Heart breaking reading these stories! Although comforting also and insightful into similar situations.
I too are in love with an addict… although he’s in complete denial. He used cocaine recreationally for years in his younger years….we’ve been together just over 2 years… it’s been up and down but we’ve had some super times. Until recently the drinking has become heavily reliant drinking every night 3/4 to bottle of shy of ltr vodka bottle…. arguments and disappearing the breaking up the apologies, slight remorse… empty promises, and then ground hog day!
Cancelled plans, empty promises to give or cut back drinking. Some admission that there is a problem but they can deal with it! Which their not substituting alcohol for cocaine more often than not.
I’ve caught him lie a few times also I’m not stupid.
I’ve been firm and called out need help…After a tow and him leaving and that landed me with a breakup. But it’s twisted my fault…
it’s heartbreaking cause I love him but he self destruct and honestly if he can’t see there’s no problem.
It’s disruptive to everyone lives, on another thread they mentioned it was like a hurricane causing chaos!
I just hope that he sees sense that people around him love him before he losses us all.
Wish you all well and stay strong!
