Hi. Just joined. Having just made myself and my family broke after spending all my wage on alcohol cocaine, I have decided to seek help. Don’t want to be a junkie loser anymore

Wishing you the best of luck on achieving sobriety! It’s not easy but it’s worth it, try to write down all the negative parts about your habits like coming down and morning after so when a craving hits you can remember why you’re not using.

Hi @Samfreeman88, welcome! Well done on deciding enough is enough, that first step is a hard one … great job. As @Trees said, writing it all down is a great reference point in times of cravings. Be sure to write down the feelings you have right now about spending all of your money. I wrote down how bad things had got for me and how much I was drinking and sneaking. I’ve only had to read it once in 626 days and it stopped my cravings dead! I wish you all the best my friend. I’m so glad you found this place. Together we can do this, one step at a time

Thank you. Don’t know if it’s a good idea, but giving how I know now how much this is ruining people’s lives, I have been thinking about maybe trying to inform the authorities of everything I know to try and help clear the streets of the crap. But at the end of the day, if the people at the top didn’t want cocaine coming into the country then they would make sure it didn’t. It can’t be that hard to stop it surely?
It’s not that easy. Start in your own backyard. You’ll be much happier once you see how great life really can be.
