Dating an Addict
I am in a 3 year
relationship w/ someone I've known for 10 years. He has a meth
problem, but he doesn't think so. He probably uses 3-5 times a
month. He used to tell me when he did, because it'd be very
apparent and obvious. But since we have not been living together
for the past 2 months, I think he has been using more frequently
and now he doesn't tell me anymore when he does use. He lies to
me now. He doesn't think it's a big deal and doesn't understand
why I have such a cow about it. However, it's very apparent when
you look at the way he's been living his life for the past 10
years. It's taking it's toll on our relationship. I can't trust
him anymore. It's tearing me apart. I have tried to leave him a
few times, but can never follow through. I am totally frustrated
and heart broken. He has such good intentions, but reading
through all these posts, it just reconfirms that he is an addict
but just can't see it. Thanks for listening. Had to tell
someone, somewhere. I really commend everyone who quits and
stays sober. |

Re: Dating an Addict
Have you tried attending
an Al-Anon meeting or 3?
Many people there will understand what you are going through.
No one there will judge you for staying, or going.
What you WILL find there, should you choose to look for it, is
peace, serenity, and strength to do what is best for you.

Re: Dating an Addict
Welcome - I'm in your
same shoes. They have a name for us -- it's called codependent.
If you can get to a meeting, GO!!!
Almost all of my own recovery has come from this site, as well
as some really great books.
Unfortunate how you ended up here - but welcome! |
