3 Days clean now .. of a 2 year battle on and off (mostly on) crack and cocaine addiction. Left a toxic relationship that started based off cocaine , which lead to heavy and dependent crack use .
i won’t even begin to disclose the financial sides of this addiction…
But i am glad to have woke up and gotten myself out before It was too late.
In the long run , being in this place and realationship was causing me more pain and bad than i realized .
I made efforts to get sober but all attempts were sabotaged and i was pulled back in / fell for my own temptations.
I had seizures soon after my boyfriend started to have them. His were severe , i suffer PTSD from being there for over 10+ drug induced seizures .
Though I was glad I was there and he was okay It scared me , along with the danger of the lifestyle it brought me around , people , activity’s .
Woke up months ago but finally found the strength and though it was an unfortunate one i had a situation / opportunity to leave the environment and person and better myself and life. Will use my pain as knowledge and will heal from all of this bullshit.
Thankful for this chance and support at all around a better life .
KEEP IT UP!! Good on you for finding the strength!! Link up with a program and surround yourself with others that struggle with the same thing. CA is a great place!!
Reach out if you need to chat. Sober community has been the most important part of my sobriety so far. You don't have to do this alone.
Great job great share keep it up
This story sounds all too familiar to me ( besides the seizures). Your story hits close to home for me. My word of advice is to try to heal from the relationship you left, I didn't, and it caused many relapses as I was very co-dependent to her. I'm so very proud of what you've done because I remember how hard it was for me. Keep up what you're doing. Your new life is ahead of you !!!
It's good to put this stuff out into the world and get it off our chests. Thank you for sharing, Hold Fast.
never understood how people could go so downhill until i tried crack. good thing i noticed so far however is the only withdrawals from crack are the mental ones .
i have a lot of support and have been keeping busy best i can which has helped with cravings
Thank you so much 
means a lot. I’m so proud of you for getting out of a similar situation / relationship and sorry you had to go through it.
Isn’t easy but your right, definitely is better life ahead of me
Thank you 
i’m so proud of you. Praise God I’ve been there. I just celebrated 23 years clean and sober. You can do it as well. Keep pushing through it get a sponsor work the steps go to meetings get a commitment. Again I’m proud of you. 
I am proud of you. You are doing what necessary to become the best version of yourself. Please don't let the dark days ahead drag you back down. There are going to be days where all seems for not. Feelings of loss depression and a need to escape "use" is surely to arise. Just remember that is just a test. And tests can be easily passed. If for some reason you don't past the test that's ok there will another. Give yourself some grace and forgive yourself for how the past unfolded. You weren't who you are today. Just as you won't be the same person tomorrow.
Right on! I didn’t quit till 26. You’re on the right track
Wow thankful and grateful you got off that hellish ride!!
Hi there! Proud of you for leaving something so toxic behind and taking the leap into sobriety. That takes a lot of strength. I’m 24 and am an alcoholic/addict four months sober. Haven’t run into too many people our age on here. I sent you a friend request!
I’m proud of you! Keep at it, the recovery journey is worthwhile
