Help for Coke addiction

if you want to overcome Cocaine Addiction and have finally admitted to yourself that you have a problem with Cocaine, the first step I would take is to contact Cocaine Anonymous(CA) or Narcotics Anonymous(NA) via their helplines...

Cocaine Anonymous 0800 612 0225

Narcotics Anonymous 0300 999 1212

Once you have made contact with CA or NA, they will arrange for someone to meet you to answer all your questions about Coke addiction and if you are up for it, take you to a recovery meeting. There you can access all the support and education you need to beat and recover from Cocaine addiction.It could save your life.

However, if you feel that Cocaine Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous is not for you, there are other options available to you such as private and State-run Rehab centres, Addiction Counselling, and Detox centres but usually, after your treatment programme ends, you will be strongly encouraged to start attending NA/CA meetings except you could be over £40,000 poorer after paying for your Rehab treatment!

But there is another way...me!  Or someone like me who apart from being an Addiction Therapist has also recovered from Cocaine addiction themselves. I have been clean now since 1999 which means I know what works and just as importantly what doesn't in beating Cocaine addiction for good.I offer a bespoke service for individuals who accept that they are addicted to Coke or Crack but due to either family or work circumstances cannot afford the time away either to spend three months in a Rehab facility or even a recovery meeting for reasons of privacy but can afford a Recovery Mentor like me. A lot of my clients are actually professional footballers who are addicted to Cocaine, gambling and Snus(check out my other blogs on this)

As a Recovery Mentor, I provide much-needed daily accountability and support as well as teaching you the tools of how to live a life free of drugs. What a lot of addiction treatment providers forget is that when you are in a Rehab facility or Recovery meeting, you are safe as you are surrounded by loving supporters, peers, and mentors and there are no drugs on offer! It's when we go out into the real world where there is temptation, dealers, and triggers that the risk of relapsing occurs. Having someone you can check in on a daily basis to get the support, accountability and advice you dearly need can really make the difference in keeping clean, a day at a time. This is why in CA and NA having a Sponsor/Mentor is crucial.

But to maintain our recovery and all the hard work and sacrifices we have made, we have to get to the root of why we became addicted in the first place, so we can ensure we don't fall into the same trap as before. Working with a Mentor who specialises in treating addictions can really make all the difference in you keeping clean and getting your life back and starting to discover the real, authentic you.

But to maintain our recovery and all the hard work and sacrifices we have made, we have to get to the root of why we became addicted in the first place, so we can ensure we don't fall into the same trap as before. As they say in the Recovery movement," stopping using is easy...it's staying stopped that is the hard part!"

Most Addicts usually are suffering from traumatic events that happened in their childhood which still affect their lives in their adult life such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and co-dependent relationships. This is especially true when it comes to Cocaine addicts as the latest research suggests that people use Cocaine for status, as it's perceived by many to signify wealth and power, which Coke addicts crave because of their lack of self-worth. It's all about the external factors in their life such as hierarchy in their social group, showing people how much money they have and Cocaine has cultivated this image over the years. Knowing this information is critical in treating Cocaine addiction.

The protocols in addressing Heroin and Cannabis addiction are very different as the addict uses these particular drugs to press pause on their life and they can forget about what is stressing or even traumatizing them for a while. Cocaine certainly doesn't do that!

If you think you are addicted to cocaine and have tried the fellowships etc. and cannot afford the time or money to go to Rehab, why not contact me and see if I can be of help? I offer a free, no-obligation online call where we can explore how to get you off Coke and get your life back for good.
