I was curious if/how Nigerians had access to drugs like crack cocaine. What is more rampant here is addiction to locally made drugs like cannabis and hemp.

So how were you able to fund your addiction?

Really?

Crack cocaine that boys on my street, ojodu berger take like cigar like 10 years ago?

Lol

Crack cocaine has been very much and readily available for years now in every nook and cranny in Nigeria. In fact crack cocaine and crystal meth aka meth are destroying our youths these days.
Around 2012 it was available at a chemist in my LGA capital.
I was shocked when my acquaintance got it, in my mind then cocaine was a Colombia, Mexico and US shit and not in Nigeria.

Crack addiction is the worst addiction one can ever be a slave to.
There is no amount of money that can sustain that. A crack addict can squander Elon Musk's wealth_it will take time, but it will certainly finish.
Take a look at some black communities in America, come to Accra and see how crack (the very local one) is ruining and tearing guys apart.

By your statement, I can tell you have never been to America and ALL the information you have digested about America comes from movies and what you see on social media. Crack/Cocaine/prescription pills have done more damage in white communities and populations than it has in black communities. If you go to rural America, I am talking about the backwoods of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, south and north Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, where we have real rednecks and hillbillies, you will see the damage that crack has done to those communities. The only reason you might think blacks are more affected is because blacks live in cities and it's easier to see what's going on in the cities. Most people do not go to the backwoods of America I earlier mentioned, especially if you are not from there. That's a side of America they don't show you. There are communities there that are inbreds. Fathers sleeping with daughters, cousins marrying each other, siblings having kids together etc. Educate yourself.

Lol any drugs you can think of is available in Nigeria. It's all in the black market.


About funding my addiction, it was a crazy one. I did everything doable to get funds to purchase. It's so expensive. My normal IT job, petty hard jobs, couple of crimes lol. It was a crazy experience.

What is the worst or most painful thing crack has made you done in your life..

Well, You might not want to celebrate, Because there's no stopping it.. In my situation was crack and heroine. I was rich enough to fund my addiction, but heroine is so powerful, if you don't use it, you can't function. My advice, change location. Get married if u can afford it. Do something that gives you a sense of responsibility. Take it in reduced doses and gradually wean yourself. You don't wake up one day and stop crack. And quit committing crime. Cocaine is for the rich. And while you are it, please check your heart, liver and kidney.

Drug addiction is worse of all addiction.

I had 2 friends who are addicts.
The day I visited his home, that was when I knew the financial implications.
I saw this tiny pill, dude said it cost 5k and takes upto 3 in a day... In fact there was another that cost 15k, it was inside a tiny container.

Someone that earns 500k+ plus monthly, was looking like a street tout.

Drug is killer.

The other one when he visited me, the first night this guy ate food I normally consume for weeks in just a night.
He was restless and always eating every 30 minutes.

Have you gone for a test to check if you have ADHD? If you do, getting on ADHD medication will help suppress the cravings.

Hello nairalanders

I'm going to share my personal sincere experience from being a very bright sober university student with good academic performance and multiple talents also love by all around me to becoming a deeply hooked crackhead drug addict with a very scrupulous reputation and nearly deserted by family and friends alike.

It will be quite a lengthy post but I'll always come back to write whenever I'm on my leisure time.

I want to use this post to share my personal life experiences on drugs addiction and recovery. This is intended as a means of educating and enlightening individuals and families about drug addiction, how to go about it when they or their family are affected.

First I must emphasize that the negative effects of drug ADDICTION is tremendous and very debilitating.
The level of addiction depends on the longevity of use and type of substance abused.

In my case, my major addiction is on Crack Cocaine (Charlie,CK, Coca, Coco, White Rock)
This is a very addictive and dangerous substance with high potency for addiction. It's also cruelly expensive and the urge/cravings that come with this drug is very strong.
I was previously addicted to Opiates (Tramadol) and had several seizures from overdose but quilt a few years ago only to find myself fallen deep into crack Cocaine, which is seemingly worse.

This is my 4-5th year of addiction. Though I've made up my mind to quite and it's barely a few days since I quit. I'll be posting my progress here.

