Re: I need some advise about my boyfriends substance abuse

I hate to say it but you need to end the relationship. It won't get any better. Give him information through post about places he can go for help Drug and Alcohol for starters but don't ruin your life because he is ruining his. He needs help and you are not the one to give it he need professional help. I know a person who got addicted to alcohol when in his 20s and at 70 years old it dominates his life and memory. He can't be taken anywhere he is embarressing and people other than me won't talk to him. He is a lifelong friend so I care but I care from a distance. Your man is putting his addiction before you which means you will always take second place or further down the pecking order. 

Sorry to sound harsh but that is the way it goes tell him he needs professional help and if he thinks anything of you and your relationship with him he will do something about it. admission to detox would be a good way to go.
