    I became a crack addict at 27 years old. It was great and fun at first. I had always been extremely shy and had few friends. I blushed a lot and people made fun of me. I was so depressed and embarrassed. Crack made me feel strong and bold. Unfortunately crack took about 20 years from me. I'm 2 years clean at age 50. I don't think I'll touch it ever again. I pray for every soul addicted to it. Ellie. Update - I am almost 2 and a half years clean now. It's 2022 now. I'm still clean and sober. I have no interest in Crack. God bless others still addicted. 2023 still clean. Quitting cold turkey is what I did. Bless you all. 2024 still clean. No interest in Crack.

    It’s not a lie that it can happen to anybody. I am 26 years old, educated, in finance field, and from a middle eastern family all living together in a big house. And yet I find time to escape and go do crack. Not only I’m guilty and embarrassed, I am worried that how many people it will hurt if something happened to me, especially my mom. I’ve been addicted to cocaine for 5 years and for the last month I’ve been doing crack. I don’t know why I’m doing this to myself. Why do I not care what it’s doing to me. It’s a real shame

      ur right that’s why they go back because they want the drug it’s not an active choice it’s rather logical but the only way to stop is to truly not want it anymore i think a good analogy would be if someone eats only potatoes for life and is then given the best meal on earth naturally they will not be content with the potatoes and will always want the meal especially if it’s a phone call away but magnified

      you’re some what right yes u won’t quiet unless u truly want to but i don’t think anyone deep in addiction necessarily wants to be there there’s a lot of factors if u have a support system, resources, is someone around u pushing u to use, withdrawals ofc & the mental part more than anything is the hardest most addicts have trauma that their self medicating saying u have no sympathy is unfair and the reason why not a lot of people get help all it takes is one ignorant comment like this to hurt someone or 1 positive comment to encourage them. saying “sorry if this sounds harsh”& continuing to say the most ignorant & unsympathetic comment doesn’t cancel it out btw.

      My husband I just married this year who was my bf of a year fell into a crack addiction while I was gone for two months, he was using blow in parties often before but nothing has topped what’s going on now, it’s days of being awake, running around, being aggressive, stealing from me, money, phones, bikes, TVs disappearing in our house and his parents house...I’m constantly afraid I’m gonna get stolen from I have to hide our cash or keep it at a friends house. When he’s home it’s a few days of sleeping 20 hours a day, eating in bed watching TV and complaining about body pains, he calls them days of being sober and not using but they are just days of recovery, sleeping it off after his body crashes until he can smoke again...He assures he loves me and wants to get better, he said he’s gonna start his own business with his parents help, I can’t possibly help financially with that after all he money I spent and los this year, he’s most of the time very sweet and still my best friend and the attraction is still there but the connection is suffering a lot. I started really;y wondering if he loves me in any form at all I’m lost and I don’t know what to do
