Hi Roberto
I echo what the others say… it is absolute hell living with a coke addict.
So my experience is even though they want to change and get clean, it’s incredibly hard. I think because usually there is an underlying reason fuelling the addictive personality. So many of the addicts have issues with other addictive behaviours such as heavy drinking, smoking, gambling, sex…
My one has been using drugs for all his adult life but mainly recreationally. I had no idea when I first met him. He also has had gambling issues decades ago and issues with alcohol and smoking. It turns out – I only found this out recently – that he had a previous bad addiction to crack years ago but managed to get off it.
When I met him, he was occasionally using coke recreationally. Just before lockdown this increased to someone showing him how to make crack from powder coke. Since then we’ve been in a nightmare of his increasing addiction to doing that.
At first mine was functioning but eventually he’s become non-functutional… not able to hold down a job, has had 2 suicide attempts, no money/debt, heavy drinking and smoking when he does it… aggressive and violent when off the drug/coming down. Extreme paranoia and delusions. It’s progressively got worse. Life revolves around the drug.
I would definitely steer clear if you are able to or otherwise, give him the time and space to get clean and do not move in with him or share any type of finances.
