Cocaine addiction

Hi just new to this I am 24 year old male with a heavy cocaine abuser I also addicted to Valium also weed. I have seen my doc and am currently but recently for the last 2 weeks I have abused it everyday! I cannot continue this as I will lose an amazing girlfriend and family who has stood by me through the last 5 years off drug addiction. I do love them so much but find myself back to it time after time! Please need advice on cold turkey. Thanks

Taper the Valium, benzo withdrawal ***** ***** *****,  I used to use coke and weed frequently but could quit cold turkey, quitting coke was pretty bad for awhile but benzos do the most damage( that I felt anyways), good luck

What has been working for me with the valium is I cut a pill in half & use a Benadryl instead. Do for a week and cut back again. I'm down to 1/2 pull now from 2. Idk if its a healthy thing to do but its working for me

I was also about 24 when I was using coke (crack) everyday. I spent over $100g when I realized I was loosing my family & my money was gone. Always tracking the dragon! Well, I stopped cold turkey. There are no physical withdrawals just emotional. Now it wasn't easy but I erased my dealers numbers and stayed away from my so called friends. Trust me if I can do it, anyone can! As for your valuim. You will need to slowly withdraw. I've also been on adivan 20 years now to sleep. Lost my bottle & after no sleep for 3 nights. I was in the ER. Good luck buddy. Remember you must do it for your family!

Well the coke and weed you can quit cold turkey,but I'd deff taper the Valium. You can have seizures stopping c/t. The coke w/d's don't last real long. Weed I don't know? Never did enough to be addicted. What did your doc say when you asked for help?
