Cocaine Addiction & Recovery Support Group
Cocaine addiction is the excessive intake of cocaine, and can result in physiological damage, lethargy, depression, or a potentially fatal overdose. Though the immediate craving to do more cocaine is strong and very common, this feeling usually subsides in most users within an hour. This craving can, as it has in many users, develop rather quickly into an intense...

I dealt with the same thing with my parents. They actually told me to just stop like it was that easy. Try sitting your father down and explaining to him that you understand hes upset but right now you need him to be there as support for you. Yelling at you wont help. Maybe he'll rethink what he says from now on. I hope this helped. :)

We can't expect anything from anybody. Even when we get like a year clean "regular" people are like, "so! You should've been doing that all along." What other people do to us hurts, but it's nothing compared to the pain we cause to ourselves through our addiction. Recognize that you're really mad at your addiction and not your father, take some action to stay sober, and you'll be on your way to a much better place. We judge ourselves much more harshly than anyone else. And we judge ourselves over, over and over again for the same mistake. We need to learn how to stop that kind of thinking. It's self destructive. Face and be rid of by working the steps and doing the next right thing.

One step at a time. Step 1 tells us that we are powerless over our addiction. That includes how others react to it. We are only responsible for us today. Being honest and admitting your addiction to your family took alot of strength.

try to think about what we put people through with our addiction.It may be this pain may be exactly what you need to stop killing yourself.I'm not insensitive to your pain,but I had to have a whole hell of a lot of it(pain)before I was ready to quit.

I am sorry to hear that your father responded like. But to your father as to most you telling him that you have a problem or addiction to drugs was like telling him that he failed as a parent. I know when I finally talked to my parents about my addiction they asked what they had done wrong and what could they have done differnt and even acted like it was their fault. Even though I had made those choice to use. And that was after the " I taught you better than that " now my parents and I have discuss my addiction openly and they understand more.It did help when a family friend explained to them that while starting his recovery in AA he had to go to many meetings and he had to work a program and just pretty much the basics. At first they didn't think that I needed the meetings and thought I should just not use. Give your father some time and space. And don't let his atitude discourage or complicate your recovery. Remember you didn't get high for him so you can't get clean for him either. You have to be selfish and think about yourself. You are the one killing your self every time you get high My thoughts are with you and every addict.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
