I need to be honest
I’m struggling with a cocaine addiction.
Nobody knows, I’ve never said it out loud, I’ve never even written those words. and I feel like I have to come clean somewhere. So here I am. I’m not ready to open up to anyone in my life, not even my therapist.

Hi,
If you do not to be open, you can attend Narcotics Anonymous society
@olivePal3034
it is a big step but once you admit not only to anonymous people on a website but to YOURSELF is when you can make change. the first step is always hard but small steps in the right direction are a good start.
@toughTiger6481 thank you for saying that 🩷
I used again. It’s so attainable for me. I’m in a bad and enabling environment but I keep telling myself I can stop while being in this environment. I’m losing hope and need to make a life change. How can I change my behavior and stop myself from continuing to use?? I’m trying to do this alone but joining this community is my attempt to be honest and seek support. But is it enough?

It is hard to stop or change if in a situation with enablers or perhaps other users.
I think of this saying.
“When you are up to your *** in alligators, it is hard to remember that your original intention was to drain the swamp.”
Hey brother, why are you so hopeless? The mercy of the highest power is huge.
As for me I use drugs personally, and it used to make me feel like a loser, however now I decided to not let it hold me back from succeeding.
I've been dealing with this addiction for 11 years now. Let me know if you want to talk.
