Cocaine addict?


i've noticed in the past week my coke use has increase. i've been using for about one and a half months now. the past towo weeks i've inceased my number of lines they get bigger and fatter longer. i've lost 20 or more pounds about to drop under 100. i've stollen money from my dad. i rip people off to make profit. i never ever thought it would get like this. i never knew how outta control my life could get when i'm not looking. i need help. i'm 16 going on 17 soon. i live my dad. if he knew he would kick me out i would go into foster care. my 'true' friends( not the ppl i snort coke with) dont know. i twitch, i cant really tell if its hot or cold. cant hold still anymore. my ribs hurt. sometimes its hard to breathe. i dont know if i can stop but i need to slow down.
The past 24hours= 11 maybe 12 lines

help please

you are addicted. You are not alone in your battle. You are not a bad person, just a person making bad decisions. Call the AA or NA hot line in your area(call information) and go to a meeting tonight. You say your friends don't know, you are fooling yourself, most people around you know something is up. They just don't know to what extent probably. Recovery is possible. You still have alot to lose, don't let your bottom be you losing everything, even worse, your funeral. Do you want help? Do you want to stop the insanity? Do you want to stop using? These are questions only you can answer. Go to a meeting and get a sponsor-raise your hand and ask-these people have been where you are now and worse.

i am a 17 year old male going through the same as u
it breaks my heart to think about myself as a child with my parents and then looking at myself now.
i love my parents, and that is what helps me to stop.
i have not done coke for 1 month now and will never again. i already feel so much better.

DON'T BE DUMB & AND MAYBE ASK SOMEONE FOR HELP! GOODLUCK!

Yes you are a mess. I was the same way. i stopped cold turkey. I think that is the only way to go. Just Stop. I truly believe cocaine is just a mental addiction. I have been clean for 10 years now. I have a great wife and 2 wonderful daughters that i would have never got to experience if it was not for a little will power.

You should talk to "narcotics anonymous". They might be able to help you get over this problem.

First of all you need to get help. You need to find someone you trust and seek their help. You also need to just quit using coke. The withdrawal period is tough, but in order to break free and retake control over your life you need to get through it. These are withdrawal symptoms: increased appetite, severe fatigue, lethargy, depression, and severe cravings.

Also there are a number of detox and treatment centers around the country. There are many online resources to help you, but the main thing is to remember that it must be the addict himself who wants to quit.

i am 20, ive been on my own since i was 16 grew up with little supervision and drugs were my recriational activity. rock bottom is when i stopped doing drugs. coke is one of the hardest drugs to quit because it is so pleasurable. youll be prone to depression after you quit. side effects are milder than ppl think. i am a psychology student and my thesis is about drugs and social context. so good luck bro and try your best.
PS if you go on cocaine sprees and start hallucinating, you have to drink lots of fluids smoke a joint and try to sleep dont mix with sleeping pills.

you are an addict. you should get help now thats bad i dont know u but i dont want anything to happen to u . good luck!!!

firstly never be ashamed of your addiction! if someone cannot deal with/acknowledge that you have a problem, they are not your real friends! contact a local youth organisation that deal with addiction, they can help you by being a medium with regards to your father & help him understand your position. i have just stepped away from a 11yr addiction & i am only 24, telling my parents was tough. they knew i smoked weed & drank alcohol on the odd occasion, but never knew that i was also battling a 'party drug' addiction. telling them was the hardest thing in the world, cause i knew how much it would break there hearts, as is the same fear you have with your father. i did a 3 month stint in rehab & my parents joined me for counselling. & yes telling them was tough, but it also helped my recovery knowing that they were there to support me. they were disgusted that i had let myself get that far & it took them a while to understand, so don't feel disheartened when your father gets a shock. as he might need time to adjust to the circumstances. you should be very proud of yourself for acknowledging you have a problem, you are on your first step to a positive future, so keep in there & remember that you are not alone & alot of people walk down the wrong path & find there way back again all the time! :)

yea your tolerance builds up..i understand completely! clammy hands..paranoia.. i went to the hospital once had a panic attack! i thought it was a heart attack! someone told me i twitch..

seriously, it just gets worse. i stay up for days now.. NOT WORTH IT. if you can, get away for a week. drinking makes you crave it so no drinkin. try na.. if you crave it do somethin else, craving goes away.

Tell your friends...your real friends and tell them you want to quit. There is surely nothing more motivating than having a group of friends supporting you and showing they love you when your going through this time in your life.
Also this is a time you really really really need God. Pray and you'll find the right answer.
Best of luck!