Stay active here from time to time.

I'll first be writing about my personal experiences with crack Cocaine use then move to the side and effects, the cravings and heinious crimes I committed just to get money to buy this substance Crack. It almost turned my life over.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AFTER USE
Instant euphoria, increased confidence and raised energy, alertness is heightened, become talkative, extremely raised euphoria, increased libido

Negative effects
Dilated pupils, constant cravings, extremely high heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle spasms, vibrating body, restlessness, insomnia, constant fear of the unknown, profuse sweating, worst of it all is the cravings.
It made me sell of all my properties and loose all my personal relationship and assets, my job, everything. Including selling other people's properties just to fund the crack Cocaine cravings hobby. I nearly got suicidal at some point. Early signs of schizophrenia we're experienced. In fact people started seeing me as crazy. Thank goodness I am now on the train of recovery.

Ignore my typographical errors

I'll write more later... In a few hours.

I'll talk about my triggers my urge for taking crack. This usually applies to every other crack addict out there.

You can comment to share your thoughts and contributions on this thread if you have any.
Encouragements and questions are welcomed.

Off topic; I heard someone say a bunch of uneducated people made the decision to elect Trump. Was most of Trump's vote gotten from there or it was spread across? What's their population like?

Hello Guys

I've been very much occupied with several tasks so I haven't been able to write here for a while.

Well I'm back

It's well up to three weeks since I've abstained from Crack. I must say in this Short while, my life is changing greatly though at a steady slow pace. Here are a few things about my behavioral changes since I quit crack cocaine.

- I'm now meeting up with my work responsibilities.
- I'm now neater and more hygienic. I make sure the few clothes I have I keep them all fully neat and tidied at all times. My environment, my room, my kitchen everything always well arranged at neat. These are things I cared less about and left unkept while I was taking crack.
- I am now focused on living a better life. Starting to have savings even though I'm not yet earning much.
- Decreased independence on people.
- I can now spend more time on myself sitting alone in my room or an isolated place. Before I was always moved to keep moving around.
- I have developed interest in returning back to my educational pursuits though I haven't started.
- My mental health is greatly improved. I no longer forget so much and I can now make vital decisions correctly.
- Couldn't stay in a relationship previous and all my friends deserted me. Only family had my back.
- Working hard to pay off my debt and improve myself. No longer focused on working to buy more crack cocaine to smoke.


The urge still comes in from to time but I do my possible best to get it off my mind. I can watch a movie, go out to chat with friends, take sleep meds or eat when I get the urge.

I'll write more on the challenges I faced in my past days of crack addiction later.
I have to attend to my work.

The first step is detoxification, which is the most difficult. It will be beneficial if you can learn organic farming and keep gardening close to your home. You tend to your garden and feed the birds in the early mornings and evenings. It will keep you active. It will serve as a boost to start your day before returning to your computer job, followed by another break or the end of work in the evening.

Then, you must be on guard to avoid losing focus following this victory. When you are down, the desire to return will persist. Hey! Stay away from your old friends who are involved. Do not attempt to save anyone ooo. Thinking that you can help someone like you are helped is a lie. Stay away from them. If someone asks you how you do it, simply point them to the source that assisted you and leave quickly. Do not the person again, and tell them not to you again. Instead, face the treatment squarely. If you try to save anyone, you will be back doing it again. Run away from them all. Run away from the environment. Please, this is important. Even after 2 years or more than you are off it, run away. That is a weak point for you, and you should not attempt to face it. Just Run away. Run Run run. This way, you will be so solidly built that one day, when you least expect it, you will face it and realize you have overcome it. Till then, keep running away from a thing relating to it. This is the key to leaving it aside from detoxification. Detoxification only restores your mind; you are still not completely free. So, you must keep Running away from it and it's appearance. If you notice your mind wandering, run to a location where you know someone can keep a close eye on you and hold you back. Run Run run is the next thing you must keep doing. You have to keep running. If for 10 years you need to run, keep running away. Keep running away. This is the only way out. One day, you will just see that you are free. Till then, keep running. Even it's 20 years....keep running away.

God will perfect your healing in Jesus' name. Amen!
