  • We went out for 14 months, planned to be married.
  • I kept relapsing on drugs / alcohol, but I was trying to get clean and sober -- even entered a halfway house voluntarily.
  • She left me for the father of her child, a five-time convicted felon with a string of domestic violence charges because he could quote the Bible and she went hyperreligious on me. This guy has an active addiction to crack.
  • We've been broken up for 3 months now, he moved in from Florida, and she's been in light contact via email and phone. It's given me hope we can get together again.
  • ...UNTIL one day she let me know that she's been using dope with him for 6 weeks. She never had before! She's a 42-year-old girl scout mom with a 13 year old daughter! She's even been missing work!
  • The guy's been diagnosed recently as bipolar. She was with a clinical schizophrenic before me (for about a month). I've got a little bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder myself. She sure likes her crazy guys!
  • She's been entering adult websites to look for lesbian encounters. I was okay with that side of her....
  • However, now I'm not sure we can ever be together. She's a stone-cold addict now, after 6 weeks of hard using.
  • She is physically gorgeous and I am only kinda average looking (although I have a great body and I'm sweet and make money). But I'm still not so sure I will ever find a pretty, sexual girl again. She wasn't sane -- clearly -- so I must have painted an image of a woman on her and fell in love with the image.

WHEN -- not if -- she tries to come back (because this thing they have CANNOT work), should I try again? Can I do better?

 

More importantly, will she be able to see the example of recovery that I am setting? Will my reaching out to her to see if I can share recovery with her be helpful or not?

 

How the **** does someone pick up a crack habit at 42??? A mother, and a Girl Scout Mom who has a house and a (rapidly-in-jeopardy) job?

Addiction knows no boundaries.

 

If you're still in recovery yourself it would be very dangerous to associate with this woman. AFAIK, you're supposed to stay single for a year or more when you are trying to beat your addiction.

Roger that. I'm not playing with this woman -- she changed into The Enemy. She will be reduced to Crack Ho status by the end of the year, and right now she's in Crack Head status -- making her much too dangerous to associate with! If -- no, WHEN -- she calls, I will offer her a number to a WOMAN in Narcotics Anonymous and suggest she call that person.

Good move. When I met my SO we were both using (cocaine, mainly) - but we decided to quit together.

 

I have never looked back and have no desire to use ever again....but my SO slipped up and did coke on new year's eve...:(
