Treatment help for a crack addict in addiction is typically based on the disease concept. Not being able to stop smoking crack cocaine is not a disease and nowhere is there any data to support that.

 My Name is Crack

I destroy homes....... I tear families apart.

I take your children......and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold.

The sorrow I bring, is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember, I'm easily found...

I live all around you...in schools and in town.

I live with the rich...I live with the poor...

I live down the street...maybe even next door!

I am made in such ways...you can shoot me or smoke...

I used to be called "cocaine...or coke"

The sound that I make, when you're inhaling my stench...

Is how my name "Crack" came to be...(perfect sense)

My power is awesome; try me, you'll see...

But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once, and I may let you go...

But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

When "I" possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.

You'll do what you have to, just to get "high".

The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms...

Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms, lungs and nose.

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.....

When you see their tears, ...you should feel sad.

But you will forget your morals...and how you were raised.....

I'll be your "conscience"...I'll teach you "my ways".

I'll take kids from parents, and parents from kids.

I turn people from "GOD".....and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, ...your looks and your pride.

I'll be with you ALWAYS.......right by your side.

You'll give up everything...your family, your home....

your friends,.... your money....then you'll be all alone.

I'll take & take, till you have nothing more to give...

When I'm finished with you....you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me, be warned........this is no "game"...

If given the chance....I'll drive you insane!

I'll ravish your body...I'll control your mind..

I'll own you "completely"....your "soul" will be mine!

The nightmares I'll give you, while lying in bed...

The voices you'll hear.....from inside your head...

The sweats, the shakes...the "visions" you'll see...

I want you to know...these are ALL "gifts from me".

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart..

That you are MINE.....and we shall not part....

You'll regret that you tried me...they always do...

But YOU came to ME...Not "I" to you......

You knew this would happen,...many times you were told...

But you challenged my "power"...and chose to be "bold".

You could have said "no".....and just walked away...

If you could live that day over...now what would you say?

I'll be your "Master".....and you'll be my slave...

I'll even go with you...when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me...what will you do?

Will you try me or not? It's all up to you....

I can bring you more misery than words can tell...

Come take my hand....let me lead you to HELL!

SYMPTOMS OF USING CRACK

We frequently like to go over signs and symptoms of crack cocaine use. We do this to remind you of what to look for.  

Crack is cocaine cooked in baking soda and water to form a chunk like piece and then broken in tooth size pieces and is kind of an off white color. The name crack comes from the sound it makes when lit. Crack came about in the early 1970’s by American dealers by chance. They had placed some cocaine on tin foil and burned it to test its purity. Then they discovered sniffing the vapors was quite an intense high and the birth of freebasing cocaine was born. From being cooked in baking soda and being so small yet so potently devastating to all life allowed for easy transportation, packing and selling of this horrible drug. The simplicity and abundance of crack cocaine lead to extreme use and lots of money for crack-punk dealers.

The first thing to look for is his or her pupils will be huge and glassy.

Then profuse sweating, drastic weight loss, sensitivity to light and sound, very hyper and does not sleep then followed by complete exhaustion, not eating then eating like crazy, sexual dysfunction, extreme sexual fantasy but cannot follow through, dramatic mood changes, extreme self-confidence, anger, depression, paranoid, suicide thinking, unable to hold a job, intense arguing, very chatty, financial and legal problems, not paying bills, no food in the house, not a penny to their name and are very highly skilled at covering up the where’s, the who’s, and the what’s with denial and lies. 

He or she may have burns on their lips or hands from smoking crack and sometimes are unable to control urination and bowel movements possibly from having an allergic reaction to the additives in street drugs, menstrual cycle problems, malnutrition and a ton of others that slip the mind. 

In pregnancy there can be miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, still birth, addicted newborn, deformities and a number of other problems for the baby.

Other risks include: aids, hepatitis and sexual diseases are possible from the practice of un-safe sex for crack.

Ways he or she may buy crack include: stealing, writing bad checks, pawning anything he or she can carry, bringing pop bottles back, pan handling, sexual favors, allowing crack-dealers to use their car, giving rides to other crack-users, selling crack, delivery of crack, trade food stamps for crack, give blood for crack, rob banks and people, spend their welfare on crack, steal others checks and forge names, prostitution, break into cars, receive gifts and return them for the money and lots more the list is too long for this news letter.

The worst jobs for a crack head include: waiting tables, cleaning houses, jobs that require traveling alone, jobs at retail stores, driving cab or any job that deals with handling cash and I am sure more that I am not thinking of.

USER RESPONSIBILITY TO NON-USE

Understand that crack cocaine is the devilscandy

If you want power over crack cocaine you must expose the crack cocaine lies

Be honest with everyone and everything you do

Understand that when your family is nagging crack is attacking them and to answer all nagging with a good attitude

Understand cracks purpose is to kill you and destroy all those who care about you

Commit to at least 6 months of not touching any money for any reason

Commit to not handling money at all for 2 years after the 6 months of not touching money

Except help and understand you can't fight crack cocaine on your own. It takes a team of those willing to follow your program, if they are not willing to participate 100% they can not be apart of your life

Understand when your family hides their money and things of value that it is NOT because of YOU but because they do not trust crack and do not want crack to be allowed to torture you with its tools…

Your job is to protect your family from crack. Crack is very jealous of what you have. It wants your wife/girl, its wants all your money and all of your families money, it wants your TV, it wants your VCR, stereo, CD’s anything of value you own, it wants to destroy those who care about you, their spirit, their self worth, their joy their happiness, it wants to suffocate your kids and future kids and it wants your life!

HELP SOMEONE STOP USING CRACK

Helping the person I love who is addicted and possessed by crack cocaine.

1. I must view the person I love as a human being who wants to stop smoking crack cocaine. Even if they say I do not want to stop, they do.

2. I accept the fact that no one can do anything to make the person I love stop smoking crack cocaine. They must choose what works for them to stop smoking crack-cocaine. If one way does not work for them, I will suggest another way.

3. I will accept all the progress however small and seemingly insignificant it seems to me, as success. When the person I love falls, I will allow them pick to themselves up from where they fell, and understand that they can apply all knowledge and progress they have obtained to continue "Their Program" for living life crack cocaine free.

4. I will have faith in myself and the person I love. The hardest obstacle in front of me is myself. I've heard testimony that living life without crack cocaine is possible. My experiences and the person I love experiences with adverse situations will provide the strength and desire for this new life.
