This is our Purpose
This website has been created for the sole purpose of helping those who have been effected by the horrible drug we call crack cocaine. It is for the addict and the friend or loved one of an addict who is seeking support or answers. All of the content you will find in these pages is a result of my 5 years of crack abuse. Most of the stories here were written during my early recovery. Our goal is to help the addict find liberation from the bondage of crack cocaine. I say "bondage" because crack, unlike every other mind altering substance requires more than just a meeting or support group. The method I used to overcome crack goes far beyond what 12-step programs suggest. I tried the 12-step methods for 5 years and failed. I have created this website as a testimony that crack cocaine addiction CAN be overcome, but it must be done with the understanding that being addicted to crack cocaine is not a disease. If you want to stop using or "conquer" crack, this is a great place to start. If you are simply looking to gain more understanding about what this addiction does to a person, this is a great place to learn.
If you had cancer or loved someone that had cancer, you would do anything within your power to get the help needed to fight it. I would venture to say that you would read everything you could get your hands or "eyes" on and this would become a mission to you. Well, crack addiction is no different. I have included information for the user of crack and the non-user looking for help for someone they care about. I have also began writing a book telling of my experiences during my 5 years of use. This book is a great resource for the non-user who is having a hard time understanding the change that takes place in a person when crack is introduced into their life. If you are a user or someone who loves a user, make it your mission to read, and read more. The knowledge you gain here could just save a life. Use that knowledge to fight crack addiction before it kills. As I said, most of the content contained in this website is more about "my experience" and the changes that took place in my life as a result of breaking free from cracks bondage. If it is strictly information about "what crack is" you are looking for, then I encourage you to visit my other website QuitCrackCocaine as that website is geared more towards the informative side of this addiction. However, if you want to learn what this addiction does to a person and then experience the incredible changes that can occur when a person finally breaks free, please spend some time reading the pages here. You think you know crack?
To say that crack is morally wrong or bad is an understatement. To understand that it is something that brings on sorrow, distress, and calamity is only the beginning of understanding this hideous drug. Crack Cocaine in and of itself is no more than a substance. To a non-user to look at it and hold it is no more exciting than holding a small pebble. However, to the person who has used and become possessed by this seemingly harmless white rock, it is the source of all that is dark and hopeless. The crack-addict will get weak in the knees, his heart will pound, and his stomach will tighten and churn the second he sees it. To a crack-addict, it is not just a white, rock shaped substance, it is food, water, medicine, joy, misery, and life. A life that will ultimately progress into a deep, dark path to evil and loss. Crack cocaine can not be viewed as "just another drug" and crack addiction can not be treated just like "any other addiction.
Crack Recovery Journey
The journey to crack freedom begins with a "choice,” then a “decision.” That choice can be as simple as waking up one day and telling yourself, "I' choose to be crack free instead of continuing to use crack." The hard part is making the decision to follow through with that choice. There is a difference between a “choice” and a “decision.” A choice can be made once and for all, but a decision may need to be made over and over until it becomes absolute. Making a “choice” means that you have chosen one thing over another. Therefore, if you wake up and make the choice to be crack free instead of using crack, you need to follow through by making a decision to honor that choice no matter what. This decision may have to be made every day, every hour, and even every second if that is what it takes. It isn't something that can be decided and forgotten. It takes a commitment for life. Obtaining freedom from crack cocaine is so very hard, yet so simple.
