I’m the partner of an addict. We’ve been together for six months. I knew that she was an addict when I started dating her. I have a terrible guilt that I’m enabling her or contributing to her comfort in addiction. I don’t know how to help her and i feel very alone in the whole thing. My therapist told me that a partner staying through addiction can actually decrease the likelihood of desire to get clean. And I think about that every day. My girlfriend has begged me to leave her before and even broke up with me once because of her addiction. I don’t know what to do.
