Good afternoon, this is the first time I have ever done anything like this.

my now ex of 3 years is a cocaine addict. We broke up a week ago.
he has many times where he will be sober for for a period of time and then he relapses. I try to be there for him offer help and support as I realise it’s a disease. Looked up local support groups and help centres but he had no interest.

This time tho he has ended the relationship. Obviously there is a lot more to it and it’s not that cut and dry but I can’t help but worry about him.
prior to the break up he admitted he was an addict that he hated himself and the way his life has turned out and he hate this vicious cycle he is in.

We are not in contact any more the last time we had contact was when he took cocaine and ended up in hospital I was there like a shot to support him out of love care and worry. However I have read a lot of these forums and other help one and it seems like me sticking around would be enabling him.

I am not really sure what my question is, but I feel stress and anxious and have no one I can talk to or rant about this too and it is slowly killing me day by day.
