I am sorry to hear about your sister. It sounds like she is not ready to quit and that makes it hard to help an addict. My drug of choice is cocaine too, but now clean from it. I chose coke before everything in active use, it's a tough drug to stay clean from, but there is help out there is she wants it. Have you ever thought of an intervention for her? Her kids do not deserve to be around this crap, it's not fair to them at all! Drinking booze is one of the biggest triggers for coke too. I hope she gets the help she needs.

o i have tried,even tonight she couldnt feed her kids i told her well stop sticking that **** up your nose and maybe you will have money to feed them,do you know what her answer was? well i havent paid for it yet,well thats ok then to her she is a state who dont deserve those kids.She really angers me she is going to have those kids taken off her,it is bad and i know what i should do but i dont want those kids seperated and put into care and i just havent got the room in my house for the 4 of them,she wont go for help herself because she really believes she hasnt got a problem,she just thinks that as long as she is telling us she is taking it then that is fine.
