Hi, I think that I know how you’re feeling although i know from experience there will be many details you chose not to share. I am now into my 4th year of a relationship where my partner was addicted to cocaine (oblivious to me due to not witnessing it before) he has been clean from Cocaine for 6months after 20years but In turn started drinking more. After excessive drinking he becomes verbally abusive and although recognising his problem falls back in to the same trap. I’m not sure what else I can do to help without becoming a nag or a nuisance xx
hjeParticipantHello, I firstly I want you to know you are not alone. Secondly they will always find a way to blame you, you are not the problem. I spent such a long time blaming myself for his behaviour questioning how I was acting when the truth is I was bending over backwards to make him happy. I have now accepted that the only person that can help him is himself although its difficult xxx
hjeParticipantI completely understand, atleast I think I do, although all situations are different. Do you live with your partner? The same thing happened to me, although he stopped the cocaine and started drinking more. As you are, I am torn and truly belive he will change. He’s so lovely when sober xxx
hjeParticipantAww that’s lovely!! I hope it helps you.
Currently not well at all, although he has never tried to get help to stop!
Just tells me he is going to, my story is soooo long and I’m not in the headspace to type it. Currently in the line of fire being insulted because he’s been using.
So sad, for everyone involved.
Thank you for replying!

hjeParticipantHi, I’ve never actually wrote on here before but tend to come on often to read other peoples experiences due to my partner struggling with addiction. Anyway I just wanted to say when I saw this post I was gutted for you I genuinely thought NOOOO. I’ve seen many of your posts and also how kind and supportive you have been for many other people struggling. You have come so far and although relapsing must be so disheartnening for you, use it as motivation. You are so honest and I am confident you will not let this beat you everyone has bad days, don’t fall in to the trap. 1 week clean since .. amazing!! Keep your head up and stay focused, you are in charge of the wonderful future ahead of you. Life is what you make it 🙂
