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 can handle the meat sweats

Anyone want to buy a gram of turkey korma? It's authentic shit.

Oooh that's given my horrific comedowns an even darker twist...even more motivation to stay of the turkey coke

If you fry it up the taste is INTENSE.

Ha ha you do make me laugh.

I've just been trying to work out how long it's been since I touched any. Just over a week, it feels WAY longer than that. Cravings on a Monday night are really not on. Feeling really restless. I'm sewing up some school socks.

Sewing?! That's nearly as big a shock as me revealing that I was once a dance mom! I am also restless. Had some really good news today which is making me giddy and also trick myself into celebrating. I'm chewing the luminous rubber ring!

Oh god lost, I wasn't going to say anything (too ) but me too!!

Don't fancy sewing or chewing a rubber ring, ate a whole family size packet of maltesers already. A glass of wine? Seriously thinking about taking up smoking

Congrats on your good news serial! Did Russell finally admit he is head over heals in lust with you?

Hi everyone. I went cold turkey on 23rd December 2016, the day I found out I was pregnant. I won't lie, there have been many times I have badly wanted to say fuck it, but not only have I got a baby's health to think about, I really need to save the money now. But literally every Saturday it gets to around 5/6pm and I start craving it. I'm really hoping it gets easier.

Spun huge congrats on your pregnancy! There could be no better motivation to stay clean. How much were you doing before 23rd December? At home or just when out?

Congratulations on your good news, Serial I have that, I feel elated about something and my brain thinks "I know a way to enhance this great feeling"
In fact every trigger someone has mentioned on here I've nodded and thought Me too. I feel like I'm surrounded by massive bastard triggers.

Yes sewing is not normal for me, just keeping busy, I've already eaten a bowl of the kids' honey breakfast boulders.
Flat a might take the edge off. ?

Not as much as some, only a couple of wraps a week, and at home with my ex partner usually. It sounds so pathetic when you write it down doesn't it? Like why would anyone want to sit at home snorting coke?? What's the point?? But I think most of us are in the same boat. I've started eating instead which is not good either

Welcome to our thread Spun. It will get easier (I say after moaning my head off!) You can always offload here.

Spun, I think all us regulars on here do it at home, for some it's a nice bottle of merlot and for others it's a gram of cocaine! Unfortunately coke is way more expensive, addictive and in my experience psychologically devastating than alcohol.

You have done 5 weeks without, so well done!! And I mean this in the nicest possible way, let's hope your morning sickness kicks in soon and you really won't fancy it AT ALL.

I have put on almost a stone since trying to cut down/give up! I figure I will lose it once this addiction is over with

Let's ride this out. I'm thinking Distraction, Surfing the urges when they feel overwhelming and Playing The Film to the End and of course a bath.

Flat is right, you have done amazingly well, Spun Concentrate on looking after yourself and don't worry about eating! That's fine.

Just seen apple tree yard is on iplayer. It's meant to be very intense! Let's see if does it. FFS I actually went to my wallet half an hour ago to see if I had enough cash to get an order in. Thankfully I didn't.

Great advice lost as usual! I am on that surfboard

Watching Something Intense on iPlayer can be added to our technique list..

Will plough through the rest of my chores and give it a go. I feel a bit better for just blurting it out about my craving on here!
Serial play it to the end, Tuesday downer isn't nice.

Spun - hello! Am riding out the urge with.... wait for it..... Lager, fags and a bath!!

I'm trying and failing to think of something that isn't a trigger!

One evening offline and the subject range on here has been huge!

I'm perched on the surfboard and nothing can wobble me. I'm flinging armbands, cigs and cans of lager left right and centre ladies!!

cleaning you said the word off line. Throw me a thousand rubber rings,I think I am drowning
