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?

Hello almost! A few months ago I could have written your post. And here I am at nearly 5 weeks!

Almost welcome on board!

Firstly: you aren't weak, it's just that the psychological addiction to cocaine is immense. Secondly: despite its strength, cocaine CAN be beaten, and our chances of doing so increase massively when we do it TOGETHER.

Since joining this band of merry crazy women, I feel way less ashamed of myself and hence much more hopeful that I can and will beat this. It takes practice though as lost says, so don't be too hard on yourself, one step at a time..

Spun how are you today?

Cleaning and serial.....well done both of, getting ill is clearly the way to do it

Not sure if I should be flattered or insulted to be called a merry crazy woman

Realised we have been chatting supporting each other for so long we've nearly filled the whole thread! If anyone is good at doing those blue clicking links (not me) to a new thread then you're welcome to start one when we run out of pages.

flat thought of a new thread title on page 22 unless any of us can think of another amazing witty but welcoming title.

Ooh I had no idea that threads can run out. My mumsnet app doesn't show up as pages. Is anyone else able to sort this?? We don't want to lose our lovely support group

Don't panic flat I'm sure Yoda/serial/archbishop of the surfing people will sort it out Threads stop at 1000 pages and we're on page 931. Most of it probably filled up by me wittering on.

Ha ha! I am quite fond of your wittering lost!

I was thinking in bed last night about the lack of useful self help books on cocaine addiction and decided we should write one, Kicking Cocaine a beginner's guide for your average Joe. ( RRP £7.99)

Actually we're nearly at 1000 posts, not pages. I thought that sounded a lot! . The thread stops after 1000 posts is what my muddled brain was trying to say.
Hopefully someone will understand what I've said

What's the new title gonna be? I'll have a go. It's clearly an ecumenical matter.

Well that's my new word of the day, just Googled it. Probably won't use it though

Lord knows what the title will be. I was hoping suggestions would come flooding in. I should have offered a prize.

Professor White and the line dancing surfers.

Excellent word play, God bless you bishop.

Did it work?!

Abandon thread - there's a new surfboard in town!

You star serial Here's your prize and a cuddly toy

I tested it out and put an intro in case any new people didn't know what the hell it was all about

I've been watching this thread with fascination - you ladies are so funny! I've been a bit, pah, this isn't me, but I've recognised myself a bit. I calmed things down a lot after I felt things were getting out of control last year. Only big occasions, only with mates, no numbers, etc. But now I'm sat here, everyone asleep upstairs and I am high on something I was suppose to keep for a couple weeks from now. I am having fun now, writing, confessing, joining you, but I know tomorrow will be hell... the shit you are all working so hard to get away from. I'm sorry. It feels like poor form to join when on it, but i needed the courage, I guess? The thing is, sometimes I feel so illuminated and free, like I suddenly realised exactly what I need ot do to solve that screwed up, intractable situation... and then I wake up, and the horror of doing any such thing and the oppressive anxiety are just too too much. But I wonder now, if the insights are true, or just some bollocks?

Jerry, join us on the other thread.

Sorry, which one??
