First day of quitting cocaine

Been using cocaine for years. Finally at the point where if I don’t stop now I’m going to lose everything. My mental health is ruined. I’m exhausted. I’m broke. I’m at rock bottom. Any advice or kind words would be so appreciated. Thank you

Welcome to the community!

Have you tried NA meetings or recovery groups? I have heard that they work well for people and provide in real life support. Especially if you can find a sponsor.

For me this community has been very helpful and supportive. I am super active here and read through the threads to gain advice and support. Here you are not alone - we are all addicts here and struggling with obtaining an addiction free lifestyle.

It is important to change up your routines and possible social circles so that you do cut off associations with your daily activities and your addiction. Keeping yourself busy so that you can try to ignore the urges as they arise has been helpful for me.

Hope to see you around – great job on day 1 :hugs:

This almost my 2nd day perc free and no weed. I know how you feel. My dad got me a withdrawal medication that helped with the shakes and insomnia. I literally said I hit rock bottom. but it feels good to have a clear mind for the first time in 2 years. I know temptation is hard but if you got kids yo love for them should be harder easier said that done tho! You got this :heart:

I’m 2 weeks sober I was feeling the same but I’m here 2 weeks just keep going. Push through and I’m always a message away. It’s so hard I understand. Try Go to places or a little online shopping to treat yourself and cheer yourself up that is what I do. But the people on here are lovely so always reach out
