KEY TAKEAWAYS
Recognizing the need for change: It's important to be aware of signs that indicate a need for change, such as changes in behavior, strained relationships, or negative feelings associated with certain habits or actions.
Listening to feedback: Pay attention to what friends, family, and partners are saying about your behavior. If multiple people are expressing concern or suggesting that you make a change, it's worth considering their perspective.
Taking responsibility: Instead of getting defensive or dismissing concerns, take responsibility for your actions and acknowledge that there may be a problem. This is an important step in initiating change.
Seeking support: Reach out for help and support from organizations like Cocaine Anonymous (CA) or other resources that can provide guidance and assistance in making positive changes.
BEST MOMENTS
"The minute you think, like when is enough enough. The minute you think that, or am I drinking too much or am I doing too much coke, you probably are."
"If you're even questioning, people that don't have a drink and drug problem don't wonder if they have a drink or a drug problem."
"The minute your normal daily routine starts changing. So the minute you might be either late for work or feeling shit in the morning or arguing with your partner or having a partner for no reason. Just silly things, like not having as many showers or not taking the dogs out like you should. The minute you're changing your life, it's not doing what it was meant to."
"If your partner is saying to you, 'Oh man, do you have to go out and you're drinking a little bit too much,' and your response is, 'Fucking hell, just let me enjoy myself. I want to do it,' and your response is a little bit snap backy and you actually can't make that conscious decision to choose not to, you've got to realize that your friends, your partner, and your family, they wouldn't tell you not to do something if it was good for you."
