About Crack Cocaine

Subject: Crack cocaine addiction

Question: Camille

My daughter was living on the street and is addicted to crack cocaine. I picked her up and took her to a women’s detox centre. Her plan is to stay until she can get a spot in rehab. She has been through 3 different rehabs and was clean for 3 months with the last rehab. How long does it take to get detoxed??

Answer: Hello,

It takes about 30 days to completely get it out of her system, though it only takes 3 days to pass a urine test. What happens is her brain blocks all happy feelings unless she uses or can get through the 30 days, in the mean time she has to deal with depression, terrible cravings and all the things she has done to get crack the guilt and shame. Start blaming crack not her. For example… daughter look at all that crack has taken from you. How much more are you going to allow it to take from you? etc… Honey… crack took your check again…

Wow 3 rehabs. Rehab, in my opinion, is a place away from crack but does not set up a users to find complete freedom. I always ask…Why would a rehab want your daughter cured??? I suggest you look in links. The DVC site has a program you should seriously consider and it is a lot cheaper and it works. That’s not to say she should not go to rehab, sometimes it’s better to deal with the side effects of coming off crack in a medical facility.

The best thing you can do for your daughter is learn everything you can about crack cocaine addiction outside of the clinical text book ways of thinking. Join our support groups, listen to the recorded live radio shows. On the DVC site are the crack don’ts…follow them there is also a must do list and that is what it takes to conquer crack.

Hope this helps, I pray your daughter finds her freedom from crack.

Cocaine

Subject: Question on cocaine

Question: I have a question. My friend of 16 yrs has just had like a anxiety attack and she is biopolar. I had taken her to the mental hospital and they ammitted her. They found cocaine in her system. they took a urine test from two different cups. they took two from the first cup. both positive for cocaine and the second cup was negative. She has told me that she has never done it. But she caught her boyfriend doing it. They also took blood two days later and it was in her system. I dont know what to believe. How else could it get in her system if she never has done it. Please I need to know cause she has children, I dont want her to be a danger to her kids. can u please help your point me in a direction for help. thank you

Answer: Hello,

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck!

Now we could give her the benefit of doubt and maybe the boyfriend slipped her some in like a joint or sometimes its put in wine but she would know by the taste of the cocaine shortly after she used it. For it to be in her blood and urine she used a good amount. The anxiety attack could have been from the paranoia that can come from cocaine use especially if its crack. Now a little tid bit from someone who has 9 years experience dealing with crack… her behavior points towards crack use. Also anyone who uses cocaine displays all the behaviors of someone who truly has bi-polar, it is one of the most abused diagnosis out there when dealing with those addicted to cocaine.

Hope this helps,

Camille

Odors

Subject: odors

Question:
what is the odor of someone smoking crack cocaine? nh3, ammonia?

Answer: Hello,

I don’t know the scientific formula but the sweat of someone who smokes crack STINKS! It’s like no other smell, kind of like vomit and sewage mixed. You can smell this stench on their clothes, bedding, pillows, and in their hair. Crackheads seem to be immune to this stench.

Hope this helps,

I am a crack cocaine survivor

I am a crack cocaine survivor.

I lived with a crackhead for three years and survived.

From my faith and hope I married that crackhead.

Today I am still a crack cocaine survivor because I attack crack cocaine with a vengeance. Our family has been crack free going on 9 years now. I have counseled hundreds of addicts and their families with great success. Crack can be conquered! I am living proof and here to help you get crack out of your life for good!

A little about me…

Before I met Todd, (my man who was addicted to crack for 10 years and is now free)

I did not even know what crack was. I thought crack was something in a sidewalk or a plumber’s back side view! I met Todd three days before he was to serve a jail sentence for retail fraud. I remember saying, “What’s a retail fraud charge?” “Stealing”, Todd replied. “I had an addiction to crack cocaine and stole to pay for my crack use”. Todd would also say, “I no longer use but I have to pay for my behavior, so I turned myself in.” It did not end there.

