Reality of Cocaine and Alcohol Addiction

As a recovering addict from Alcohol and Cocaine, this was my reality of life and even now trying to explain what addiction is like to a non-addict. Thankfully we can get sober and we can turn our lives around, it is work and it is not easy but it is so worth it one day at a time!

Alcohol is a major trigger to do anything and everything you normally wouldn’t do

[@HdHd-hp6qz]

The most messed up thing about cocaine addiction is the next day the brain tricks you into believing its ok to do coke. Its a very calming and reassuring feeling. Its crazy.

[@cosmictrinity11]

out of all the addictions ive dealt/still deal with, cocaine is the worst and the most life changing. ive smoked weed and cigarettes and dealt with alcoholism for years and was very functional. i started doing coke some months ago and my craving for it is worse than my cigarette addiction which was the worst for me for awhile until i started doing coke. to anyone who may read this whos never touched it DONT. if you’re sober from it im truly proud of you ❤️ this is by far the one of the worst addictions ive had because it feels like its made all of my other addictions worse.

[@machoman7896]

The love hate relationship with cocaine is hard to explain

[@agape194]

period.

[@andrewshea5130]

So true. The love of the first line feeling/ early onset of the high, the hate of the next day comedown and anxiety. It’s horrible.

[@kingmack1046]

Most honest content EVER. Thank you bro! going thru it as we speak...

[@brzvch9433]

Thank you so much for sharing this man. Related to everything you said here. Been in recovery since last October and have started back over on day one so many times, but I keep coming back and I keep trying. Hearing what you said in this video was extremely helpful today, and really made me more motivated to stay on the journey just for today. 🙏🏼

[@philliprocco8073]

Strong video man and you're hella real about this! Picking coke off the carpet is definitely addiction glad you made it through it, you are awesome!

[@EricBZink]

Thanks it’s been a battle but here still

[@horrornoise4477]

Dude. Heartbreaking stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this. Moving stuff 😔

Truth!!! One of the most honest and hilarious videos on addiction. 👍👍

[@robertgreenaway5166]

Man your so strong for telling this!!! The social side of it comes first!!! Then before you know it your on your own doing it!!!

[@montenegropg3166]

I was a cocaine addict and this man explains it so good maybe the only one on youtube COCAINE IS SHIT

[@branscombe_]

Saw you on CG Kid YOu looked so happy with your wife at the end of the video. God bless you on this journey

[@martinvergara22]

I saw you on cj kid. That was me at 1 point. Glad you and I chose a different path! Respect!

[@EricBZink]

Truly appreciate that it’s been a battle and cool he is one of my best friends

[@dianakraft4452]

For my mom it was alcohol and benzos. I smoked weed for four years when I was homeless.But I still smoke cigarettes. I'm so proud of you.You are needed.❤️

[@kylemackay3882]

This is my exact story right now man, and no non addicts have no idea it drives me nuts and your 100% right sober for 148 days and people are like your doing great year but at the same time it was horrible . I relapsed begging of February and going since

[@khristiand2121]

Keep ya head up ⬆️

[@12jackassguy]

dude , wow, im just snorting all dust and shit while watching this. damn man. this is the first story in my life that i hear that is like exactly the same as me. dude im really proud of you that you get sober. im 23 myself too now and i started trying to get sober for 6 months now. and your story really inspired me because littearly every second you talking its exactly how my life is going. and I see you got through it so you gave me so much more hope and power to fight this battle and get sober

[@misspiccola11]

Do it! You got this. You deserve it. Get clean.

[@branscombe_]

how are you now ?

[@ssj9devil]

aye man fr how are you now?

[@12jackassguy]

@@ssj9devil was sober for 2 years just relapse for 6 months..

[@ssj9devil]

@@12jackassguy like you just recently relapsed for a total of 6 months or is it still ongoing? It's a journey man; if you feel like you need the instant relief at the moment don't beat yourself up for it. Do realize it's a hollow sense of enjoyment, and sobriety will always profit your body and mind better. We here for you, I'm personally not perfect either man. You got this.

