Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

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?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 18:43

Feeling very Envy. I think I'll have to come to the cottage with you flat

You are very welcome lost. Try to ride it out. Remember what you said to me; it's jus the addiction talking.

Sorry!! I forced myself to have a nap to clear my head. Feel better now just really groggy. Sorry for the disappearing act Wine

serialtester · 03/02/2017 19:18

I'm harpooning dealers. I don't know if it's because I'm still ill but tonight I have no urge. I just want to sleep. Even wine and fags are a struggle! 4 weeks btw!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 19:23

I thought you were toppling off the surf board, not toppling into bed, Cleaning !

Thanks guys. serial you poor thing, that sounds like flu or something.

I'd drive you mad in the cottage, flat Grin but thank you for being nice.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 03/02/2017 19:29

Fuck now I'm wiiide awake after my nap. Maybe I'm just delaying the inevitable. It's been on my mind since lunchtime Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 19:58

Will Wine help? Dh came home with a case of beers so we're cracking on with those. Classy!
Ride the riptide with me, Cleaning ..I maybe a bit sea sick later the rate we're going Grin

flatwhite45 · 03/02/2017 20:48

serialtester · 03/02/2017 20:55

serialtester · 03/02/2017 20:56

I really really want a line.

serialtester · 03/02/2017 21:01

I'm telling myself that being ill and snorting a gram would result in bad shit tomorrow. I'm right aren't i?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 21:03

Put the harpoon down, serial Grin You have a slight stumbling block; your sealed nostrils Grin
Me too though, trying to blog it out with lager.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 21:05

Blot it out.
Yes will be bad shit tomorrow, Think of the headache man.

serialtester · 03/02/2017 22:02

Think I'm over the worst! God bless snot and wine. Craving, strong it was!

serialtester · 03/02/2017 22:06

Lying I was. Am literally crawling the walls. Hate this I do

serialtester · 03/02/2017 22:11

Just want a Friday night where I'm not fighting it. I'm actually having a nice evening but I want it to be nicer.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 22:28

Hear you serial
Silver surfer surfs on. Try saying that when you're pissed Confused

costababe · 03/02/2017 22:37

Ok, so I typed out a long introduction to me, and it's gone!

Anyhow wanted to say, I love the support, understanding and the humor on this thread! You guys rock!

you are all doing really well, both with your honesty and efforts.

I am one of a group of four, 3 of us love the coke, the other prefers E's though will dabble.
We were all full on last year from May to November, we have managed to pull it back, last massive blowout all round was the first week of Jan, so I know we are doing well.
My problem is I'm always waiting for someone to crack on a normal evening, a few wines and I'm almost willing someone to say.......!
I suppose I'm lucky we are all self employed and one or other of us will always have a reason to stay straight for the next day, and to be honest not readily available, so it's more like a planned event for us.

Keep hanging onto that surfboard, good luck all of you.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 03/02/2017 22:56

costa thank you!
You're welcome here. I have a surfboard here with your name on. Smile

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 03/02/2017 23:04

So I kind of fell overboard but only in a restrained way... only did a little bit Blush

still counts I know

flatwhite45 · 03/02/2017 23:42

Cleaning, god how I wish I could be restrained about my Coke consumption, hope you manage to keep it low key, well done!

Costa welcome n board...that's so lovely of you to give us your support! Glad you have managed to reign it in this year, I think the massive positive is that you don't have easy access to it and are still doing it in a social group. Try not to get into my position where you are doing it at home and have a dealer virtually on speed dial. As you may have read, it's a bloody hard place to move away from.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 04/02/2017 00:14

Hey flat. Yes, very low key. A moment of weakness after too much vino. I'm aware of how much my tolerance has dropped (which is positive I guess) and I don't want to fall back into the old cycle that I was in by doing a lot and getting my body and mind back into that habit.

A slip up is a slip up I know but it could have been far worse.

Welcome costa. Hope you made it through the evening ok lost and serial. Wine

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 04/02/2017 00:16

PS flat what did you re: dealer and phone/number etc or have you not spoken to him yet?
