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.
I've personally been in such a position. Your assets don't matter to you when you have that urge

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.
Thanks for your contribution and encouragement. All the drugs you mentioned above, I've done them but not to the addiction level. Injecting Pentazocine was something I quit just a few days after trying because I have shaky hands and couldn't inject myself properly. Thank goodness I didn't get addicted to such drugs.

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 🥹
I appreciate your honesty. What you've described above, I've face as well and thousands of others. This is why I opened this thread. So we can all share our stories and learn too

More than 20 people I personally know are addicted to crack cocaine here in Ebonyi STATE.

Ebonyi Abakaliki oooo.
Are you sure it is crack cocaine or crystal meth? Some people mistake the two. Meth is easier to make than crack cocaine.

Worse of it is that lots of people taking crack don't even know it's actually CRACK COCAINE they are taking.

I had to do several research with the substance before I actually discovered the real name of what I was taking.

There's always street slangs attached

Food morning everyone

I want to personally use this medium to thank the mods that helped push this my post to front page. Honest I didn't expect it.
I am grateful for all the contributions, encouragements, prayers and also the negative feedbacks.


I'm preparing to head to my work place this morning but by noon I'll write a detailed post of how my addiction started fully and also details on every drug I've tested and why I got addicted to crack alone.
It's gonna be very educative.


Y'all keep dropping your contributions and questions.
I'll do well to respond.

Also please note that I have to go to work early because I work in a radio station as an IT personnel. And I'm working hard to pay up my debts and live a fully free life.

crackaholic:
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.
Bro, I'm praying for you to succeed on this journey. Much love.

I'm not strong. I'm actually the weakest you can ever encounter in terms of willpower. Quiting an addiction like crack cocaine is worse than pornography, sex addiction, weed addiction and every other drug. I had to find a reason to quit within my self and stick to it.
That's great, you still had will power, I had to travel to buy iboga.
I still have 20 grams left, Incase you wanna buy, or for someone dear to you still using drugs

I appreciate the fact that you actually stated a solution. My honest opinion is that this your Iboga won't help anyone as long as the person hasn't developed the zeal to quit .

You've been so much about the Iboga stuff.
Sorry but I really think you should put it aside or create a different thread to advertise your magic drug addiction solution called Iboga
Re: My True Horror Story Of Crack Addiction And Recovery Process by Franzinni: 6:44am On Nov 25, 2024
Op no matter what happens


STAY ON COURSE ! FIGHT !! IT WONT BE EASY, THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS WILL MAKE YOU HATE YOUR DECISION

STAY ON COURSE!

I just quit thc... When I started having pains in my abdomen and my eyes started feeling like I am going blind ... I have evaluated what I benefited from smoking and I will tell you the negatives far outweigh the positive
Say no to drugs please, it will derail your life totally

In addition , brother, it's a different case when it comes to opioid... Any one addicted to opioid will stop automatically..... I've not seen or heard of an opioid addict that went back to opioid after iboga.... There is no such thing....
You downgrade iboga, I believe I was more addicted than you are, I never had the will power, it was like a curse, mind you, colos is damn addictive.... Iboga is more than magical, no doubt.
Re: My True Horror Story Of Crack Addiction And Recovery Process by LordFaraday(m): 7:10am On Nov 25, 2024
It can never be the natural cannabis, I guess you were taking the synthetic one's. The natural cannabis is from God and it's an herb, great legends have taken it and loved it. Take natural cannabis (edible form preferable) and never mix it with any hard drugs and your days shall be long.
Basiljoe:
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.

You better pray that guy doesn't locate you and steal that car from you. Drugs can make them do anything... be guided

Avoid buying things from guys who are drug addict. They can come back for it. Going to jail means nothing to them, they just want to satisfy that argue

Smart move... I see you have good conscience but pls next time buy things that will give you peace of mind. I can bet you're no 100% comfortable driving that cat each time you think of hose you own it.
My best advice, sell it off. You may think they don't know where you stay, according to you, your school mate was the link, sane way anyone can also link you.

But wishing you all the best though

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.

Re: My True Horror Story Of Crack Addiction And Recovery Process by Konquest:
crackaholic:
I'm be writing more details later tonight. I'm still busy with my job as an IT personnel in charge of computer operations in a radio station in my city. We close quite late on weekdays.
From the way you wrote in your FIRST post on this NL thread, I instantly knew full well that you are highly educated.

The current President of the United States' son, Hunter Biden who is a lawyer is a sad reminder of how hard drugs addiction can mess up a man. There have been many aircraft pilots, senior bankers, engineers, top sports men and women, IT specialists, top musicians and song writers, etc, who have in the past and present been caught in the insidious web of drug addictions. It's crazy because it destroys the entire being of the users, and spikes up cases of domestic violence and robberies in any society. This is why I have always advocated for the ultimate capital punishment for these criminal drug barons and drug traffickers via hangings, electric chairs and lethal injections. Over the years, the central and regional governments in countries such as Nigeria and South Africa have NOT been serious but have been helping to fuel this drug menace by NOT introducing the death penalty to serve as a STRONG deterant to other criminals. Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia are MORE serious countries that know full well that drug trafficking can ruin their people and civilizations and this is why death penalties exist in those economically strong countries!

I'm glad you came to the realization that YOU have to quit taking crack and more after losing millions of your money on this crazy addition. You're the REAL MPV my friend! I'm aware that Redeemed Church (RCCG) of Pastor Adeboye has an effective drug rehab program and facility in Epe, Lagos State. Pastor Tony Rapu also has another highly effective drug rehab program in Lagos State. Just do more research online and grab the contacts of those two places if you haven't. If you're based in Lagos, it would be easier to reach out to these drug rehab contact points easily.

I'll continue to read on silently (as-and-when-due) and offer more suggestions to you down the road.

Enjoy your day.

Cheers.
