I am a recovering cocaine addict. Its been 3 years since i went into rehab and havent touched or wanted to touch that **** again. I admitt there have been days that i can still taste it, but when i was using, my life was so out of control and if I didnt stop, i dont know what kind of life I would be living today or if i would still be here.  Addiction is a very hard thing to deal with. I have a very addictive personality and always needed something to take the edge off. I dont know personally what your going through having a loved one being the addict but I know from the other side of things that its a very long and rough road. Your boyfriend will not stop untill he is ready to. He needs to understand what he is doing to you and others he is around. If he is not willing to change then maybe you are better off without him. Dont let a person make you want to give up on yourself, you are more important than that. The most important thing is to realize that you cannot change him, you can only be by his side and pray for him. Try talking to him about going to some meetings and/or rehab. It was the hardest thing i had to do but I thank God everyday that I did. I got my **** together and now im graduating from college this year as an Art Therapist. Let him know that you love him and want the best if you havent already. You will have your good days and bad, but he can do it and I know you will be there for him every step of the way. Best of luck, and i will be praying for you and your boyfriend.

well I can kind of relate when i was in school I had no friends because I was the fat kid and when I did find friends they were into some bad things a few years later I found myself constantly using marijuana and meth among other things. I have been clean for 4 years on the 18th of this month and the hardest thing was changing everything about my life I had to find new friends because if hes gonna quit he has to rid himself of the users and I had new hang outs new everything its much like what we are all going thru right now we need to change everything to fix one problem.  I would just tell him that you love him and will always be there for him but you cannot be a part of this.  He will either understand or he will pull away from you....its tough but if you let it continue you might just start yourself!  Does this make sense?

I am sorry it took me so long to respond to you and I would like to thank you for shareing with me its hard for me so I know it must be hard for him. I just need to be strong. I use to think I can love him enough for the both of us but its stressful for me it consumes every part of my life. Does that make sense?
