I have a pretty good crack addiction going for myself. It's been a number of years now and I can't believe I'm still alive. I've tried a few things to help myself and was able to stay clean for a while. But then I learned of a new problem 8 yrears ago that is causing me to lose my vision That's all it took really to give up. Today I still feel the same way expect worse. I lost quite a bit in the last few years, but not my addiction to crack. It's killing me and I'm letting it. I can hardly see my hand in front of my face now, and this is not something that going away any time soon. no one should have to live this.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!!!!!

I would stop doing crack. There are resources available to you, you choose.

Get away from the crack and all your crack "friends".
This is an ugly drug and will destroy you if you let it.

Freddy is right Sesame....crack will destroy your life! Eventually you will completely crash and burn. You can't keep it going and function in life forever. My husband started using crack almost a year ago and went down hill VERY fast. It was awful to see how that drug destroyed him. We've about lost everything due to his addiciton and that is the truth. I hung in there and stuck by him though until he finally realized he was powerless to it and had a severe problem (you have to get to that point) and he is now in a 1 year residential rehabilitation program through Teen Challenge. You HAVE to want to quit, for GOOD. You have to know that you can NEVER touch the stuff again. Get help! And get it fast. Teen Challenge is an awesome non-profit organization with adult men's centers all over the US with a 93% recovery rate. It is not just for teens. It can change your life! But YOU MUST be willing to do whatever it takes to change your life and get out of the bondage of addiction. God bless and my thoughts and prayers are with you....