When Todd got out of jail he moved in with me. It was not long after that I learned what crack cocaine was and the hell it causes. I had no one to help me. Todd’s parents were sick and tired of it and told me I had made my bed, now I have to lie in it. Todd stole from everyone including my parents. When he returned something for them, Todd kept the money. I soon became a victim of crack cocaine. There was nowhere to go to obtain some knowledge about what I know now as the truth about crack cocaine. Help seemed elusive. There were times the money was gone and my phones were shut off. I was getting way behind making house payments and there were times I could not get the things my 4 year old daughter needed. Many times I went without. I became the woman waiting the many hours for her love to return. I was the one who had to explain to our daughter why “father” was not home. I was the woman who made the excuses for family and employers. I was the one who believed in Todd when no one else did, including himself. I was the woman who wiped his tears when he realized what he had done. I was the one who looked for any and all options to get out of this horrible place. I was the one who witnessed a miracle and was the one who with Todd had two more beautiful daughters. I am the one who benefits from the man I knew he is. This was the hardest, ugliest, most joyful time of my life. Though it may seem that you or someone you love will never rid themselves from the possession of crack cocaine. This is wrong, it can be done. Follow your hearts desire. Your heart will tell you the truth. Had I listened to my thoughts, I never would have got past the “you’re going to jail in three days” part. I am glad I have a heart.

You can overcome crack cocaine addiction. I will help you.

Sincerely,

Camille Gibson

Casual Use??

Subject: casual use….

Question: Hi Camille,
I have posted about my bf before in the alcoholism section, because he is a drug addict and an alcoholic. I won’t go into the WHOLE story of me and him, but we are right now in a period of no-contact (for me to get some time away from him and work on my own codependency and other issues) and I was looking back on some of the stories he told me over the last year we were together. I was hoping to tell them to you so you could help me separate fact from fiction… or something…. He lives 3 hours away from me so I typically see him only 2-3 days out of the week, very occasionally for 4-5 days at a time, and during those times I have NEVER seen him drunk or, as far as I could tell, high on anything whatsoever. Here goes:

His history is that he has been doing drugs since he was a young teenager, he’s 46 now. He’s done everything but always stayed away from needles because he hates them. He was at one time in his life a homeless crackhead- that’s how bad his addiction was. That was probably… hm, 15 years ago. Then he went to a few facilities, moved away from his hometown, and managed to beat the crack addiction. When I met him a year ago I had a feeling he was an alcohlic but he said the drugs were over… He eventually told me that about two years ago during a rare spell where he had a lot of money, he was haning out with these women and buying drugs for them (crack). They would do it around him, in front of him, and he said during that time he started drinking more and more heavily as a substitute, because he felt he could never come back from crack again and if he did get hooked on that again I’d know it because he would have NO money left for anything, etc. However he said one night with them, he did take one hit, but couldn’t believe he did that, and he left immediately, wanted to kick himself in the a**, couldn’t enjoy it, never did that again. He said he is too old to bounce back from that again… Then over the course of the relationship I come to discover by looking through his phone (and finding what he admitted to be dealer’s numbers) that he’s smoking pot in addition to drinking beer at home. In addition, his best friend is a crack addict, and on occasion will smoke in my bf’s house, with my bf there. My bf says during these times he himself just drinks alot and smokes pot. But one night in Feb, during one of our breakups, he has admitted to a cocaine binge while hanging out with this friend, who was smoking crack at the time. Also, he told me he gets very paranoid when doing this stuff, and when I was at his house last time, I noticed a little red towel hanging over the small window high up on his wooden door. I didnt know if this was there for when
his friend smokes at his house, or if HE was hiding somethi!
ng too.
Etc.

So I guess my question is: can a non-practicing (so to speak) crackhead POSSIBLY be around others using crack and not participate, instead choosing to get drunk/smoke pot? Can a non-practicing crackhead have a coke binge one night, and then leave coke alone? And I don’t think he ever cheated on me (and I had him tested for STDs twice– both were negative for everything) but I can’t shake this connection in my mind between drugs and STDs– even if he was doing drugs, there’s no need for me to believe that he MUST have cheated on me, thereby putting my health in jeopardy, right? I’m going off the deep end a little, I know, and I was always safe, but I’m having so much anxiety over trying to decipher the truth.

