need serious help quiting cocaine, anyone actually find a way too?

they say you replace one habit with another. maybe go get some benzos? thats what i would do.. i think if you replace the habit with another "not as serious" or "less problem causing" drug then youll have a much better chance of not relapsing. probably sounds stupid but i think its more realistic. like i know im not only addicted to opiates but im addicted to just being on drugs. so when i quit opiates a few times i kno it wouldnt have been able to happen without benzos and i mean past the withdrawals because i was addicted to being on a drug and the benzo would fullfill that.

good luck to you le junk. I've never tried coke but have always wondered and wanted to. After reading this, I think I'll stay away from it.

Have a great time with your wife tonight! Let's hope it's the first night of many great ones for you!

Wow le junk, I never thought i'd feel bad for anyone via an internet forum, but dude my heart really does go out to you. 23 years...damn, i've been using coke quite heavily the past few months, and after reading this I think i'm gonna cut down/stop my usage...

I Really hope it goes well for you, and your extremely lucky to have such a loving wife, good luck with quitting man, for yours and her sake. =)

It really, truely is a great thing to see people actually learn from someone else. Even if its somebodies downfalls that effect somebody else, its still an awesome thing that others were effected by and learned from it.

Le Junk, youll do good if you keep your head in it. Im going through the same thing right now, only its been 3 years and heroin, so I have a general idea of whats going on with you. Just remember all the things that make it worth quitting. Think of your wife. Thats the most important aspect of your life right now, but if you dont feel like she is (as in, you feel like the coke is. which would be normal right now, its an addiction) constantly remind yourself that she is number one. Having a wife or a girlfriend that loves you more than anything is one of the greatest tools anyone can have when battling an addiction, so take full advantage of that.

Keep yourself occupied all day, every day, and cravings shouldnt be that big of an issue. As they say, "boredom is recoveries worst enemy."

I wish I had more advice to give you, but Im not that good at giving advice. I know later on today Ill think of a million more things I could have told you, but someone else would probably have beat me to it by then.

Youll make it, bro. I know you have no idea who I am, but Im rootin for ya none-the-less.

le junk, hang tough. cocaine is the devil dandruff, evil shit.
im a recovering opiate addict. i put on a fentanyl patch yesterday because of pain and depression but ripped it off within 10 minutes and took my suboxone! it might feel shitty for a while but youll be stronger in the end! i think youve had as much fun as you possibly could have on cocaine, so why waste the rest of your life on it? youre older now, you should be chilling out and enjoying what you have made for yourself. the cocaine was just a chemical that had a grip on you, but give yourself some credit for making the right move and throwing it out! we want updates man!
 
i was addicted to smoking it for 11 years,living in S.fla made it just so easy to obtain.i had been trying to quit,by waiting as long as i could between sessions.3 weeks seemed to be when the cravings started coming back.one day i was in the hood ,my normal peeps wernt out,i bought some wax.after all those years being a user and i got beat,for my last time,just got fed up with the whole thing.now ive done it once in 5 years....stay strong,it is a beatable addiction..........................PEACe..SMOKE MORE BUD

In my opinion cocaine is the most addictive substance on the face of the earth. i've tried everything else many times and nothing has given me the mental cravings as intense as coke has. i would think about it ALL the time and it would literally consume my life. Behind every single thought i would be thinking about cocaine somehow. it was SICK. i haven't done it in nearly a year and i still think about it all the time but i don't consider myself addicted anymore although i'll always be a "cokehead". I have done around 80,000 dollars worth of the stuff. i have 30% of my septum left and i'm actually surprised i have that much left. when my nose was clogged i would jam small objects up there to clear a temporary path for more snow. i ran out my bank accounts and i'm still not allowed to have a bank anywhere in the united states. that stuff grabbed me by the balls.

i'll tell you what helped me... i moved.

^^^^^^^ Just wanted to recommend this one final time, i.e. first get away for a while (at least), then get rid of all one's sources.

People never pay much attention when I recommend this stuff, then seem shocked when they "relapse" within days/weeks.

IMO if all a person's got is "be strong brother" posts to guide them... bend over & kiss your arse goodbye. Coke is very addictive, and while it's easily obtainable the situation is almost hopeless (although I'm looking for answers, in the form of designing a "program" to get control back).

