Did he stop using then? When I said “tough love doesn’t work” I meant in terms of substance misuse not functioning, as some addicts can function perfectly with an addiction. In a nutshell, I mean no one can false someone to stop abusing drugs, so the threat of leaving someone etc doesn’t work! Yeh, might false him to get a job but does it false a person to give up substances? Not usually.
I suppose i should have explained a lil differently.
