Recovery and being clean for 2 months

Hello, my name is Morgan I am in recovery from cocaine. I started the first day end of March, I have been through a lot with in a space of a year. I sadly lost my grandad in February last year, he was the one who had brought me up as a child I lived with him for 18 years which was the hardest thing I ever had to endure was the loss of my grandfather. I had become homeless in May the same year due to the family putting the house up for sale (there’s more to it than that) I used to have coke on nights out and nothing else - when my grandad passed away that’s when my addiction started and it got out of control, I lost my job, I wasn’t eating i basically lost myself to stop the pain and heartbreak from it! I didn’t want to feel any emotions or feelings I just wanted to numb the pain that I felt.

Skip to August to September I met a guy in the temporary accommodation I was in until I found a home - it was going well! We had broken up, he came back to the hotel where we met, he started to get abused and domestic which I had been in for 4-5 months, I didn’t know this but he was spiking my food and drinks while I wasn’t looking. I became clean a few months, well I know that I had not personally had any drugs. I was going to work pretty much of my face and had no idea why. It turns out it was all kind of drugs and whilst I was asleep he was putting coke in my mouth or up my nose no idea. (Sensitive to her this now) but I woke up to him sexually abusing me which I thought was a dream until I woke up and he was still r*ping me, he was doing for it months whilst I was in the drug high state. I then started to get back into my peak as I was early on the year and I had taken it more than before the first time.

I’m in a better health state now than I was before, im sorry for the long message. Im more than happy to be here to help or support anyone. I’ll answer any questions that you may have,

I’m 28, and I’m from Hull the UK😘x

Thank you x
