Cocaine Addiction: How Long Does It Take to Get Over It?
Question by brittanyb:
How long does it take to get over a cocaine addiction?
I’m watching a movie right now about a cocaine addiction, and I’m curious as to how long it takes for a person who is addicted to cocaine to get over it completely. What happens to a person who stops using? Like what happens to their body?
Thank you for the info so far..

Answer by MorganS:
I never experienced any vomiting or the withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate addiction — my biggest fear was that I had burned out the “pleasure centers” in my brain. FYI, I was heavily addicted to cocaine for 5+ years — now drug-free for the same amount of time. I guess everyone is different, but I “got over” my addiction when I finally accepted and realized how much I was screwing up my life. Once I really accepted that, and took responsibility for it, I associated so much emotional pain and discomfort to using cocaine that I stopped and never looked back.

Cocaine Addiction: End Your Cocaine Addiction
www.encognitive.com Prokopton wrote You cannot “think” or “group support” your way out of addiction because physiology is a strong component of substance and behavioral addiction. A holistic approach works best when all the components of addiction are addressed: emotional, mental, physiological and spiritual. This video will only discuss the physiological cause of cocaine addiction. So, if you’ve tried methadone, gone to support groups and they didn’t help, try the physiological approach.
