If you are with an addict in my opinion then they need professional help and if you continue to feed them…provide a roof over their head – then what I have learnt from living with an alcoholic is that you need to leave them to sort out their life. Even if this means death or them going to the bottom. Sounds terrible doesn’t it? I have lived with my husband who is an alcoholic _ I left hime 7 years ago and now despite working hard to bring up two daughters alone – my 17 year old I have just found out is taking ketamine at concerts. If this does not stop I will have to think about this and ask/get her to leave the home as I learnt that this is the only way that addicts HAVE to do it themselves. I am distraught and feel pain.
