Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

[rainbowdash17]

I'm about to go cold turkey from cocaine.
It's time to! Definitely
My weak points are when I'm tempted to buy some (usually evenings)

Can I message on here when I'm tempted for a pep talk on why I shouldn't & reassurance that it's ok?
I think it would really help me

Do you reckon we can do this?

I'm wearing my arm bands in the manner of glo sticks

I'm also wearing body con hotpants

Got really sorry our chat hasn't helped so far, we have been a little hysterical tonight! For some I think the virtual coke consumption can alleviate the cravings rather than increase them......cause you inevitably think it through to the end and realise it always ends badly. You kind of get it out of your system without actually doing it. However we won't be offended if you need to slope off for a bit. We all need to do whatever we can to defend our sobriety

Serial.....body con hot pants!!! Lordy... what would Russel think?

I'm currently scrubbing him down in cleans bath. He's got the luminous rubber ring on and we're going through the 12 steps together. Lost is outside the bathroom sobbing. Sorry lost!

Got, what really really helps me is playing the film to the end. I get a craving and then think through how the lines and the comedown will make me feel. I had a big binge in November that scared me, since then the last time I slipped up was 2 lines 3 weeks ago. It's a struggle everyday tbh, but before I joined this thread I thought I was alone with this terrible habit. Taking the piss minimises the meaning of the cravings.

November was a weekend long Friday to Sunday big binge with a week long comedown. Thought I'd fucked my nose forever too. And embarrassingly I had a line on the Monday morning to get me to work. Fun times.

Having a weird vision of you serial in body con hot pants, luminous arm bands, fag hanging out your mouth soaping down Russell. I'm sure Russell is rolling with it, kinky bastard.

And yes, everyday is a struggle. It's bloody hard work sometimes keeping on the straight narrow path. Sometimes it helps to laugh about it.

Had my bath (without Brand) and that's finished me off, I'm knackered. Just put new sheets on so that's a tiny thrill.

Me and Russell are up to step 2 on the 12 step program. He's got a groin strain, the bath is cold and I'm doing a fag shop run.

Clean sheets are great by the way!

Serial I confess I took a line once before going to work one Monday in the summer!! I was utterly horrified with myself!

Send Russell my way once you finished with him

I will, but I think I've broken him flat!!

Heee heee! You have done amazingly by the way serial. With the coke that is, not Russell....Russell much prefers me

Me and Russy are now married. Luminous arm bands instead of wedding rings! Three weeks and one day. And I'm out of the dangerous waters! Night you lot - I love you all.

Saturday nights are my achillies heal, like a way to unwind after the busy week before. Sometimes a Friday depending if I have the Friday feeling. I dont take it two nights in a row generally. Only time I have was Xmas and I was so disgusted with myself and Ibiza last year when we went for a long weekend but it was amazing and don't regret it 😱I think there's a lot more people take it than we'd imagine these days.

Cleaning, so sorry your family are being so insensitive. I know many only children who are very loved and very happy and don't go without not having a sibling. They are utter dicks to come out with that crap. People don't think do they. Sorry about your miscarriage, I hope you are both okay tonight. I had a molar pregnancy about five years ago, I also didn't plan the pregnancy but when I found out it wasn't sustainable it was still really upsetting.

Serial you are doing so well to be fighting your urges so well. Wish I could say the same.

Morning all? Hope everyone is ok, however your nights turned out

Happy Sunday everyone!

Everything ok here. Husband in a bad mood this morning, he thinks he has something in his eye from pulling tiles off a wall yesterday! Has been complaining most of the night so off to the hospital this morning to get it checked out.
At least we're both clear headed this morning!

How is everyone getting on? Cleaning Are you feeling any better today?

This is really random and feel free to tell me to sod off as I have literally zero idea what you are going through. I started reading this because it was on active and I'm in bed with a cold bored. At first I had major judgey pants on. I think I've had a bit of a sheltered life so I literally couldn't believe what I was reading but the further on I got the more I began to admire you. I love the lack of judgement with each other. It's really inspired me ( like genuinely made me think so much), you are so funny and so committed to helping each other. I wasn't going to comment on this because I'm basically a fish out of water (no need for a surfboard here!!) but I was really sad to read about cleanings night. I just wanted to give a different perspective. I was an only child until 12 and while I love my brothers and sisters I was happier as an only child. My husband is one of 4 and had a happy childhood but feels very strongly he wants DS to be an only child. I would love a second but what stops me is the downsides for DS. If I was doing it for me I'd have another. I'm just trying to say (in a waffley, roundabout way) I was unusual in that I lived both and I preferred being an only child. My brother and sister who are close in age had a horrible relationship. My brother was very jealous and has been quite cruel to my sister all of her life. Anyway wishing you all so much success and sending supportive thoughts (and swimming equipment)

Thanks so much for your kind words, fairydust, you're right, drug addiction is a massive taboo and I think we're all ashamed of it but really we're just normal people trying to get things right.

Really wise words regarding only children. It is in no way, shape or form failing your child to not have another.

Thank you for your supportive post.

Hi all... messed up yet again. Not going to dwell on it though. Going NC with my brother.

Thank you fueled

Thanks fairy dust! Hope your cold is better.

Cleaning, grab yourself a luminous rubber ring and get back on the surfboard!

Yep I'll be donning my marigolds as I get back on the surfboard.

Flat maybe you're right about envy. My life is far from perfect but dh and I do have a very good relationship on the whole. My brother is bound to end up bitter and alone at the rate he's going and I don't want him around me. He has one child who he hardly sees so I don't know what the fuck he's on about anyway.
