Looking for advice

Hey new to this forum I've been using drugs for over 10 years now and I'm 27. I started with just weed but around 7 years ago I got into cocaine. I need it everyday now I will spend all my money on it and all my time, besides work, trying to figure how to get my fix I have a fiancée and a house and my bill are starting to pile up. I tried to stop many times but it always only last a day or 2. How can I stop and go back to life the way it was. I still smoke weed everyday too and I find it makes me want to do cocaine more when the buzz where's off where do I start anyone?

Hi sweetie my name is kristie, I'm new on this site so bare with me...I can tell you what I did to get off!!! Maybe it will help you. I also started smokeing pot at a early age! I had a family even went to church every Sunday...anyway I didn't start using till late in life...but I also was doing coke for about 3 years but I worked every day missed one day in those 3 years it had nothing to do with drugs. Anyway got to thinking one night while I was high if I had every penny I spent on coke I could pay a new car!!! So I talked it over with my boyfriend at the time and he agreed with me. So every time we felt like buying a bag we would put the money we would have spent on drugs in a jar! Put it this way by Christmas we had a couple thousands dollars...we put the money on fixing up the house.it felt good to pay cash for stuff...hope you enjoyed my true story... Good luck
