Approaching 11 weeks since I last used cocaine & alcohol.
It is genuinely getting easier and easier.
The benefits are getting greater. I’ve lost 20lbs, saved over £1,000, I’m performing better at work, in my family, in the gym.
Coffee shops are my new pub.

Very pleased, but having got to 250 days last year, I know I’ve to be humble, work hard, focus and keep going.

227 days without Cocaine.
Cocaine ruined my life completely. No sleep or food for days, it was a monster that ripped through me, my health, finances and relationships.
I’ve recently re-introduced 3-4 drinks

To those that have relapsed, get back up 💪
I did 250 days sober, made strides forward mentally and physically
Then 6 weeks of cocaine and drink
I felt lost and back to square 1
I’m now 8 days clean and I feel like I’ve picked up at day 250 instead of day 1!

I’ve not had cocaine for 10 weeks.
Ive gone from feeling drained & defeated…
To feeling energetic, happy…like im actually fulfilling my duties as a human being, partner, father, son.
Fitness is my new addiction, but for you it could be any other hobby.

But I CAN! Nothing can tempt me now.

I was at a work social last night. 8 of us, in Manchester having food and drink to celebrate a good month.
Everybody had 4-5 alcoholic drinks, I had soft drinks.
The temptation just wasn’t there. I had such a laugh, ate great food, drove home!

Normally at 5:45am on a Saturday, I’m ordering more cocaine, with old 00s dance hits on the TV, curtains closed, 2-3 of us chatting utter rubbish
Instead I’m making coffe, prepping my gym bag and protein & planning a nice day with my family.
Such a difference!

@ Dapper Laughs live gig last night, sober.
People all round me sniffing keys of coke, cracking beers and wine open.
At 10.15pm the show ended, I jumped into my car and was in bed by 11pm.
Any fomo didn’t last.

It’s been a month of false starts and stalling
Bottom line is: Don’t try to re-introduce “a few beers” when you’ve quit cocaine.
1st wknd: 2 beers
2nd wknd: 4 beers
1 wk holiday: Beers, vodka, cocktails
4th wknd: 24 hour bender with cocaine

For clarification.
I’ve never been a daily drinker type alcoholic. I can go a week or 2 without drinking.
My issue is I’m a binge drinker who progresses to all night cocaine use.
