Is there a way for your kids to stay with dad while you go to rehab? I have no idea what it’s like to be addicted to cocaine but I can’t imagine it being easy. The sooner you get things under control the easier it will be for y’all in the future.

Go to a methadone clinic I’m a nurse from one we’re not in the business of taking your kids but ensuring your health and safety and theirs as long as you don’t have anything alarming to report it shouldn’t be an issue we have single moms and they still have their kids

Can you please reach out to me? A lot of clinics are helpful, however the relapse rate is still high. However my father in law who works for a home through the church that rehabs drug and alcohol addiction have found amazing success by means of a relationship with Jesus Christ and a significant higher success rate in maintaining sobriety because Jesus can give you a new heart and a new life. He will forgive you and offer you a place at His table. No judgement from me sister. I’ve been healed of many things and my own types of addictions. I want to help show you a better way. I’m also a registered nurse and I admire your love for your kids to want to get clean. If you don’t believe, I understand… but perhaps hear me out. Send me a message.

I don’t have advice to give but I admire your courage to want to enter sobriety🫶🏼. My grandmother did every drug under the sun for 20+ yrs, she’s been sober 26 yrs now. I hope something works out and your babies stay with u along the way. Plz don’t give up hope on bettering yourself. You can do it! Sobriety is reclaiming your identity! Sobriety gives you freedom! I’ll be praying for u friend❤️

As a recovering addict myself, feel free to reach out to me. I went to several detoxes and one rehab. After rehab I had 20 months of recovery before relapsing. I’m now at 18 months clean from weed but other substances it’s been over 2 years. I found that going to narcotics anonymous, being honest with my doctor and seek out individual therapy has been a life saver. I don’t know if anyone else has said this but I’m proud of you. Proud of acknowledging your addiction and wanting to seek support despite any fears that are surfacing. Be proud of yourself for taking the first step! I am here for you if you ever need someone to talk to

As a child of two coke addicts I just want to first applaud you for actually trying to get help and doing the right thing for you and your children! I’m no contact with both of my bio parents because they put coke over their children I would recommend reaching out to a close friend or family member (preferably one who knows about your addiction but if you kept it under the hush in Hush that’s perfectly valid) ask if they’re willing and able to help keep them for a while as you take these first steps into recovery or see if you can make an arrangement with dad

Are you in the UK? I work with women in prison, a lot of them have addictions so I’m familiar with the services available. Cranstoun are brilliant, they offer a 1-1 service either in person or over the phone to check in weekly and give advice/goals. They will look at the protective factors for the children such as other family members, no drugs in the house, you’re sober when they are in your care etc. They will only get the social involved if you are putting the children in danger. It’s worth looking at the services in your area, you can usually self-refer or ask your GP. If you need any help with forms etc just drop me a message. Good luck, you can do it, stay strong and don’t be too hard on yourself ♥️

Rehab and don't pick it back up.

Maybe self refer to human kind?

I’m just a stranger on the internet but I’m really proud of you. I know how much of a struggle it is to get out of something you feel so deep in but you’re worth so so much more than that. You’re a great mum and I wish you nothing but the best x
