Yes, I have already started looking up recipes, cutting down on fatty foods getting fish vegetables, thanks
What you wanna go for first is cutting down the sugar / fast-release carbs and highly processed foods. The instant gratification of these shit 'foods' are often , oddly enough, very appealing to those of us with longterm stimulant issues (go figure!)
Plenty of people (myself included) find cutting down/giving up refined sugar to be just as difficult as hard drugs (NB - sugar most definitely
is a drug - no nutritional value / makes you ill / very difficult to stop / mood altering substance etc etc
Stimulant addiction is insidious af, especially cocaine/meth imo. Many of us have have given up many times! Good luck with it and when you start to feel the urge again just remember how bad it makes you feel. Crack's a shocking drug, and when you get to your age mate and with your tendency for high doses it's a survival lottery.
Even if you cook it or buy it, there's still an oppotunity not to use at any given pointb right up until the first inhale (after that point we both know it's gonna continue until stash is gone). Like most people i've relapsed a few times. However on a couple of occasions I've prepared everything and at the last minute flushed those rocks down the toilet. And then, after the half-minute of feeling terrible due to the "loss", you feel fucking great because there's gonna be no poison in your system, no comedown, no paranoia, no dehydration, no muscle cramps, and also because you managed to do an extremely difficult thing (flush the drugs)
In my first year of (almost) abstinence every time I wanted it I stuck the amount of £££ I was gonna spend in a box and every few months there was enough in there to get myself some kinda treat ( a wekend away, tickets for this and that, etc). That seemed to help some. I was tempted to get a half ounce of coke with it once though but thankfully managed not to!
Best thing to do with the saved £££ though is to start investing in your own wellbeing in whatever way you can (healthy food, healthy meal out, take a course in something that's gonna benefit you etc) - cos investing in your own wellbeing is the
exact opposite of buying that shite eh, as we know only too well when we're not in denial. Crack is a waste of time, life, health. money - a truly terrible drug. You knows it brother. Shit drug 100%
to you!
