I hope this does not trigger anybody. I used to do cocaine - Ive quit for 14 years. Lately I dont feel that Im getting a fair shake at life. Today I was contacted by an old drug buddy who made it very much worth leaving work to go see her.

Im afraid if I do this I wont stop.

Thanks,

C

(((Cthomas))) - is there a supportive buddy you can call or a program similar to AA you could call for support? Think of something positive you can do for yourself. Sending you strength and don't give in to temptation.

Call the help line for AA or NA, look in the yellow pages. Call someone and "tell" on your addiction.

Writing about your temptation here is a good first step. Check in throughout the day and stay connected with us. We care. Keep yourself clean, don't throw that many years away.

Don't do it. One hit is too many and a thousand is never enough.

You keep trying because that's what you HAVE to do. The alternative is very grim and you don't have to go there. Don't pick up...don't. Just don't.

Notz is right, picking up is not worth it - you've got too much clean time to risk throwing it away. Like they say in AA, I always have another relapse in me, I may not have another recovery.

I hope you find something positive to do to take your mind off using.

Hang in there.
