I just passed my 6 months sober from cocaine. Your videos helped me realize something NEEDED to change. Sobriety hasn’t been easy, even 6 months later I still think about cocaine every single day but being sober from cocaine is easier than struggling everyday being high.
One of my favourite bartenders was a coke addict. He was always hilarious and electric. Amazing show. Then one day I returned to the bar and he was friendly and polite but the show was gone. I asked a server what was up--he had a heart attack and received a warning from the doctor because of his cocaine use: continue using and die. He stopped. But also, so did the epic show. As a result of seeing his transformation from showman to typical gent, I totally get why folks in the public eye are tempted to do that shit. Best to resist if you can.
@@garrymcfadden4105 I'm doing very well now! I completely kicked my habit (even my weed addiction) and my life has never been better mentally. I still "miss" it sometimes but I'm glad that I was able to get my life back. Everything recovered and stebalized, except for my nose. I still have wounds in my nose from time to time wich I'll have to life with. But no running nose so all good. Thanks for asking. If someone is ever in doubt about kicking the habit.. All I can say is: go for it! You will thank yourself later!
I've been a cocaine and alcohol addict for about 12 years now and this guy is on point ive went a year and half sober but mentally still thought about it and as soon as I hit one line again i went back on the wagon and that was 2 years ago and now barely realizing it's a problem
Best way to quit is stop drinking and answering your friends phone calls for few months …that’s how I quit and trust me after 1 week u will feel better ,when u wake up fresh and early In morning
Hey Eric, I’m 15 and I’m diagnosed with adhd, derealization, depression, depersonalization, eating disorders, anxiety and Lyme decease and a chronic mono. And have recently started experiencing with opioids for a year now, I’ve been abusing percosets and I’m gonna be send to rehab, it’s pretty expensive but my perants are trying to get me help. I just want to thank you for making content for people to let them know they aren’t alone and it’s all going to be okay and that it’s a normal thing and a problem most people go through. You’re content has saved life’s . Thank you Eric
Bro work out instead I’m not tryna be rude but you listing all those “disorders” instead try working out and sex instead of drugs never gonna end welll
I was 3 weeks sober from cocaine and i just fell back into it been doing this S*it for the past 10 hours and before that i have been doing coke for 6 years twice a month and never more but im still addicted the most i have been sober from coke was 1 year but i failed cause everyone around me was doing...and i fell.
I'd say out of all the drugs I've done...coke is probably the easiest on the withdrawals. Compared to opiates/benzo/amphetamine. That's probably why it's not taken as seriously. But... you're right sir, it's in the same exact boat and should be treated as such.
when you use everyday from the moment you wake up to the time you go to bed. when you stop you become useless at work. at anything. the only thing you want to do is eat and you fall a sleep everywhere. but its just the first 3-4 days its probably a joke compared to opiates withdrawal though
I don’t do it but my sister does and her husband has ruined his health on it. stroke, needs new heart valves, diabetes, colon cancer. He was in a coma for a week with pneumonia. Hasn’t left the hospital for two months now.
When I went on my Bender it was just crazy. The ADHD thing you said same thing here untreated, but I remember stopping and there was no crazy types of withdrawal that was simply mental however I started to think and remember certain things yes like how much money I spent and then I literally just could not do this every day. I'm also a recovering opiate addict so I understand the principle and I have that addictive mindset already, even though the opiates I'm totally done with haven't even thought about that, when I had that cocaine member it was scary because yeah it made me feel good the first two lines and then the rest was just not fun and the nose pain and then the stuffiness which wasn't always too bad but still, not eating or having an appetite and forcing myself to eat, yes staying up all night even though I would eventually sleep I still could not live that way, it was just terrible and I knew I was damaging myself my heart everything I mean I know the mental aspect is hard but when you really think about living that way every day it's just miserable you don't even want to leave your house eventually. You just sit there and do it and go through however much I was doing a gram and then 2 days sometimes three, I guess that's not a crazy amount but still it's annoying to keep worrying about getting that early morning wake up boost. I just hate anxiety I need to be honest, that made my anxiety worse it made my high blood pressure get higher and at the same time, it also reminded me of opiate withdrawal because the sweating and the chills or any of those symptoms just triggered my PTSD for that
the hardest part is doing grieve to cocaine. even after 94 days clean everything is boring and I don't enjoy doing anything. I can't project myself having any enjoyement in the future while being sober. I keep grinding to get finance back on track. 24hrs at the time. but life is dull.
