Does anyone have a drug problem? If so, which ones?

[SadGirl]

I use marijuana (but mostly medicinally), cocaine (very frequently), sometimes ketamine, codeine, and rarely some hallucinogens. I have generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder with major depression, ADHD, and social anxiety. And it's been getting worse over time, especially after losing my father. How can I quit cocaine? Does anyone have any experience to share?

I smoke weed but it's a problem because I've tried to stop a few times but really can't. I'm not supposed to smoke carts with bipolar and me experiencing psychosis but I still do it because it's my favorite since it doesn't smell too much and the smell doesn't stick.

For the cocaine thing have you tried a program? i was in one where they drug tested you and it was an IOP. I stopped going though because once again I couldn't stop smoking which sucked because I was there for social anxiety.

But would the accountability in a therapy setting help you + therapy help?

Been abusing mainly different stimulants alcohol, benzos and research chemicals of all sorts for quite some years now and I'll just say that I wish I never went down this path in all honesty.

I think I can get out of this without professional help, like hospitalization, for example. Few people know that I use cocaine. My mother can't even dream of it.

Me too, I find myself thinking about the time when I didn't wear anything, what have I become?

Once an addict, always an addict.

Yes, alcohol and opioids are my drugs of choice. I use cocaine just to sober up fast when I have to, and then benzos to avoid withdrawal symptoms and insomnia from alcohol binges. Opioids I have under control as once a week. I hate how fast it causes dependence. 3 days in a row and it's back to withdrawal hell and the only solution is to go to a clinic and get substitution treatments, which I hate. I refuse help from others, they are too judgmental and controlling. I also experimented with ketamine, but that is more as fun short trips. The reason I have alcohol and opioid addiction problems is because they help SO much with anxiety and physical backpain. The problems are that I cannot stop with "just a few". So I have to just endure anxiety and pain head on daily. But the pull is there, just the thought of a few swigs calming my mind down is so tempting and a pill that kills the backpain for up to 12 hours.

I like opioids. I take Lean (codeine and Sprite), but I've also taken tramadol, morphine, and oxycodone. I love to stay calm. I don't even know why I use cocaine, since it makes me even more anxious. Anyway, marijuana is good for calming and relieving my anxiety attacks. I'm using coke now, smoking marijuana, and drinking alcohol (which I don't like either, I don't know why I'm drinking).

I've abused them in the past. My last joint was 10 months ago and last time I had Coke was about a year ago. Ketsmine also about a year ago. I had a scare with law enforcement at which point I stopped taking anything other than alcohol. Drug rehab sessions might help, there are various techniques for staying away from substances. One easy technique is simply really think about all the disadvantages of being addicted to them, and keep a reminder, a list, it helps when you're having urges. There are probably also plenty of worksheets online for free that you could print out and fill out, and if they come with a YouTube video it might be even better
