Dan, just reading this thread and you have helped me so much in the last year! Bloody hell that’s how long I’ve been using this forum!
Dan, I love how open and honest you are. You’re aware of your triggers and avoid them at all costs.
Hope the new flat is treating you well and you’re enjoying your own space.
NikkiC as hard as it is and your emotions are all over the place, you need to protect yourself.
Before my friend finally realised he needed rehab I was very cold towards him in the last several months. I had no interest in talking to him when he was high and I feel so much guilt myself as I would become verbally aggressive and call him a junkie and all the rest of it. I’m not proud of my reactions, but in all honesty I have never been in that position, loving someone and feeling as though I wasn’t enough to make him stop. Thing is, they have to want to do it for themselves, and from my experience don’t interact with him when he’s on drugs. If you know he’s not using or run out of drugs be kind with your words, but set clear boundaries.
