Hi liberty
I’ll try to answer your questions for you. I’m not currently using any class A drugs as I’ve said in some of the other posts I am still smoking cannabis in the evenings and I’m finding this is helping me to stay away from the crack and heroin. I started over 20 years ago experimenting with drugs it was in my late teens that I realised I had an issue. At first I did it because I was enjoying it but once the addiction has a hold of you there’s nothing enjoyable about it. I used drugs as an escape from reality and to try and stop thinking about the things that I had been through and that caused me pain. I don’t know the extent of your partner’s using but I know that if he’s an addict it won’t really matter what you say to him about your lives being better without drugs I’m sure he will know that but when it was me in that situation it wasn’t enough to stop me from using. Nothing was! I had to get to a place where I had had enough of it all and was committed to getting clean. Even though I reached that place I still relapsed. The way drugs affected the way I thought about things was just so scary I thought the powder cocaine had a hold on me but it was nothing compared to what crack cocaine did to me and my family. I don’t know if I’ve answered your questions or made it more confusing to understand but I’m happy to try and answer any other questions you might have. Or even any that your partner might have about the struggles he’s going to face in the fight for freedom from active addiction
