It is possible but it is very hard...The power of the mind is very strong..it's all mind games....most can't do it alone since they need Simone else for guidance..but it starts with you...find the motivation believe in yourself and know that in "reality" you don't "need" the drug..it's possible but very hard..that's a heavy drug...find peace with yourself and your emotions since that's where the problem is most of the time with in yourself..your emotions and thoughts make up your reality..so be in control of yourself and your surroundings..and when you feel like giving up take a look at nature and recognize the beauty of life and see the beauty you hold inside..find peace and motivation..have faith.always.

In a short answer, No. Addiction is such a cunning and baffling enemy that it is rarely defeated by self driven actions. I am sure there are a minuscule number of cases in which a person stopped using, but that didn't mean they broke their addiction. I have seen people over and over try to use their own means to break addiction, and the result was nil. They always tipped over and used again. In my humble opinion please do the following: Go to a reputable treatment center for at least 90 days(or 30 with a three month Half-way Program), Call your local N/A group(Narcotics Anonymous) and go to a meeting, Get a Sponsor to work the 12 Steps of the NA program, WORK the 12 Steps of the NA program, Find a Higher Power that works for you, Fix what ever is giving you your spiritual malady, and Help others to remain Clean. Be easy on Yourself and Others. Have a bit of willingness. Be Honest with yourself and others. Keep an Open Mind to the process and let it work.

Yes, but very rare. Most times a person replaces the addiction with another one. Givee up Coke, take up smoking, Find a healthy addiction, like exercise.

..Anything is possible, but this is not only unlikely, but it can also be dangerous..Of course it also depends how long one has been using and what issues they have accumulated before and during this time as it can be very overwhelming to face a reality one has not experienced sober in quite some time..It can be, for many people, a very traumatic time, and support is so important during this time, to say nothing of the physical withdrawal that can be life threatening because of the stress we have put on our hearts and brains alone..I would, and still do, suggest to anyone wanting to stop drugs or alcohol, they really think about going into a rehab for an extended amount of time, if for no other reason then to be physically monitored..Now, the other side of this is, if one has the support of at least one friend, and preferably one who has already been through this and who can and will remain with the person until at least the worst is over, and they also have close contact with either a nurse or a doctor, and they are nearby or within minutes of a hospital, and that one especially and also realizes and knows what could happen and takes the necessary precautions, then they may be able to come through this without a detox or rehab assistance..A cocaine addiction is very dangerous in so many ways, both using and quitting, so one should always value their life enough to take any and all the positive healthy steps and precautions that would assist them in achieving their sobriety..With absolutely no intervention I personally believe, and have also seen for myself, that ones recovery would be/is, highly unlikely, but nothing is impossible either and much careful thought is definitely required during this time...It is always positive and uplifting when we have someone who has already come through this, knows all the facts concerning this, and has been clean for awhile, 2 years at least, supporting us...Take much care...
