I read your reply and thought ‘what a strange coincidence!’ But there are no such things as coincidence, only the illusion of coincidence. Because after 17 weeks my ex called me. Then began a barrage of letters, messages and texts. He said he was clean. Approximately 6-8 weeks.
He did 10 weeks in rehab. Came out and within two and a half weeks, he’d used. That was when I walked away.
I looked back at this thread. I started this, A LONG TIME AGO, when I first discovered my boyfriend had used. It’s been a long journey and I still haven’t got him out of my life.
But the last post here.. coco.. this is so strange. Because my partner has just said ‘something feels different this time’ like he has had some big revelation. He has just stopped. He had a monthly injection but aside from that, as you said coco, he just stopped seemingly because he wanted to. Do I kid myself ‘this is it’? NO. I’ve told him our relationship is over, but I know he doesn’t believe that and is now moving heaven and earth to get me back… but I’m nobodies fool now. I will protect myself as fiercely as I once lived him.
Who knows what comes next?
