I think I developed a cocaine addiction. Help!?

Published June 3, 2010

I’m 30 years old, married and my husband and I started using cocaine a couple years ago. At that time, we tried it with then acquantiances but, after a couple times, we stopped and didn’t have the desire to continue. Within the last two months, however, we have used cocaine several times a week and i’m scared that we have become addicted to it. Every time we make a pact to not do it anymore, when the weekend comes, someone will hint to it and the other will support us getting more. I’m really scared. I don’t want to ruin my life and I see that it’s not as easy as we thought to stop “cold turkey” because we rationalize the weekend use as just “having a good time on the weekend.”

I told my husband I was going to a NA meeting this evening because I think we need help. At this time, he doesn’t have the desire to go.

Any advice? Thank you.