Finally, the only reason I have to BELIEVE that he wasn’t using any drugs regulary is becuse anytime we were together, even for 4 consecutive days at a time, he never disappeared on me, never had ANY change in appearance or demeanor or attitude, never had red eyes…. I imagine smoking crack is something he wouldn’t be able to not do even for hours at a time, and maybe he could have more easily hidden coke from me but wouldn’t I have noticed SOMETHING in him if that was the case? That leads me to think he could somehow, and with the aid of pot and beer, been using again at least somewhat recreationally, and perhaps with coke instead of crack….? Since I didn’t think he had a drug problem (aside from this coke binge which I just found out about maybe a month and a half ago) I focused on AA and trying to force him to go and get the alcoholism under control. He would listen and cooperate with me and have some success, but before long, and usually on weekends, he would disappear
by phone (meaning I couldn’t reach him for a whole night, or he woudln’t call when he said he would, etc).

Sorry for the long ramble, I’m just feling confused and emotional over all this.

Thanks very much and I hope to hear from you soon.

Answer: Hello Deanna,

“So I guess my question is: can a non-practicing (so to speak) crackhead POSSIBLY be around others using crack and not participate, instead choosing to get drunk/smoke pot? Can a non-practicing crackhead have a coke binge one night, and then leave coke alone?”

Answer: NO…NO…NO…NO…NO…NO…

This will change your life! Look at this video

WOW what a message Joel Osteen did this Sunday it confirms so many things Todd and I say. Message #297 Keeping Yourself Happy

Are there people in your life that you just can’t make happy? You are not responsible for other people’s happiness. While we should be givers, we shouldn’t allow others to control us. Learn to set boundaries in your relationships so you can be all that God intended you to be.

Grand Rapids Michigan Couple Attacks Crack with a Vengeance

USA, Grand Rapids, Michigan- Don’t know anything about crack cocaine? You should learn. Todd and Camille Gibson are on a mission to expose the truth about crack cocaine. Todd who had a 10 year everyday addiction to crack cocaine is now 8 years free and has a ministry to help others conquer their crack cocaine addiction forever. Camille who in the beginning had no clue what crack cocaine was now spends her free time counseling the loved ones of crack addicts when she is not attending to the couples 3 young daughters.

“We run our ministry from the basement of our home”, states Camille. “Yes, we help hundreds of people all over the world who are devastated by crack use. “I was in the revolving doors of crime, crack, jail and treatment for 10 years, never having the hope of ever breaking free from the grip crack cocaine had on me”, Todd speaks tearfully. Todd continues to say, “I have found freedom and want every person addicted to crack cocaine to know that there is hope through our ministry. There is true freedom from crack cocaine and a wonderful life that follows once a person conquers their addiction to crack cocaine”.

Todd and Camille have 13 beliefs instead of the traditional 12 steps or clinical textbook ways of beating crack addiction. “These programs have their place, but from our experience we have yet to see them work in maintaining sobriety from crack cocaine. Our belief number one is, ‘We believe in each success not every failure’. We only deal with crack cocaine because there is nothing like crack. Oh, every addiction has its problems but crack, well crack is destroying our world as we know it and no one is taking it seriously”, Camille mentions.

Todd and Camille believe one of the best tools in conquering crack cocaine addiction is to expose all the crack lies, followed by educating yourself as to what crack cocaine is, how it works and how to fight it if you are addicted. There are many famous actors addicted to crack; even our Presidents niece has crack cocaine problems. “It’s everywhere. We help people in America, London, Africa, Iraq, Japan, Iceland, Canada; you name the place and we have had someone from there contact our ministry desperately seeking help. We know our program works when you work it. It has not failed me and it will not fail you”, Todd declares.

This ministry offers help to those addicted to crack as well as their family and friends. Todd and Camille have a 75 day self-help program, a live weekly internet radio show, 3 books published and several more in the process. All books, programs and materials will be available soon in ebook form on their websites. Their services can include a personal visit. Todd also is an establish guitarist with some of the most soothing healing melodies out there and this crack-attacking couple have over 800 members in their internet support groups. Crack Cocaine can be conquered!
