I'm a new addict but I want to get sober before this gets out of control

[Cocaine_Unicorn]

Hi I'm new to this forum. I have a minor cocaine problem (about a gram a week) that turned into addiction really fast. I had tried doing blow a few times in the past and never liked it, but I recently moved and my roommate does coke casually and I "acquired the taste" you could say.... My roommate seems to be able to keep her use low. She does maybe 3-4 lines a day; I'm already on 8-10 and I've only been using for about two and a half months. I don't want this to get out of control. I've never hung out with coke users so I don't know if the amount I am doing is excessive or not. Financially it hasn't been a problem yet, but I've gotten bloody noses and then just switched to the other nostril. When I do it I feel like I can't stop. Contemplating going to NA.... Any advice greatly appreciated.

I would recommend NA if you are serious and ready to quit. They give you the tools you'll use and the support you need. If nothing else just go and check out 1 meeting. If you feel it's not for you or you're not ready you don't have to stay. My concern would be detox. I know nothing about coke so you might wanna check Into all that if you're stop using cold turkey

dont undermine your use because your not smoking it or injecting it.....YET!....i was just like you in terms of usage....then started doing heroin, then needles, then crack...then speedballs....then almost died, so i went to rehab and lost 5 years of my life to a hellacious addiction..but NA saved my life and Im now just about 3 years clean!!!

***Clean up before you have to go thru any of the hell that awaits!
