I hate when posts pass two comment boxes. Summarize the topic once and for all. I didn’t click the title to be entertained.

Then leave this thread bro.. Instead of hating , then exit. It's simple. I hope this simple word of advice won't trigger some level of a anger within you.

Addiction to Marijuana nearly destroyed my life. I lost money, assets, friends. I spent almost 5 million for my rehabilitation processes.

Maybe one day I'll share my story here.

Op just know I'm rooting for you and also praying for you. I know it's hard, please don't go back to that rubbish. It is not worth it. I beg you in the name of God.

I wish you all the luck in life. Maybe we should start an online group to connect and support ourselves and also educate others on the dangers of drugs, if you're interested send a DM.

When it comes to addiction.. using the term one is stronger than the other is very wrong...

Icould be addicted to angel dust... And someone else could be addicted to cigarettes...

The one who smokes thinks his addiction is stronger than mine or vice versa.. but fact is no

Will and self determination (deliberately stopping) is the only way to fight addiction


No addiction is stronger than the other..

Crack addiction is the worst addiction one can ever be a slave to.
There is no amount of money that can sustain that. A crack addict can squander Elon Musk's wealth_it will take time, but it will certainly finish.
Take a look at some black communities in America, come to Accra and see how crack (the very local one) is ruining and tearing guys apart.

I HAVE MET THEM, YOU CAN NEVER RECOVER FROM IT.... IT TAKES THEIR SOUL, IT WAS NOT THAT EXPENSIVE FEW YEARS AGO AND YOU CAN LITERALLY BUY 4 GRAMS FOR LESS THAN 1K THEN. THEY ONLY SAY THEY CHANGE WHEN THEY ARE BROKE AND HAVE LOST ALL FRIENDS DUE TO THEIR THEFT AND MANIPULATION, BUT WAIT THEM GET EVEN 1M.... LOL......

IF YOU EVEN LEAVE YOUR PHONE WITH YOUR VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO IS AN ADDICT... MY BROTHER NA YOU DE GO BAIL THAT PHONE FROM THE DEALER...

I SAT WITH ONE ONCE AND ASKED HIM WHY?? HE SAID DO I KNOW HOW IT FEELS WHEN A MAN WANTS TO CUM, I SAID YES AND HE TOLD ME I SHOULD TIMES THAT PLEASURE BY 100K TIMES.. THEY CAN NEVER CHANGE NOR BOTHER

I don't know what people gain from doing drugs, the feeling of dizziness doesn't what it. I was on a site recently with some people and then they brought this drink they call monkeytail, which us Indian hemp soaked in alcohol. I decided to take two sips and see what it is like, for the whole day I wasn't myself, I was totally lost more like in a trance floating, My day was rendered useless and I couldn't achieve anything. At the end of the day. I just needed to sleep and wake up to get myself out of the terrible state I felt into. Since after the experience, I have been wondering what is enjoyable in taking hemp.

Hello nairalanders

I'm going to share my personal sincere experience from being a very bright sober university student with good academic performance and multiple talents also love by all around me to becoming a deeply hooked crackhead drug addict with a very scrupulous reputation and nearly deserted by family and friends alike.

It will be quite a lengthy post but I'll always come back to write whenever I'm on my leisure time.

I want to use this post to share my personal life experiences on drugs addiction and recovery. This is intended as a means of educating and enlightening individuals and families about drug addiction, how to go about it when they or their family members are affected.

First I must emphasize that the negative effects of drug ADDICTION is tremendous and very debilitating.
The level of addiction depends on the longevity of use and type of substance abused.

In my case, my major addiction is on Crack Cocaine (Charlie,CK, Coca, Coco, White Rock)
This is a very addictive and dangerous substance with high potency for addiction. It's also cruelly expensive and the urge/cravings that come with this drug is very strong.
I was previously addicted to Opiates (Tramadol) and had several seizures from overdose but quilt a few years ago only to find myself fallen deep into crack Cocaine, which is seemingly worse.

This is my 4-5th year of addiction. Though I've made up my mind to quite and it's barely a few days since I quit. I'll be posting my progress here.

Stay active here from time to time.

I'll first be writing about my personal experiences with crack Cocaine use then move to the side and effects, the cravings and heinious crimes I committed just to get money to buy this substance Crack. It almost turned my life over.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AFTER USE
Instant euphoria, increased confidence and raised energy, alertness is heightened, become talkative, extremely raised euphoria, increased libido

Negative effects
Dilated pupils, constant cravings, extremely high heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle spasms, vibrating body, restlessness, insomnia, constant fear of the unknown, profuse sweating, worst of it all is the cravings.
It made me sell of all my properties and loose all my personal relationship and assets, my job, everything. Including selling other people's properties just to fund the crack Cocaine cravings hobby. I nearly got suicidal at some point. Early signs of schizophrenia we're experienced. In fact people started seeing me as crazy. Thank goodness I am now on the train of recovery.

