I think one of the hardest drugs to stop using is crack cocaine. This is because it is so addicting. In my option it is by far the worst drug ever to be invented. It has ruined countless lives and is tearing people out of their frames right now as I am writing this post. One thing to keep in mind that crack is hard to beat because of the psychological cravings one gets when they stop smoking crack. It has been know to continue for years but for the most part it will lesson as time goes by if the crack addict can refrain from using during this period.
Crack cocaine addiction
If you want to learn how to beat crack cocaine addiction I would suggest that you look for a rehab that specializes in crack addiction there you will learn how to beat crack addiction and how to stop smoking crack cocaine. They are literally everywhere and one should have little problem doing everything over the internet. Once you have located the place you desire to stop using crack I would suggest that you give them a call and make an appointment to enter treatment. This is the beginning of a brand new way of life so don’t take it lightly.
When you get out of treatment you will have to have a complete lifestyle change; for instance, all your using friends will have to go and you will want to keep busy if you want to stop cocaine addiction because when we are not the urges start coming. I would attend as many NA meetings as I could there you can meet others with the same kind of problems as you have.
Making new friends that do not use drugs is one of the main elements for the successful recovering addict.We can overcome our drug addiction and find a new way to live that tired old lie once a addict always an addict no longer works. We Do get clean.
How to find freedom from Crack Cocaine Addiction
Substance abuse, particularly crack addiction, is dangerous and requires immediate treatment. The very definition of addiction is the loss of control over a craving. With cocaine, this can become lethal. The problem is compounded by the fact that though it is illegal, it is widely accessible to almost anyone who wants it.
Crack addiction is a big issue in urban areas. He supply is plenty and the price is cheap – two things that make it popular among those looking for a quick hit. Those who have developed a dependence on this substance often resort to violence and manipulation in order to satisfy their need for more. Their behavior has a negative impact to those around them whether in school, at the office, or at home.
Highly respected medical organizations have long considered drug addiction as an illness. Users who do not get the proper treatments are likely to die due to overdose or poor health. Crack cocaine addiction can induce heart attacks by causing sudden increase in blood pressure.
Such is its potency that all it takes is just one moment of weakness – one try – to be addicted to crack cocaine. Once a person crosses this point, it is extremely difficult to go back to the way he was before. It will be as if the mind is possessed by an insatiable need to experience it again and again, each time wanting more until the body is no longer able to handle it.
This is because their mind no longer thinks in a rational manner, it is rare for drug addicts to stop on their own. Others around them must be strong enough to intervene before it is too late. Oftentimes, it takes a cathartic experience for anything to change, such as getting arrested due to a drug-related crime. The court may send the person to a rehabilitation center or, if he is a repeat offender, be sentenced to serve in jail.
I have personally seen crack cocaine destroy a whole lot of lives get some crack addiction help before it destroys your too!
Good luck

Iand seking information on how to help some one to beat crack cocaine addiction.this person have no insurance or ss#. please can you help?
Hi Johnny I can not give you the name of a specific place you will have to put in some work to find a free drug rehab but they are out there to be had if you do the footwork which can be done over the phone or internet. I would suggest that you call every rehab near you and ask them if they have any Government funding and if they do not ask them if they may happen to know of a place you can go to rehab for free.
Here is a link to another one of my posts about free drug rehabs. Check it out and good luck it may take a whole lot of work but like I said if you do the work and really want to stop using you will find one.
Good luck

Hi there Mark
You hit the nail on the head drugs will rob us of every thing we ever cared about. I am glad you made the decision to stop smoking crack I have several friends that died from smoking crack. I have even been in rehab with a couple that got out hit the pipe and there heart could not take and they are just another statistic.
I just have to say this to you because you say you are alone this is because you choose to be alone ; furthermore, you can not beat drug addiction alone we all need help this is just my thoughts, due to my experience with addiction and seeing people fail miserably when they try to stop alone.
I am pretty sure you have heard of NA by now anyway there are people there that can help you and understand exactly what your going through.
With the help of God and NA I have been drug free for many years now and NA is still saving my life. God gave us free will so if you want to keep being miserable keep doing the same things you have been doing but if you have had enough pain and really want to get clean try something different cause it seems your way is not working so well.
Good luck
Hi, my name is Shemone. Today I am totally convinced that crack has me under her spell. She wants to make my life miserable and/or kill me. I’m tired of taking from my kids, living with other people because I smoke up damn near every dime that falls into my hands. I had a beautiful life ahead of me and one stupid night of curiosity turned into 12 yrs of depression, homelessness, suicidal thoughts,etc. It’s
Hi Shemone thanks for sharing
I am glad you realize that its time to stop smoking crack. You just took the first step which is admitting you have a problem. The next step is getting help because it has been my experience that we can not beat this addiction alone. I would suggest getting into rehab and if you can not do this I would start attending NA meetings.
I have been through a lot of the same things I tried to smoke and shoot up everything I could lay my hands on and did not matter who’s feelings got hurt in the process but there is “hope that you can recover from addiction” if you are willing to take action and do the footwork to make it happen.
I have been drug free for a lot of years now and I still attend meetings.
Good luck
Thank you so much for the word of advice. I have been through treatment twice before but at that time I wasn’t ready to quit. I was forced both times or I would loose my children. Of course I did it to satisfy others but I hadn’t hit ROCK BOTTOM. Last night I fell face first and slid on both knees. It won’t be easy but I hope I can keep contacting others out there who are and have when through the samething and wll give me more sthrength
