For 3M . Profit everywhere lol
Kirchoffs:
I recently bought my neat 2014 Toyota camry for 3M from a crackhead somewhere on the island. Crazy am seeing a topic on drug addiction after 1week. I really pity the guy mehn. He was shaking badly and begging me to buy it.

I pray for healing on all those who are addicted to one drug or another.

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
It's dopamine, that's what's responsible for all bad behaviors.

The little moment they feel they're in different world, when it fades away the brain will crave for that feelings again and again. That's what fuel all addiction, only those with strong will can overpower it.

The best way to stop addiction is never to try it in the first place.

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.

Try as much as possible to avoid them.

I think we've met in the past, Life Camp, Abuja.

Have you ever lived around there many years back?

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.

What job does that your friend do that makes him earn 500k monthly

I swear! You hit the nail on the head. I've
had first hand experiences. I've had millions and lost them to crack use.
It's a huge life destroyer. And very hard to come out

After Covid, when I got back to Nigeria after having not taken CK for over 18 Months, I spent N900,000 in 1 bleeping night.

My heart blocked oo! On several occasions I’ve had to spend 500K a day and yet the craving continues after 5 minutes.

The worst part is the cravings. It makes you somebody else until you hit it. Na God save me oo. I used my PS5 to smoke and owed more than 500K before I paid it off.

Are we counting gold rings that I had all over my fingers that got exchanged for CK?

That’s an eviiiiillllllll devilish type thing.

If I take CK today, I won’t eat till next tomorrow. Guy, I was lucky man. It’s over 3 years I never even near am. Last time I tried it, I hated it and held onto that.

It’ll mess you up 🥹

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.


God have mercy!

This ruined my friend, a senior executive at a Nigerian bank. Started stealing the banks customers money to feed the addiction. It got him fired and arrested. He did not come out of detention alive, even before he could make it through the courts.

By your statement, I can tell you have never been to America and ALL the information you have digested about America comes from movies and what you see on social media. Crack/Cocaine/prescription pills have done more damage in white communities and populations than it has in black communities. If you go to rural America, I am talking about the backwoods of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, south and north Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, where we have real rednecks and hillbillies, you will see the damage that crack has done to those communities. The only reason you might think blacks are more affected is because blacks live in cities and it's easier to see what's going on in the cities. Most people do not go to the backwoods of America I earlier mentioned, especially if you are not from there. That's a side of America they don't show you. There are communities there that are inbreds. Fathers sleeping with daughters, cousins marrying each other, siblings having kids together etc. Educate yourself.
You are so right and you understand the matrix of the society out here. I stay in South Carolina and it's obvious here.

Yeah you are right. The most important thing about quitting an addiction is will power.
Some have strong will power while others are weaker. It's about decision making and holding on to that decision.

I'll write more about how I stopped and had continued to stay sober.
I didn't use a psychiatrist as I couldn't afford at the start. I wish I could but I couldn't afford at that time. So I had to take the strong decision of quit totally or I'd be dead in a few months/years without achieving any positive outcome in life.

And didn't want to die with a failed legacy.

Sharing this thread is a good step. Why not change your moniker from crackaholic to ex-crackaholic or something.

Writing down how you feel is a great step to overcoming any addiction. Next is avoidance and replacing your source of dopamine/serotin