Ignore my typographical errors

I'll write more later... In a few hours.

I'll talk about my triggers my urge for taking crack. This usually applies to every other crack addict out there.

You can comment to share your thoughts and contributions on this thread if you have any.
Encouragements and questions are welcomed.

Be posting pictures of yourself too, so we can see the transition..

Drug addiction is worse of all addiction.

I had 2 friends who are addicts.
The day I visited his home, that was when I knew the financial implications.
I saw this tiny pill, dude said it cost 5k and takes upto 3 in a day... In fact there was another that cost 15k, it was inside a tiny container.

Someone that earns 500k+ plus monthly, was looking like a street tout.

Drug is killer.

The other one when he visited me, the first night this guy hate food I normally consume for weeks in just a night.
He was restless and always eating every 30 minutes.

But I really don't understand. Why all these harmful substances on what will give one stress and less peace of mind ? Coupled with the excess lost of money that accompanies it. Nawa

Hello Guys

I've been very much occupied with several tasks so I haven't been able to write here for a while.

Well I'm back

It's well up to three weeks since I've abstained from Crack. I must say in this Short while, my life is changing greatly though at a steady slow pace. Here are a few things about my behavioral changes since I quit crack cocaine.

- I'm now meeting up with my work responsibilities.
- I'm now neater and more hygienic. I make sure the few clothes I have I keep them all fully neat and tidied at all times. My environment, my room, my kitchen everything always well arranged at neat. These are things I cared less about and left unkept while I was taking crack.
- I am now focused on living a better life. Starting to have savings even though I'm not yet earning much.
- Decreased independence on people.
- I can now spend more time on myself sitting alone in my room or an isolated place. Before I was always moved to keep moving around.
- I have developed interest in returning back to my educational pursuits though I haven't started.
- My mental health is greatly improved. I no longer forget so much and I can now make vital decisions correctly.
- Couldn't stay in a relationship previous and all my friends deserted me. Only family had my back.
- Working hard to pay off my debt and improve myself. No longer focused on working to buy more crack cocaine to smoke.


The urge still comes in from to time but I do my possible best to get it off my mind. I can watch a movie, go out to chat with friends, take sleep meds or eat when I get the urge.

I'll write more on the challenges I faced in my past days of crack addiction later.
I have to attend to my work.

Try meditation. A lot of our addictions, regardless of the kind, are because we are not at home with ourselves, and are seeking stimulations to escape. Meditation, done overtime, will teach us to be centered, get rid of a restless mind, and become at home with ourselves.

OP, my advice for you will be to create a thread in the diary section and be updating the thread on your progress achievement.

Creating a thread for accountability on diary section will not allow anyone to comment on it, it is a read-only section for other users, because creating an open thread like this will give rooms for negative comments that may create self doubt in you thereby discouraging you in moving forward on your determination and resolution which may eventually cause you a relapse.

OP... be strong! I admire your boldness to tell your story. Congrats on quitting even its for a few days or weeks so far. Its not easy. .. I understand perfectly what you went or are going through.

I have a simlar story. In my case it was opiods- pentazocine to be exact..which I was given for a chronic painful episodic disorder.

Started using consistently, recreationally in late 2013... went to rehab in 2018 for 6 weeks, came out a changed person.. a year later, had a relapse. Since then its been off and on.

I had surgery 3 months back and I had to be put on morphine initially, then oxycodone to manage the pain. My doctors are tailing it off gradually though.

In my case, I have better control somewhat as I'm currently in an environment where one can't get these drugs over the counter by flashing a medical personnel ID , which I did easily in Nigeria.

In my current environment, you must go through your GP and if you have to on pain relief for a long time, they put one on mild opiods and it's strictly monitored.

My advice to you is to stay away from triggers so you don't go back. Triggers could be people, places, things or even circumstances that make you want to get high. In my case just sighting syringes could trigger a craving.

Try as much as possible to avoid them.

Drug addiction is the most dangerous form of addiction ever.
Most of the betting addicts I've come across still take care of themselves, but you see crack is a whole new different story. You'll lose everything. Finances, social relationships, you'll even lose yourself. There's a stage they get to the only thing they think about is how to smoke that shit.
Them no dey do big man for where cocaine dey. If you know anybody that earns very high but can't point to any meaningful things they've done with the money know that they're addicted to drugs. Even if you have a billion, you'll exhaust everything.

Very destructive. They won't even care about physical appearance anymore. Won't care about social relationships ( relationship with family, friends, wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriends etc) the only thing they care about is to smoke the shii. But this is the addiction stage.

There are people who smoke it but still take care of themselves and haven't lost themselves into it, those people are yet to be addicted. It's impossible to see someone addicted to it that looks okay or in top form in any criteria of life.
