what is the best way for me to refrain from sniffing cocaine Hi, If you would like to try and reduce or stop your cocaine use, there are number of things you can do. Firstly, you could look at your local agencies, Addiction Dependency Solutions (ADS) are widespread especially in the north west of Britain. You could also do an internet search for your local treatment service. If you ring Frank on 0800 776600 they can tell you what your local treatment agency is. Other things to consider could be think of the benefits of using cocaine and then think of what the disadvantages are such as health, relationships, potential criminal record, employment and money. It may be that you tend to use cocaine on certain days or with certain people and whilst your trying to stop it may be worth changing your routine. If you would like any more information please contact drinking with charlie again. We can also offer a personal reply. Hope this was helpful.
