Using cocaine for 5yrs+ I can stop when I'm away and don't have withdrawal or anything but will get coke as soon as im back home. Want help I've suffered with depression and was on antidepressants but took myself off them as it was enabling me more. I know I need counselling and help but I'm afraid to as I don't want to get people involved for fear of my child

    Hi Kara - You've decided that you want help - and I understand your fears about your child - but all the professionals I know who work in the field will do everything to support you as a mother. You could contact the Club Drugs Clinic in Earls Court - you can email them or phone them in confidence, they deal with cocaine issues; or talk to your GP. You know you can go without cocaine when you're away, that's a big jump start. Good luck going forward.
