Boyfriend uses meth, I want to quit
I'm
new here so please bear with me. I have no one I can really talk
to or turn to and happen to stumble upon this site. Hopefully
there's someone out there that can relate.
Any suggestions or comments welcomed.
My Story:
I have been using ice off on on for 4 yrs now. It wasn't until I
got with my new boyfriend that I see myself using it more
frequently than before, this is not say that I blame him for my
habit. That is clearly my choice. The only hard drugs I've seen
him do is pot and a few pills. He is against ice, but yet he
will get them for me and does it with me....sometimes without me
and lies about it afterwards asking why I'm questioning him when
I'm obviously the addict here.When we first started smoking it
together it was great, but in time our relationship start to
suffer from the use. He's constantly yelling and getting angry
at me for minor things that use to never bother him before. One
minute everythings fine, next thing I know he's cursing at me.
In my heart I knew I had to make a choice it was either I had to
quit or sit back and watch my relationship deteriot. After much
thought I finally decided to admit to him that I was addicted
and need his help to quit. Instead of being supportative of my
decision he pushed me away saying all kinds of hurtful words.
It's real hard for me to try and stay away from it especially
when he's still using and bringing friends by the house whos
using. I have tried everything I can think of to keep this
relationship from falling apart but it seems like no matter how
hard I try he's going to find something else that is wrong. Its
gotten to the point where I feel like heck he doesn't care so
why should I. I have been tempted to go out and get me a little
something for myself...at least when I'm using I feel no
pain...I really don't want to go back to using but it seems like
I have nothing else to loose.
I don't know what else to do...please help!!! |

Re: Boyfriend uses meth, I want to quit
First of all congratulations for
reaching out for help. So are you saying that your boyfriend is
against ice, but is using ice? And he's not going to quit using
even though you made the decision to quit doing it? Sorry if I'm
a little confused.
I don't know what advice to give, besides the advice that I see
most given here, and that is to go to a meeting. A bunch of
meetings. It is truly what works for most people to be able to
get off the drugs and stay off the drugs.
I know you want to keep your relationship, but I don't see how
if he doesn't stop. And you don't need the abuse from him
either. Have you asked him to quit?

understanding that abounds here, you certainly won't be getting
it from that meathead you call "boyfriend", boy? yes,
friend......well, my "friends" would NEVER treat me like that!
You have everything to lose aliyah, you're a living, breathing,
miracle of life! You are one of a kind and unique in your own

and boyfriend is'nt the answer, drugs are'nt the answer. Keep

Hon
you need to read your post with another pair of eyes...here use
mine...

Why
of course it is obvious you are the addict there...then he
doesn't have to look at himself.

If
he supported your position and decisions then his would no
longer be valid to himself.
Nice he is so good at the blame game...turning the faults and
mistakes back to you at each step forward you attempt to take.

He doesn't want you to quit. If you do he will have to see for
himself just what he is doing. With you using it makes it a
comfort zone for him...his comfort zone has nothing to do with
anyone else's comfort.
Hon you are trying to hang onto and build on a relationship that
doesn't appear to exist.
Walk calmly and quickly to the nearest exit. The relationship is
on fire, and he holds the matches.
Go to meetings, check out Co dependency meetings, NA, AA, Alanon
hit them all...
He found his enabler in the addict you were...he also found his
whipping boy.
YOU are WORTH MORE than that.
aliyah4, Welcome to KCI. Welcome to new and I hope you will
consider us good friends.
aliyah4, I am so glad you came.

Re: Boyfriend uses meth, I want to quit
Just
wanted to thank everyone here for being so kind and supportive.
I'm going to keep my strengh and faith up as that is all I have
to left to hold on to.
The answer to whether or not I have asked him to quit as
well...no, I mean how can you possibly ask someone to quit when
they themselves see that they have no addiction problem?
Thanks again guys!! |
