He is 27.

He does work, but as far as I am aware everyone around him is doing it which really doesn’t help the situation. He will go after work and do it at a friends. He has before disappeared on a Friday straight from work and not come back until Saturday or Sunday. I am trying to get him to talk more and but it’s also hard for me not to have ago at him when he finally tells me the truth as some of what he tells me hits a nerve so I am trying to be as reasonably as I can as I appreciate me nagging isn’t going to help either. We do live together but the problem is if he wants to go out and do it he will go from work so I don’t have that initial opportunity to take his keys or phone.

I am the only person he is talking to about his addiction at present except his doctor. He’s isolated himself from his whole family by just not making an effort over the years with maintaining a relationship with them even though I do and all of his friends use drugs unfortunately.

I am trying my hardest to be his support system and encourage him to do other things. I passed on your advice above so hopefully that helps him also. Thanks 🙂
