Emergency Beauty Tips after a crack binge

[Suicide_Bomber_Barbie]

I went on a 2 or 3 day crack binge after spending a month eating healthy, exercising and and staying busy doing positive things.  It is 5:22 am and I have to go out of town with my parents at 8 am to visit my brother and his family (a day trip).  It is very important to me to look my best today and hopefully hide the 48 hour marathon that I am just now putting the kibosh on.  Any suggestions????

I am going to take a long hot bath with Epsom salts, and tea tree oil.  I have already started drinking hot honey vanilla chamomile tea.  I have some leftover Vietnamese spring rolls I'm going to eat and then start with the juice , fruit and vitamins.

Ditto to the above replies.  Beauty should be your very last priority.  You're flirting with death and disaster doing what you're doing.  We can certainly help and support you, but we're not going to help you pretty yourself up after a crack binge so you can hide your problem from your family.  That would be enabling.

Hope you choose to get some help!

I think to hell with your beauty right now. You need to reach out to your family and seek support. You will use behind your secrets and can only truly be set free with the truth. Please focus on your recovery and try to understand why you went on a 2 day binge. Why did you relapse? What can you change in your recovery plan to prevent this in the future? You can do this, you just have to seek support and be honest. What about NA meetings? Counseling? What are you actively doing on a daily basis to ensure that you don't use? Do you even want to quit? I don't mean to sound harsh, I just care and feel like your priorities are way off here. Please put some thought into these questions and remember that nothing changes if nothing changes! We are here for you. Please take care and try to keep your head up.

Putting a band aid on things really isn't good. The best beauty treatment ever is to BE GOOD TO YOURSELF! Drugs take their toll on you and eventually no amount of makeup can cover up the effects. I encourage you to evaluate yourself and your situation and figure out the WHYS  of what you are doing.... I also encourage you to STOP now before it becomes more than a recreational activity.

Sounds like you have the 'beauty' part covered. How about you take some time to digest everything and think about why this binge happened. Did you have the right supports in place (ie aftercare) and cut all access to your drug of choice? Setting up roadblocks is important. Wishing you the best on your trip today, and everyday. Tell us more about your use, there are lots of great people here to listen :)
