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.

My sister has been acting really weird this past month and never has any money anymore. I asked her if she was on drugs and she finally told me about 5 hours ago that she started smoking crack after our dad died in Sept. She said this past week has been her worst and she binged on her whole paycheck, about 600.00 and told me her car got broke into. Shes single with a 4 yr old son and cried uncontrollably. She asked me to help her and I have not been to sleep trying to figure out what to do. F%CK Im upset. We have so much going on and I work full time. My nephew is so confused and Im practically raising him anyway. She said she needs to detox for about a week or two then she will try to get help for depression. How do I find a place when she has no insurance?? Ive called several 24 hour hotlines and founf one free place but they dont take crack addicts anymore, just heroin addicts the lady said. Any asvice?? If so I would be so thankful for a response. Sandy

I don't know where you live, but my first hand experience is that the local social services department has what is called a Rule 25 assessment, which is a tool used to assess whether or not somebody needs treatment. This assessment is also used to allocate funds for people to get help that can't afford it.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
