Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout that… that… brick of coke thing. It ain’t nothin’ good, I tell ya. It’s a devil, a real devil, that gets its claws into folks and don’t let go easy.
What is this “brick of coke” anyway?
Folks call it coke, some call it blow, some call it other fancy names. But it’s all the same bad stuff. It’s a white powder, looks kinda like flour or somethin’, but don’t you go puttin’ it in your biscuits, no sir! It makes folks act crazy, do things they wouldn’t normally do. It messes with their heads somethin’ awful.
- Makes ’em jittery and nervous, like a cat on a hot tin roof.
- Keeps ’em up all night, eyes wide open, starin’ at the ceiling.
- They don’t eat right, get skinny and weak.
- And the worst part? They start lyin’ and stealin’, just to get more of that devil powder.
How do you know if someone’s hooked on that brick of coke?
It ain’t always easy to tell, but there are signs, if you know what to look for. They start acting different, you know? Not themselves. Maybe they used to be happy-go-lucky, and now they’re always grumpy and mean. Or maybe they were always careful with their money, and now they’re always broke.
What to do if someone you care about is messed up with coke?
Now, this is the hard part. You can’t just yell at ’em or tell ’em to stop. It ain’t that simple. That devil powder has got a hold on ’em, and it’s strong. You gotta be patient, and you gotta be understanding. And most importantly, you gotta get ’em some help.
There are folks out there, doctors and such, who know how to deal with this kinda thing. They call it “treatment” or “recovery”. It ain’t a quick fix, mind you. It takes time and effort, but it can be done. People can get better, they can get that devil off their back.
Where to find help for this cocaine addiction?
There’s places, groups of people, all messed up in the same way, gettin’ together and helpin’ each other out. They talk about their problems, share their stories, and give each other strength. It’s like… like a family, sort of, but a family brought together by that devil powder and the fight to get rid of it. They call ’em “support groups” or somethin’. Some are AA, some are NA, some are other things. Don’t matter much what letters they use, what matters is they’re there for each other, helpin’ each other get clean and stay clean.
And there are doctors, too, regular doctors and special doctors who know all about addiction. They can give medicine to help with the cravings and the sickness that comes when you try to stop usin’ that stuff. They call it “detox” or something fancy like that. It’s tough, real tough, but it’s a necessary step in gettin’ better. And then there’s “therapy” where you talk to someone about your problems and how you got hooked on coke in the first place. It helps you understand yourself better and learn how to cope without that devil powder.
Remember, recovery is possible. It ain’t easy, but it can be done.
If you are worried about yourself, or someone you love, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Talk to someone, anyone. A friend, a family member, a preacher, a doctor. There’s no shame in admitting you need help. The shame is in letting that devil powder ruin your life, or the life of someone you love. There are treatments and they work, but you got to get the help first. It ain’t easy, but gettin’ off that coke is the best thing you can do, for yourself and for everyone who cares about you. You gotta fight for your life, and sometimes, you gotta let other folks help you fight.
Don’t let that brick of coke win. You’re stronger than you think. You can beat this thing.