[@XRP-Mill]

Thanks for being so ppen and hon at with toir nattles. your helping others

[@kayleeopp4079]

Alcholism sucks.. used to drink to take the pain away.. when in all reality it just makes it worse

[@EricBZink]

It so is!

[@mikhailpaggao253]

I felt that man. Even with fellow addict alcoholics. Even if they say there's no judjment. They still compare your drug of choice to yours. I've attended meetings with comparisons. Even to comparing me to gambling addiction

[@andrewhunter5033]

Damn... The 99 bananas hit me. I drink the shooters of those as well. I'm only 20. Not gonna lie I'm on coke and drank 5 shots of 99 proof and a pint of fireball along with multiple lines tonight. I don't feel I have a problem with either substance. I smoke weed drink and take different pills when available. I really wanna get clean. This sucks (btw I have my first kid on the way) my son. Mom and dad are heroin/meth addicts.

[@MrJypsye]

this should have more views

[@EricBZink]

Thanks I just hope it helps someone

[@JGworld91]

I’m learning as much as I can about this addiction. My loved one is in his first week away at recovery from coke and alcohol. We had two good convos this week during his phone time. He called me on Mother’s Day great spirits very sweet. 2 hours later texted me saying I’ll never hear from him again. I was alarmed because he had his phone, but they said he is doing fine. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@ronniecegarner]

Dude you got me dying over here

[@sebz1390]

I haven’t gotten that way with coke but alcohol has darkened my life. Still have much to look forward to if I get my head on straight. But I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. DWI, lost fiancé lost friends. It’s just not worth it, but it’s so hard to stop when your feeling so low. Pray for me please

[@nataa1990]

Prayers to you !! God bless you and help you get through this 🙏 🤍

[@anthonylaflare6392]

I hope you’re doing better

[@aceofmen.]

Tiu have said everythong ive been doing. But for 24 years, Im so screwed up i have no sense of direction anymore

[@gr8livn]

3:43 I don’t miss this part of the addiction for sure.. I’m surprised I never got fired

[@jdashlovela]

my bf is addicted to both and its ruining our relationship. hes not functioning he spends everything on it and stopped working. its exhausting

[@ericmays45]

How did you get sober

[@jonathanibarra5315]

How did u do it I can’t stop I try

[@royalsaint117]

"I drink ten bottles 99 proof alcohol and get a suger free redbull cause I'm tryna take care of my body." Lmfao best quote I've heard all week

[@astrarai-thesobercoder]

😅 😂😅 I'd hit the liquor store, buy minis of Bacardi Superior and then walk to a corner bodega that I knew had red bull - sugar free of course 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@robertgreenaway5166]

I don’t know what to do

[@fifaultimateboy2634]

Absolutely love you dude !!@

Battling this dumb shit now. I’m not as bad as you described, but it’s not affecting my relationships with people I care about I’m falling behind on my athletic abilities Saving plenty of money, but still not getting what I want to be

1:47 very true BTW brotha

[@giorgiogazzola5972]

99 Bananas first thing in the morning??? Yikes.. That stuff is vile.

[@flutterbee1401]

cocaine, meth, alcohol, and cigarettes were my drugs of choice. Quit cocaine and meth 24 years ago and quit cigarettes 13 1/2 months ago but I still struggle with giving up the alcohol. I quit alcohol once for 2 years and again for 9 months but for the last year been drinking pretty regularly. Tried AA but it's not for me although I definitely believe in God.

[@flutterbee1401]

Thank you for making your videos, very helpful.

[@EricBZink]

Love it way to go!!!

[@EricBZink]

We got this one day at a time and we get sober our way and it’s trial and error

[@emilykendall2978]

Flutter Bee i am in the same boat as you. I was able to put down the drugs fairly simple- probably because I knew that I could drink. I’m trying to be able to be 100% sober, but that alcohol I just can’t get rid of.

[@flutterbee1401]

@@emilykendall2978 Thank you for sharing your struggle with me, it helps knowing I'm not alone. Pray we both beat this.
