My ex partner has a Drug habbit. He lives in a world of total denial and lies to hide it from everyone. I got out of the house we shared but I still get succered into falling for the sob story time and time again. My life has become a struggle through his habbit and I hate myself for being weak and not being able to cut him off. Today I found this site and called a helpline. Where will I find the strength to get my life back without him in it. I read some of the links on this site and it’s like a light has switched on in my head. What im reading is my story but experienced by others too. I have felt very alone for a long time but hopefully today my life is about to change for the better.

My son is a drug addict and my life has been hell because of it. I too have started talking to DrugFam and it has really helped. Its so hard to do what you need to do. Im hoping i can find the strength from somewhere just like you.

Just know you are not alone in your struggle. Every minit of everyday I hurt inside cos I miss the man I had to walk away from because of what he had become. I’m unsure if they even realise the hurt and damage they cause or if they even care. Be strong and take all the support you need to stay strong x

Thankyou and you too. I’m just at the start of not supporting my son. He is homeless, no friends, no money. I cant tolerate his behaviour anymore or the impact it has on my life. So I am trying to take back control. When he is ready to accept change I will help him. But until then i have to cut him out of my life. Its tough. xxx

When i read this i thought it was my step mum writing it, she has just left my father cause he is an addict, me & my sibling have had to take control, we picked him up from A&E as he was taken there for suicide tendencies, for 3 weeks we have tried to support doing everything. Last night to cut a long story short he throttled me and throw me from his house and I had to drive 150 miles home in the middle of the night with my pets, why is it today that I am feeling anger, emotion, sadness and guilt but know that what he did was wrong. I’m at a loss and am on long term illness myself with no help from him why do I feel this bad. Afraid that we wont speak again, as he has reacted in this way when I was a child deja Vu!!!

Call DrugFam they will be able to help you. Somehow its people like us that end up the victims not the addict. Our intentions are always good and its a very hard habit to break to walk away from somebody. Sounds like you need to focus on you which is what i am trying to do. Its really hard. x

Hi.
I’m so sad for you too, just know that you are not alone in this, most days I cry for all that my ex has detroyed and damaged through his addiction. I kills me not to see him but It is very much in my best intrests not to carck and give in to that horrible drug he is comsumed with.My friend says nothing worthwhile comes easy and we are all worth so much more than how we have been treated i think.Amanda is so right when she says it’s us that end up the victims, I know my life was detroyed by his habbit and I know if I care anything for myself Hard as it is, I must stay strong and stay away, Stay strong and know there is help out there for you Just ask for it. take care & god bless xxx.
