What I’ve learned over my girlfriends 2 year long addiction to coke is that it’s like riding a rollercoaster , there will be ups and there will be downs . For you it will be like living with a hurricane , you will be truly tested to your core and get ready for you mental health to take a hit cos it happens to all the loved ones , especially if you take the bad guy role in his eyes , which is normally the person they love the most , as the brain can’t deal with the shame or what they are doing to us . All I can say is that I’ve done everything to get my girlfriend off this stuff , followed her , shamed her dealer I. Front of neighbours , took her cash cards , told her mum and dad and friends .yet she still can’t stop , addiction is a mental illness and he will now be an addict for the rest of his life , but it’s only him that can stop this . You can’t do anything and that’s the truth …buckle up and see how much he actually means to you , when addiction takes grip you loose the person you once fell in love with ….
