I have a serious issue with cocaine. The saying is "If you've tried it once, you are addicted", and I am no exception. I tried it for my first time around February earlier this year. I then stopped for about 1 1/2-2 months when a lot of my friends and peers were doing it. Then another break, and then about 2 weeks ago I started summer school in a suburb town of my city, and my class was full of coke heads, which then made it extremely dificult cause I either got it free, cheap, or very easily. What would be some good advice to quit and/or avoid peer humilition because of the issue. Thank you.
Additional info, added Monday August 2 2004, 10:27 pm: It's me agian... and I have been trying to stop but it is soo damn hard... it's the only thing on my mind even when I am doing something else. Thank you all for your advice, but in actuality, I am not gonna go back to a rehab. I have gone once when my school found acid and extasy on me... I stopped that but it just led to more of everything else like more drugs, sex, and fighting... Oh ya, and there is no way I am going to tell my dad... he would break down mentally because it's cocaine is the reason of my parents divorce... and just in case the thought of "If it caused your parents divorce, then why in the heck are you doing it?"... I was too young to be that effected by their divorce, all I really knew about then was that they fought too much. Ne ways....

I know you don't want to but its best! You need to get away from all the coke heads and druggies. The more your around, the better chance you have of doing it. I can give you more advice but I need to know a few answers....who was on coacaine that caused your family to divorce? How often do you do it? How long where you in rehab? How old are you? Get back to me! -*-Sonnie-*- [ SouthernBarbieGirl's advice column | Ask SouthernBarbieGirl A Question ]
Candy_Clouds_of_Lullaby answered Monday August 2 2004, 8:56 pm: For one if you feel like you really dont want to do drugs then you should get into a NA group from people with addictions...and maybe you should try and not talk to the people in your class that do coke unless you have to. Its best not to hang out with people who do what you want to stop doing because they will influence you to start doing it again...Best wishes with what you do and i hope that you stop doing drugs...because i would hate to have you end up doing to much and OD because my friend Oded on Ex! and it was horrible to know what she died from. and i know your family and friends wouldnt want to see you like that..So please try and get some help and dont hang out with junkies! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK! [ Candy_Clouds_of_Lullaby's advice column | Ask Candy_Clouds_of_Lullaby A Question ]

I look at him and I pity him.
He has no job, no car, no house, and no kids that want anything to do with him.
Yet, material possesions don't matter.
Serving time only lasts for so long, so what I recommend is going for as much coke as you can.
If that doesn't work, I say you lace some coke with rat poison, and distribute it.
