Good for you all who are staying clean! Addiction is a nasty pain. The emotional pain and depression is bad enough but the temptation makes things worse. Way to keep strong
I need help bad. My boyfriend of five years has picked up this Addiction . I went to help him through this but he will not let me in . Every time I find out about it he always says he has not done anything . But I can tell he has lost so much weight he looks so bad. His attitude is different . I plan on marrying him but not with this problem. Please help .

I've been in the same position as your boyfriend and its hard to come clean and just admit to everything.He's in denial right now and obviously isn't ready to quit his addiction.The first step would be to identify that there is a problem and he has not done this yet.There really is nothing you can do to stop him.My ex-gf of 3 years couldnt even stop me from using and we eventually split up.Here is what you have to do.Give him an ultimative.For him to quit,he would need to stop hanging out with the people he is.If you really love him and want to be with him,get married,ect....you'll need to pack up and move away and tell him you can either come with you,or you're gone.You need to get him away from everything or else nothing will change.If he doesnt want to leave then you know he is not ready to quit using and you should just leave him.If he really loves you and cares about you he will try to address his problem.If not,then Im sorry.I just know where he is coming from,I've been through it all.

Hello
I need to save my life. I'm looking for someone or several someone to help me. My wife is on my side still and I would like to keep it that way.\
Iv'e been using powder for most of my adult life but extremly heavy for the last 6 months. My wife discovered it about 1 month ago and I continued use up untill, while today. Please direct me someone.
Best place I could recommened after you see your family physician and get a general health check-up is Alcoholics Anonymous. It has withstood the test of time, and whether you go to AA or NA the principles are the same. If you are having a bad day or jonesing, you can call a member and they will come sit with you, take you to coffee, take you to a meeting.
Al-anon is ususally held around the same places AA/NA is and would be good for your wife. I am not joking, good luck.
When I chose to be clean and sober, the AA/NA fellowship really helped me through some bad times. In fact, when I had to deal with some teenage female issues, my AA sponsor was there for me when my mom was on vacation. She and another lady even tried to mediate between my father and I when we were fighting.
A true AA or NA member always helps a fellow alcy/addict in crisis if they can, regardless if they like you or what you stand for. There was a total gay, dress like awoman, make-up wearing bi-sexual guy at our meetings. The biggest red-kneck there said if they were on the streets, he wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire- but as a fellow alcoholic if the gay man called him for help, he would be there.
As for why you didn't just tell your wife you liked to use a little powder occassionally, that's another story. I bet she would have understood far better than you gave her credit for. It is in sickness and in health,in God's eyes. Do you really think she would have dumped you for that?
But, maybe it is best, that way you never exposed her to it or got her into it. If these were your reasons for concealing your use, I commend you. If not, remember, trust Mama. (wife)

OK Please Mr BIG Font...
Dope by itself is not a problem.... problem happens when it's consumedby human entities considering that there's a choice: "....Duuhh... Ok!..... May I?...or no! ?......) Hey! Do it or don't!... Ok... This is not a good advice...last phrase:burn yourself or be fair...

That means he has relapsed.So the chances of him quitting again anytime soon is slim to none.You should get him back into a relapse program if you can.
If he's grown there's really nothing you can do.He has to do it on his own.
Cocaine recovery, eh? Personally, I have found programs like AA, CA and NA less than worthless. The way to kick cocaine is to (A) get away from it for at least a week, and (B) Really want to stop it.
Addiction is extreme ambivalence, accompanied by biochemical factors. Understanding addiction is the way to kick a habit, not by acting like a victim and praying to some nonexistent 'higher power' to take away the desire. PLEASE.
Hope I don't piss anyone off, but I think those programs are for idiots and morons (believe me, I've done my time in 12-step programs... I'm not talking out my ass). They can be a good way to hook up with clean/sober friends, but outside of that I think they're really useless. In fact I think they encourage "relapse" more than preventing it.
hello -- I am in the same position as "ahelp"(g/f of an addict) and also desperatelyneed help/advice. How far gone/addicted is my boyfriend if he has fairly frequent and severe mood swings, blows up irrationally at me (when not on it)and becomes extremely defensive, erratic, and lieswhen confronted about his use?? he says he wants to marry me, I've told him he needs to stop.. he says he's not doing it anymore, but his behavior andreactions tell me differently.. and he flipped when I told him I think he's lying. the mood swings are nuts. We're not living in the same state, he's pushing for us to move in together, meaning he would leave his coke "scene", but thiswould require a huge leap of faith on my part that he would really stop like that and not freak out/blow up at me like he has been. Any advice?? is this is a lost cause or just a risk I need to decide whether I'm willing to take?? many thanks..

