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?

Cleaning - whatever the subject range your granite surfaces are a constant!

Flat, you're struggling tonight ain't you? Take it easy. Hour by hour. Remember frantic me on Saturday? You can do tonight. Deep breaths, baths, lager, fags, sewing.

I am struggling yes, though apple tree yard is deliciously erotic, so proving to be a good distraction

You perv Flat!

I am struggling tonight. Found myself day dreaming of the holy trinity (whisky, fags, turkey) earlier. I put my lager snorkel on though and that helped.

Well that's a whole other conversation...the link between sex and coke

No turkey and no granite! Keep going 💪

I'm not sure what's come over me, I've only had one cig today as well. I always feel like a cheeky one after dinner though so I might sneak outside.

Sending out jumbo armbands

Cleaning, you're like our house captain or perfect tonight!!

Flat, sex and coke - oh my days! That's all I can say!! The PTA would excommunicate me if they knew about THAT!

Thanks ladies for the support tonight. Fuck this is Soooo hard. If I had the means tonight I would definitely be all over it! Going to keep watching iplayer then get to sleep

I'm going to bed flat. You're doing really well - over a week. Keep on it. You'll feel great tomorrow morning, I promise..

Oh how awkward are we all talking about sex? Makes a change from cocaine, surfing and cuts of turkey I suppose.

flat hope you're ok. Try not to listen to your addiction. I'm doing the same, even though it's shouting at me! I've had to come upstairs as I can't bear to look dh in the eye (the good eye) as if he is up for it, we'll do it. And regret it.
It's fucking hard.

Lost, we might be a bunch of degenerate coke heads but more importantly we are British!

I know what I'll be dreaming of tonight and it won't be pervy stuff! Night all!

Sweet clean dreams all! Another night under the belt

Yep another swerve here, even if I did have to hide upstairs. For some reason dh really annoying me. Poor man hasn't even done anything wrong .
Tomorrow is another day.

DH working late thankfully, I am off to bed now

Morning all!! Happy sober Tuesday

Morning everybody. Well done flat for getting through last night. We had some very choppy waters trying to knock us off our surfboards but we all clung on.
Hoping for calmer seas this week...

Thanks lost, so grateful for everyone's support! Enjoy your days lovely ones

Hi, just wanted to mark place. Not in recovery myself but DP is going to try, after using almost every night for a while and admitting to addiction we are going to try and work through it together. Already been given some fantastic advice on another thread but just wanted to check in here to read what others are going through to try and get a better understanding.
First night with nothing last night

Hi Yell welcome to our thread. It sounds as though your DP is in the grips of quite a serious cocaine addiction so you have all my sympathy. It must be hell for you.

I got to a point years ago when I was using almost every day and bingeing on it at weekends. I was single at the time and had very few commitments but cocaine soon had a devastating effect on my life at that time. It took me a long time to admit to myself that I was a drug addict, I blamed everything and everyone but myself for my falling apart life!

I did pull myself out of my cocaine addiction but as you can see from our thread, old habits have started to creep back. Several years ago I made the decision that I could use cocaine socially but that quickly escalated to relying on it most weekends. That is the place I find myself in now. On the face of it I have a lovely family and a nice life but I'm well aware of the dangerous position I'm in.

I'm not going to dress it up, your dh is going to find conquering his addiction tough. Most importantly, he needs to want to change with every fibre of his body.
You sound wonderfully supportive but I think it would really help if your husband has outside support?
I know I couldn't have got out of my massive coke addiction without a support network. It's an enormous burden for you to shoulder alone.

We're here if you need to offload on us and I hope you haven't glanced at our thread and assumed we're all bonkers.

Hello yell, well done to your DP on a clean night. You sound very supportive.

Yell glad to see you on here, wishing you and your husband all the luck in the world in your fight against this horrible drug

How is everyone feeling tonight? I have savoured my sobriety today, knowing how close I came last night. Despite oversleeping, I waved the kids off to school and nursery all happy and smiley (no way would that have happened if I was on a comedown) and got loads done admin and housework wise. Getting the odd thought as darkness falls, but am finding replacing the word coke with the word turkey dramatically reduces its seductiveness^^ Hope you have all had good days!

I seem to have caught a cold which has killed my desire for turkey! Hardest thing I'm on tonight is lemsip!

Thanks for the welcome, haven't read posts yet but will have a read through when DC are in bed.
I am trying my hardest to be supportive although it's not always easy but I know the paranoia and snappiness are just a side effect, try to remain calm as much as possible but sometimes even I lose my shit so I'm just as bonkers as everyone else
Well done to everyone and it's nice to see humans encouraging other humans