Look at it this way: If a person's been addicted for years, it's likely they've tried quitting before. What's different about this time? Just wanting to quit a little more badly? I hate to say this, but that path can be followed all the way through utter desperation and hopelessness, right down into the grave. Addiction involves loss of control, and if a person had it they probably wouldn't have used this long.

IMO/IME: Do something very different this time, or don't bother, it's too painful playing this game over & over & over again forever.

+1. Great advice. Insightful observations. I don't know you personally MDPV, but I would gather we both share a lot of common experiences.

You are right when you say that words of encouragement and "just wanting to quit" won't get you there.

If you have tried, and failed, (as I had many times in the past) then you must truly and decisively determine what is different about this time, as you suggest.

The insanity of addiction is that we keep doing the same things over and over, and each time we expect different results. To succeed, you must do things different.

LJ is getting a good start by asking for help and advice. Learning to take direction and follow that advice is the next step. W/r/t "getting away", I couldn't agree with you more. If LJ has a good job, and enough money to support the coke habit he has, then getting away shouldn't be a problem. A 28 day rehab program is one option, taking a month off to go camping in the Canadian woods with his wife might be another idea.

Getting rid of ones sources is a bigger problem. Despite the fact that I haven't "made that call" in nearly 15 months, my dealer's cellphone # is so etched on my brain that he would have to change it (not likely) for me to lose the ability to reach out if I wanted to. Perhaps the best option, in that respect is to initiate a "geographical" as they call it in AA. A change of scenery has a secondary benefit too; you don't start thinking about coke each time you visit a place where you used to use; in LJ's case, the home office.

A small piece of advice that I can add to what you have already written is this: learn to separate your feelings from your actions. When cravings come, and they will (3-4 weeks seemed to be the magic number for me as well), you need to be able to step back and recognize that those feeling are the "coke talking" and that they will do everything to pull you back in, convincing you that you can "do it one more time" and "make the cravings go away". Bullshit. Once you realize that those feelings are normal, and accept that you need not act on them, or beat yourself up for having them, then you are on the path to recovery.

LJ - you don't have to let cocaine run your life any longer. There is hope. There is a way out.

If I write any longer, no one will bother reading this, so, signing off for now . . .

when I was addicted to coke the main trigger for my use was drinking, so I quit drinking and the cravings for the drug slowly started fading away. now I can drink and not feind at all, but I did go almost a year without a drink fearing that it would lead me back to coke
 
You know what triggers cravings for me? This board. Stay the fuck away from here if you want to quit. Seriously...you think a recovering sex addict would do well on a swinger's board? Hell no. Get out of here for good if you really are serious about recovery.
 
Me personally, whenever I have cravings I open my wallet, and notice its empty as fuck and I go

well time to go to bed
 
Le junk I know somone whos been using there whole life who is now 64 and still does. They however have always been able to control there use. My best advice would be go do things that you use to have fun doing. Do things that make you happy. Like yesterday before I went to the hospital I test drove a porsche. It made me feel alot better. Try to get out and try somthing new. It's going to be hard but I will say a prayer! Good luck.
 
Le ...... prayers for ya today ..... lets make it to tomorrow buddy !!!!!and more!!!! I am here.....you will be fine .... tomorrow will be easier than today ........Scott
 
^ some root that makes you trip for 3 days and then you don't want drugs anymore. or at least thats the miracle drug they make it out to be.
 
Wow that's one hell of an addiction, to any substance. Curious, how much were you using on average, daily or weekly?

Not sure where you're from, but around here they can put you on methadone for cocaine addiction, not just other opiates. It may not be the best advice, but it's an easy way out long as you enjoy PKs.

The more wholistic way is to fill the happiness void with a hobby of some sort.

Replace the high or replace the fun I guess... best of luck to you.

oh and le_junk i remember asking you if you managed to quit blow in a x thread a while back. i guess it really was 3 or so months ago.

i wish you the best of luck.

i'm sure your wife is proud of you man. that takes a lot of balls.
 
le junk head to erowid and read through all the ibogaine vault then i recomend you download the documentry on it from a torrent site, isohunt.com has it
ibogaine - rite of passage

You do hullucinate for 3 days but once it stops withdrawel symptoms vanish and if you still have the will power to quit its hell of a lot easier