My problem is that I have some deep rooted self sabotage/hate for myself. Anxiety and undiagnosed ADD put me on this path from 15 and I can’t get out. It’s like a maze and I can’t get out. Like now. I KNOW I’m doing a urine test in 4 days, and what do I do? I buy coke and binge. Whyyyyyy. They are never gonna prescribe me ADD meds because I can’t stay sober for months.. Surrounded by people and yet so alone in my own misery.
Just realized I am fucked my job up been self sabotaging. Just blew 1800 this last weekend lost my job almost. Trying to get my shit together now one day at a time
I’m in same situation in uk. Spent £7500 in few months. Morning til night too not just night and weekends. Progressed in six months to fully fucked. On the sick from work for depression.
I was addicted to crack for 25 years. Daily usage of $100-$200 a day. I woke up one day and made the decision to move away from the drug. I moved over 1000 miles and never looked for crack....you can go to rehab and NA, but its important to be removed from the environment and people involved
So hard to get sober, I can go a day then I'm sniffing easily 8ball or 2 a day! up for a week then sleep for a day and repeat. Been doing this for 8 years steady.
I use to be prescribed Xanax and Vyvanse. I developed a pretty hard dependence on those, but I was able to just completely stop taking Vyvanse and taper off Xanax, as you may have a seizure if you just stop taking it completely. I was switched to Desoxyn (methamphetamine hcl tablet, 20mg) and modafinil, which strange enough I don't have really any dependence to the desoxyn as I only take it as needed, the withdrawal side-effects of amphetamines are mainly depression, but since I was switched to another type of amphetamine I didn't have that. The 20mg Desoxyn is actually way better for my metabolism than the Vyvanse oddly enough. The only side-effects I have from the Modafinil are jaw clenching, or popping the right jaw joint, not really an issue, just can be annoying at times lol
Been a cocaine addict for almost 3 years. It happens fast. Starts on weekends partying, before you know it it’s just the norm and you’re doing it frequently and spending every extra dollar on it. It’s not talked about enough, but most people I know In their 20s are all doing cocaine and addicted without even realizing. I don’t even know how to stop.

@@107g let me be even more specific, I also got arrested deep into my addiction. I served two months in county jail, got sober, I still got high a couple of times after I got out in 2015.

I make a lot money and coke has always been within reach but i was sober for a year from it...but all my friends do it but i never missed a day of work or missed important things for coke but i still do it twice a month for the past 6 years but before that i was 1 year sober i fell now im 10 hrs in on this binge, i wish i could stop but i have never hit rock bottom cause my job pays 50/hr
Get new friends. Ask the ones you have not to do coke around you. Reach out to those who care about you. You don't have to hit rock bottom to get help. You do not have to lose everything to hit your rock bottom either.
This has been going on for me for about 3 years. It was every other month or couple months the first two years. This year, it’s very difficult. Every other day, 2-5 days I’m using again. Buying 2 $50 bags a session. I feel so unhealthy, I need help. I used to be so into running and the athlete lifestyle. This took over quick with the partying and bad decisions. I need help. Can anyone give me some advice?
Ask God for help sometimes we need it. work hard stay busy and cut those bad contacts off completely. you can do it, others have before you, so what would be ur reason for not?
I wonder how you’re able to outweigh the high with life , when you talked about getting clean from coke you said that it was more horrible than a physical withdrawal and for hours on end you imagined doing coke , my question is when you look at life , how can ( this life 40 yrs of happy living) possibly outweigh the highs of a drug , when you talk about drugs and their highs it seems like that is totally worth to throw your life away ( ex heroin addicts say it’s a 10 he hole body orgasm times 1000 , cg kid says for 5 yrs after he quit meth he dreamt about it
You can’t get addicted It’s about self control I usually get a 8 ball or more around the festive season and I’ll do it while off work but once I’m back at work that’s it I’m done ….
