      My boyfriends a cocaine addict and I’ve been told that they need to really hit rock bottom and lose things to realise they need help. They’ve got to want it. I struggled with my boyfriend for over a year, What you’ve done in my eyes is give him the push he needs!

      I manage his finances, no cash nothing. I have been told that macadamia nuts and liquorice together works reduces the craving. Even though he’s out of the house still love him and don’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t I’ve seen a massive change in mine xx

      What a terrible time for you. Unfortunately he will say such things as he clearly has not accepted he has a problem. He is responsible for his drug use not you, stay strong.

      My boyfriend’s a heroin addict and exactly the same, accusations, totally unreasonable and selfish but then the same thing has a meltdown (I’ve actually just posted my first feed). I’ve tried being kind…He takes kindness for weakness, ive tried understanding…He takes that as green light to get gear so now tough love is the last and only option?xx

      Give him Tough love! I was lied to for over a year by him and his mum about his addiction. I was always the one giving him tough love while his mum bailed him out.. it made it worse. I now do it my own way. Over 3 weeks ago he relapsed and gave his mum an excuse as to why he needed the money and she gave it to him because she thought he was going to get hurt. I told her not to how is someone suppose to stop if they know someone is going to always bail them out? They aren’t. It’s been 2 weeks now and he’s not touched it. Doesn’t sound a lot I know but being an addict for over 10 years and doing it every week I’m very proud of him.

      There is nothing wrong with tough love because you’re doing it for him and his life. X
