“Get out! Now!” These were the last hateful words that I heard from my aunt while she forced her cocaine addict husband away from their house. She could no longer take the irresponsibility of her husband. She was already tired of the misery brought about by his enslavement on the stimulant.

They were once living harmoniously. Aunt “Susie” was a plain housewife, just tending their home, taking care of their three kids. Her husband was into the buying and selling junk business, but then later their capital run off and the business suffered bankruptcy. What my aunt did not know was that her husband was cracking on something. It was cocaine, introduced by a friend. He tried it and the next thing he knows, it was eating at his brain and he was dying to get his next hit. The tracks of needle pricks were very evident on the underside of his arm.

At first she was just thinking that it could just be one of those necessary medicines but then his moods were moving to and fro and the decrease in his weight was apparent. As the next few days progressed their finances were in chaos, and the more irritable he became and worse yet there’s nothing left in their savings account. Auntie had given him so many chances but then he resorted to pawning all their items so he could support his addiction. Their bickering became the usual anthem every morning. Until the day that auntie could no longer take it so she sent him away. Their children were suffering from ridicule from other kids in school. Because of what happened, the kids’ lives were a nightmare, streaked with hatred and now they are shattered and lost.

Days passed by after the incident, we heard that he is now behind the bars. He tried to snatch a ladies bag down the street. When asked, he stated that there was somebody who whispered and told him to do so. Now that he is in jail, he looks as miserable as ever as if the rewarding life had escaped from him. His jaw has dropped; his eyes were sunken. He looked as if something cold is torturing him when actually the heat of the sun was scorching outside.

So if you are a family man, if you are somebody whom you’re family depends on, before you take in your first hit, think about these questions.

Do you want to trust your fate under the control of authorities in jail or do you want to spend time behind the walls of the rehabilitation center trying to dry out? Do you want this same scenario to break your home into pieces? Do you want the foundation of love and respect that you have build up for so long to tumble down and just fade away? Do you want to contribute to the worsening dilemma of society? Do you want your children to grow up with the trauma and tremor of being parentless?

Now, think again! Don’t let this be your story.  To find out more about cocaine relief see “Cocaine Addict – The Person“
