Dygz Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 As a young man in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, my advice would be simply to break up with him. It may seem calloused, it may seem as though your abandoning him but the reality is that he can't truly love or care about you when heroin dominates his life. I was in a very similar situation when I was still using. A girlfriend that I had been with for about 2 years ended it all due to my addiction to drugs and alcohol. I can't say what he would do if you broke up with him but my girlfriend ending things with me propelled me closer towards treatment and now I have been clean for 3 years.

Jesika Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sweetie, I know it is hard to see someone you care about slowly killing themself, but you can't change what he is doing. I am glad you kicked him out and I am sorry he has no family here, but I know he isn't the only one who doesn't have family close by. If he wants help he will get it, nothing you say or do will change his mind. The drugs are his first thought in the morning and the last thought at night. My uncle has been an addict for over 30yrs.......he is no longer able to care for himself and isn't the same man he used to be, it is hard to watch, but the only person who can make him stop is HIM.

sb129 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 As long as your Bf is using, his first love will be heroin, not you. I know this sounds harsh, but its true. If he was made to choose between you or H, then he wouldn't choose you. Addiction is supremely selfish, and a sickness that can't be cured by you. YOU are the only person who can look out for YOU at the moment. Take care of yourself. You need to get out, this R will only bring you down the way it is now. Link to post Share on other sites
