None of my friends or family know about my crack addiction so I don’t have any support. I have to stop. I’m out of money and loan options. Haven’t paid rent. Sleep pattern completely off. My mental status is horrible. My eating habits are irregular. I need help.

Tough spot to be in.
However, you do have support if you choose to let family and friends in on your struggle.
You don’t need to do this alone. Almost none of us could.
Build as big a support network as you can.
This may mean making yourself vulnerable.
Go well.

I was junky long time à go
Now I’m here for little addiction
My bicycle 
save my life back there
Focus on little things you love
find a place where you can rest
and learn to forget your mistakes
there are plenty of beautiful things on earth to experience other than drugs
Take care

Welcome! I feel ur pain and hopelessness. I too was once there. My last DOC for the past 7 years was crack cocaine. I currently am paying off alot of debt from banks and loans etc and have had to pull myself out financially and get back on track with bills and getting things out of the pawnshop. It IS possible!!! It may not seem like that right now but the only way things will change is to stop using drugs. Nothing gets better if we use. The first week was hard but it has gotten easier overtime. I am currently at 125 days clean and sober. I did the need support tho and still do need it. There are online mtgs and in person also. Get rid of those numbers and anything in ur home that can make it easier to use. It truly is important to change our environments so that it is difficult to pick up. And definitely come on here 1st before u pick up so that we can all helpA
