i want to stop smoking crack cocaine. I dont no how. dont know how to even start try. please help.?

Answer 1

you're looking at three weeks of pain to get to the pasture on the other side.
join a support group and stay well clear of people and places that you associate with crack. tell your boring straight lace friends that you need to hang out with them for a while and why. plan your day as much as possible to be full of crack free (but still fun)activities. if you have co-workers on coke, ask for a transfer or quit your job.
my city has a 311 city information line that will put you in touch with a rehab center. or there is the yellow pages under "drug addiction information and treatment".

Answer 2

You need to stop hanging out with this friend. Even if this is only temporary, it will keep you from being tempted. I quit after smoking several times a day for about four years. I had to spend some time away from my friends, but they were understanding. Now it has been almost 2 years and I can hang out with them while they smoke with no problem. As for the boredom, I concentrated on school and work. It might also help to get a job (or work more hours) or get a hobby. Since you are trying to impress the ladies, you might want to get into lifting weights or something like that. Good luck. And remember - everything is okay in moderation. P.S. Just because pot isn't physically addictive, it can be mentally addictive - any behavior can. Gambling is a good example of a mentally addictive behavior. In response to YoYoMama: No causal evidence of pot causing psychotic episodes exists. It could be that those who are more likely to be schizophrenic are also more likely to smoke pot - that only proves correlation, not causation. Many people with mental disorder self-medicate with drugs.

Answer 3

I really believe you are serious. For starters find an accepting group. Look for a Christain fellowship group like a group home. Sometimes churches can be a little too much. You need help outside of yourself. There is far more to any addiction that meets the eye. Tonight in the church I visited, there were about six males who used to do crack.

Teen Challenge is another group; it is for adults ONLY not teens. It has been helping men and women kick the habit since the late 50's. Email me if you want to know more. You can do it; I know you can. Keep your hope alive!

Answer 4

If you really want to stop, then you will be able to stop and you just need to pick a method that works for you. Just as many people stop all on their own as do through groups, clinics and therapy. Contrary to the marketing things like 12 step programmes do not have success rates better than people who quit on their own.

The first thing you can do right now is start putting off taking the drug. When you feel like having some decide to put it off for an hour, and keep doing that. For some people I tell them to call me each time they feel like it. The hardest thing to crack is the habit. Do you play computer games? They can be good for keeping you distracted for extended periods.

With stimulant drugs you can expect to feel tired for sometime after you stop if you have been using the drug all day every day. There is no way around it.

Answer 5

what a shame, i suppose focussing on anything must be hard for you. Maybe a doctor or friend would be a good place to start or family member(you'll need support from a non-taker. Not only will you need to go into rehab and withdraw you need to plan how you will live after, if there is somewhere you can go away from other takers for a while it will give you a chance to re-build your life. Maybe it would be good to sit and think how you would like to live and plan it.

Answer 6

Go to the hospital and tell them whats going on and let them detox you. You need to be detoxed before going to anyplace. Or a rehab center might be able to help you detox. Detox is very important. Just take that first step. You can do it!!

Answer 7

Go to a rehab center, thats probably your best bet. Even though it might not sound too good right now, you won't regret it later. Force yourself to go.

Answer 8

Go to rehab. Just go to someone. Why'd you even smoke it in the first place? It's so ghetto.

Answer 9

You should contact some deaddiction centre but firstly you should be firm in your decision to stop all these things.

Answer 10

if you have family tell them you need help. if you dont' get to detox place and ask for help. you can go to doctor and get help. go to the hosp emergency and get help. it will be very hard but ths stuff kills. it takes the heart and then you are done. please try hard its not easy but worth it and your self to be fine god take care of you.
