So iam 18 hours into my 5th day of been completely free of cocaine and alcohol

Biggest test was today as I was asked by 3 friends to go out and have a few a few meaning 20 btls and 2 or 3 grams of cocaine it took all my strength to say no which dey found surprising as its Thursday and that wudnt be me of a Thursday I call it thirsty Thursday for a reason

Iam now sitting here with my partner and son with a Indian on the way watching toy story 4 I think toy story 4 is way better then going out doing that shit :grin: just really happy with myself that I managed to say no :slightly_smiling_face:

Proud of you, yes sticking with the family and watching your son grow up is what matters most. Work on your sobriety and do this for you and, well honestly I’d probably let those friends know that you’re sticking to this sobriety. There is a good sane that I have very true, you wanna see who your friends are, get sober. You’ll make new friends again, but those old friends will be very triggering, even when you’re further in sobriety. It seems sad, and you’ll mourn them, but you’ll prob see they weren’t really friends just coke and drinking buddies. Good job and keep pushing

Well done bud. Each little victory like this makes us stronger.
Makes us realise we can be ourselves and do what we want.
Not what others think we should be doing.

Congrats Kevin,
That’s a huge step in the right direction. I think you’ll find that you’re much happier, living life in a healthy body. Those are powerful drugs and part of why they’re so dangerous is the fact that they’re everywhere.
I think it’s critical that you tell your friends that you no longer want to drink and use. They need to know that those offers are not welcome anymore.
Do everything you can do to keep drugs and alcohol out of your face. I promise you, it’ll be worth it.

Congrats ! That’s a hard test to pass.
Ive been completely cocaine free for a week and I did a month before that. It took me everything I had and didn’t handle it as well. This time around I give myself more time before meeting friends who use cocaine. We live and we learn. I’m more prepared for the next time ! But I admire your strength. Gives me hope to be able to face social events too :heart::raised_hands:t3: you rock.
