings where you are, it really makes a difference. After awhile it feels like a tranquilizer when you walk in the room!!! Just sayin what worked for me. My sponsor used to tell me " nobody ever died from lack of sleep". Iām thinking what a bitch lol. But our perspective is a little off, yāknow. We are willing to crawl over broken glass for that next high but bitch up a storm when we canāt sleep 
wish we could talk sometime print doesnāt show warmth and humor.
Plus, you look great! Already look better, and bet you have more money 
lee ā¦ i feel like i know you already! well done for taking this step. people in this community really do helpā¦ i know how it is a line wont hurt then its a bag later. mine always starts with drink but if gear is about i want it as soon as i know i have a drink! start with yourself first as much as you need your wife and kids. i have a partner and kids too and the best thing you can do is get sober for a week at least before you involve them. let them know you are doing it properly this time and stay at your mumās till you are ready to be home with your family. Iām proud of you, remember you are loved, you are wanted, and the feelings you feel other people feel them too. keep strong xx
Lee, honey, please hang in there. Iām so sorry you are having this physical stuff going on. But try to remember, keeping on with coke will be a much faster decline. Whatās ahead for us if we use is jails, instructions, and death. We are sick, not evil and shitty! Took you awhile to get to this point, it will take a while to āreverse the chargedā. Hugs to you 
Am doin a lot better thank u bk in the gym an lovein life
