I NEEDED HELP WITH ADDICTION
I am a recovering addict. The biggest problem was not knowing how to get
treatment and access to a qualified counsellor.
Following a suicide attempt, I eventually gained access to an excellent
counsellor who understood the insanity and brain damage caused by years of
usage and who found proper medication to balance me as I came off.
It's the 18 months of psychosis that could drive a person back to using
cocaine. Getting the right medication and counsellor was a godsend. I'm
staying clean. Support treatment and abstinence.
