‘People places and things’ it’s very important in addiction to avoid triggers such as people around him using he should get out of there it will only make life harder if he stays in the same place , however i to moved around but I always brought the same head so until he addresses what’s going on in his head nothing will change.
As for being scared my own mother admits she cried herself to sleep not knowing if I would survive but had she not detached I wouldn’t be were I am today, my current partner has made it clear one slip up and she’s out for her and her child’s sake and I accept that as mentioned in my story I picked up a painkiller habit over the last 2 years after getting sober it’s been 4 days tommorow and a day after I decided to get clean she suggested a separation purely down to the fact she didn’t not want to be there if I died.
Addiction is ruthless it will destroy everything in its way and everyone around it, your not alone and nor is he talking is healing I personally don’t have a sponsor but I keep in touch with a drug councillor who has helped me even the likes of this forum when something is spoke about like this it helps.
I actually wanted to share my story to help me focus on my own recovery again and by conversing with you it’s helped me get through another day now that’s proof alone it’s possible you have a huge decision you either detach or you hang in there but if he does not get that wake up call I can assure you he won’t change the pain we can carry is severe because we self medicate and we don’t feel it but it does get to a stage it gets to much and that’s when an addict decides to change think about it don’t be a crutch and don’t allow addiction to ruin both of your lives he can change and it does happen what your doing is healing but he has a lot of work to do himself don’t be soft on him it’s important you remain super strong for you to