This kind of behavior is very common for cocaine users.You wouldnt believe how many times I've blown up in my girl's face sometimes about nothing at all.It all was caused by my cocaine use.
I was using every single day and it got to the point where I would stay out all night,then come home in the morning and sleep all day.When she would confront me about it,I would always make up some kind of lie.I think every couple goes through the same shit when it comes to cocaine.
If your bf is willing to move to a different state and start his life over with you then I think that shows a good sign that he's ready to stop using and be committed to you.Good chances are though he will go back to using coke again at one point or another.It could be a month or it could be a year or longer.Just watch for the signs.Everything that you said he does is a sign of coke use.Coke will cause depression and aggression and that is why he behaves so violently towards you.
Its not a total lost cause.Getting away is the best thing that could happen to him.So maybe you might want to think about the move.If he knows nobody where you live then he wont be doing coke.Well atleast until he meets some people.It's up to you though.Only you can make that decision.If you really love him then you might want to give him a chance.If things dont get any better then you will just have to move on with your life.There's alot of people out there in the world.Anyway,I hope things work out for ya in the end.
dear str8ballin,
thanks so much for your advice and insight... this does help quite a bit ,especially that it is likely he would get into again down the line if he meets the right people.
I actually broke up with him this weekend, I couldn't take it anymore. I arrived in FL Friday, and one of the first things he says "I feel like getting a bottle of vodka and an 8-ball, and going nuts!"This is after knowing there's an ultimatum out there. So, we have a heart to heart, and we dicuss how to handle the night, given his friends want to celebrate with a gram or two and go out.Despite this talk, desite hearing about how his mood swings have effected me and us, and despite knowing the line has been drawn and this is a dealbreaker, he goes ahead, gets completely trashed, does a few lines on the sly, and lies to me when I ask him about it. So, after severalbroken promises just like this, many conversations,a few lies, and an ultimatum, I broke up with him... yes, it was a great sign he wants to make a change and quit, but how can I trust him and make that kind of commitment when this continues in this way? Guess I'm not willing to risk 10K on a house and a move out of state for a big leap of faith.... when I tell him today I think there's a problem, I got the defensive counterattack.. it truly breaks my heart that he cannot see what he is doing. What is even more sad, is he claims he has been in love with me since we were 13,that I was "the one that gotaway".. now I am TRULY the one that got away. You think there's a chance he would come around? Or does he really need to be yanked out of there to really end it all?? many thanks again :)
Erin
What concerned me the most was you stated he "flips". Guys can flip in different ways- you didn't say he was abusive, but if he's mean now, more coke use won't make him any nicer in the future...Good luck whether you are with him or not. That was very strong of you to stick to your guns. Can I borrow some of that self-esteem please???
dear lovin' life -- yes, he was verballyabusive on several occasions.You've got a great point about meanness. it gets to a point I suppose where enough is enough &how much can you take. You have to do what's right for you foremost before letting someone ruin your spirits, & how you feel about yourself. You can't let someone else drag you down like that, you know???

Hi im really new to this i just registered today. i have delt with one of my best friends doing coke for about 6 months. she was only 15 when she started and at first she used to make fun of the people who did coke. then one day she licked it and said it was so gross and weird and that she would never sniff it. two weeks later she had sniffed it for her first time. she had such a bad head ache that next morning she said "if i had a gun right now i would f***ing kill myself. she said agian "never agian" it became a once and a blue moon thing only when she was really drunk, then it turned into evey two weeks and from there every weekend and from there almost everyday or every other day. she was made so many promisses to me and all of my friends that "oh this is my last time im sick of it it f***s with my head to much and my nose it killing me and im scared that im loseing my friends and family. in this short time she has gotten two of my other friends to think about trying it...and they eventually did... one of them did it for a little while and then realized its way to bad the other one still does it and she has a heart problem. the one friend that stopped got all this information on it and gave it to her she read it while she was on cocke and flipped out and sware up and down that"she would never do it agian". she now does it more then ever. i have tryed everything from begging to being nice to being an a**hole to just sitting back watching and crying about it and telling her im there for her. shes only 16 years old now and i feel as if her addition is bringing me down and bringing our friendship to an end and we have been friends since she was 7 and 10. please help her...i mean us..out. thank you.
