Cocaine addiction poem

[Geoffke]

Been battling this addicton since I got injured (nerve paralysed).
Bodybuilding was my life so it's really hard to stay on the right track.
Anyway I'm trying to quit now but her is a poem, for those who
think about trying the stuff sometime. DON'T DO IT!


Meet Mr. and Mrs. Coke

I destroy homes – I tear families apart.

I take your children and that’s just a start.

I’m more valued than diamonds, more precious than gold.

The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember, I’m easily found.

I live all around you, in school and in town.

I live with the rich, I live with the poor.

I live just down the street and maybe next door.

I have many names. But there’s one you’ll know best.

I’m sure you’ve heard of me, my name is Mr Coke from the West

My power is awesome, try me, you’ll see.

But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go.

But if you try me twice, then I’ll own your soul.

When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie.

You’ll do what you have to do, just to get high.

The crimes you commit for my narcotic charms,

Will be worth the pleasures you feel in my arms.

You’ll lie to your mother; you’ll steal from your dad.

When you see their tears, you must feel sad.

Just forget your morals and how you were raised.

I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways.

I take kids from their parents; I take parents from their kids.

I turn people from God, I separate friends.

I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride.

I’ll be with you always, right by your side.

You’ll give up everything, your family, your home.

Your money, your true friend, then you’ll be alone.

I’ll take and take till you have no more to give.

When I finish with you, you’ll be lucky to live.

If you try me, be warned, this is not a game.

If I’m given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.

I’ll ravage your body; I’ll control your mind.

I’ll own you completely; your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I’ll give you when you’re lying in bed,

And the voices you’ll hear from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, and the visions from me.

I want you to know these things are gifts from me.

But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart

That you are now mine and we shall not part.

You’ll regret that you tried me (they always do).

But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen.

Many times you’ve been told.

But you challenged my power,

You chose to be bold.

You could have said no and then walked away.

If you could live that day over now, what would you say?

My power is awesome, as I told you before.

I can take your life and make it so dim and sore.

I’ll be your master and you’ll be my slave.

I’ll even go with you when you go to your grave.

Now that you’ve met me, what will you do?

Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.

I can show you more misery than words can tell.

Come take my hand, let me lead you to Hell

Man i've gone through the same situation and i hear ya. Its horrible, my brothers both went to rehab and i was stupid enough to try it and thought i had it under control until it got out of hand. All nighters and all that shit. It was horrible. I have not done it for about six months, but i've gone for this long before and it only takes one night to fuck up.

A friend once told me and addiction is like a burning smoke. You smoke half and you put it out, then if you light it again it will start burning from where you last put it out. So the addiction when stopped would be that hafl smoke and if you start again it will start from half, aka you'll go back to where you were in one night. Its hard to explain but hopefully you get it.

Motivation is probably the best thing to help you quit. Let it be the gym, a special someone, or some goal you're trying to reach. Man go to groups and stuff, start doing stuff for yourself, you need to value yourself more.

Best of luck man and i loved your poem, really touched me. being in a family that has been torn apart because of that and seeing close ones change so much because of it is the worst thing thats happened to me.

It's hard to quit addictions bro. I never got too wrapped up in Coke but definately did my share of it. My addiction was alcohol. Every time I drank something bad came out of it. I remember telling myself after every bad incident that I was never going to do it again and everytime ended up right back where I was the week before. I lost freinds and loved ones over it and could never find it inside myself to quit. About a year ago I found out that I was having a little boy and it was only then that I found my inner strength to give it up. It's amazing to me that I could never do it for myself but it took doing it for someone else to finally clean my act up. I'm really glad you're overcoming it though. Life really is great when you're sober, you can actually remember it and enjoy it.

The answer is simple just don't associate with people who do coke or sell coke and choose 100% in your mind to quit, take up some other task that requires hard physical dedication, ie competitive BBing, PLing or fighting.

ADDICTION IS FOR THE WEAK!

I speak from the experience of injecting $800-$1400 coke and heroin (mostly coke) a week and being a meth addict and chronic alcoholic for many years before that, I also used to smoke 50 smokes a day and abuse every other drug under the sun.

I've had one 8 week relapse in 3 years. I've finally come to the realisation that non-performance enhancing drugs are for losers. Waste of time and money, get over them.

i'm sorry but you are completetly wrong and should be careful to spread such ignorance. addiction has nothing to do with being weak. is cancer for the weak? how about heart disease? should someone just suck it up and be strong willed and their heart attack will go away?
drug addiction and alcholism are recognized by the ama as diseases. to tell someone to get ovr using drugs is like telling someone taking chemo to get over it. and i am sorry, but if you were really usin and drinking that much, and have really quit completely on your own, you will proably use again. i know this will piss you off, but it is very likely.

if you think will power works, try it out next time you have a bad case of diarehha. just tell yourself, i'm gonna hold it. addiction does not descrimainate, rich or poor, stupid or smart, black or white, strong or weak. i hope you do not take offense but you are being irresponsible with your advice.
