New to crack

[PurpleFrames]

I'm struggling with a new addiction atm.

Does anyone have experience of crack that feels ok to share?

Purple, I was a cocaine addict three years ago and it brought me to my knees very quickly...not exactly the same but I do understand the feeling of being compelled to use despite the insanity of it...would you like to share more about your situation? I know it can feel scary but for me sharing here on Mumsnet was my first step toward recovery...

Hi @whiteflat48

I've been drifting around detox, hospital, NA for a couple of yrs. My social worker says I have mental health problems from trauma. When I last had a smoke was the first time I felt happy in years and years...

Detox and NA and your social worker will all be able to help you when you are ready to stop..

How will I know when ready is?

They say it's when you hit rock bottom......only you will know when that is

I guess that's a terrifying thought that I'm going to be out of control until I sink lower and lower...

Hiya. I'm a recovering heroin & crack addict. I'm on 70ml on methadone, but as crack is psychological there's no medication. Its just having control of any urges.
Anyway, what would you like to know? X @PurpleFrames

I suppose talking about is the first step. Knowing it's a downward spiral and wanting to talk is better than ignoring it. Stay safe x

No advice whatsover, sorry but im curious as to what makes someone take crack? Isnt it meant to be instant addiction? I can understand how people get addicted to ither drugs although ive never done illegal drugs i have an ussue with alcohol that i need to head off.

What does it make you feel like?

I hope you manage to recover and find some happiness

My step daughters mum was a crack addict. It totally messed her life up. She ended up having her kids taken away from her and going to jail. Now she lives hundreds of miles away.
Maybe ask yourself why you want to take it. It is the little things in life that matter like someone said above.
Are you surrounded by people who also take it? Do you need to get out of the situation you're in?
I hope you get control over this ,(get it out of your life).

You sound like you must of been desperate to take it . Iv had trauma councelling it’s hard but worth it . At the moment you’re just blocking the memories
