Why?

Somebody supporting another with cocaine addiction
Why did he start taken drugs 💔
I feel like i am so alone, yet I have so many people around me I can’t talk to. My partner has been a cocaine user for a long time and over the last year and half it’s become out of control, the daily worry about him the money. He keeps saying he is trying but can never provide and neg drug test. Am I just being a mug? We’ve been together for 16 years and it’s starting to take it toll on me mentally.

So sorry you’re going through this. I completely understand the feeling of not having anyone to talk to about it 😢

I don’t have much specific advice to give, but just wanted to say that we can all relate to that feeling of just wishing they would finally make the decision to change for the better. You are not alone! There are millions out there going through the exact same struggle. 💙

Are there specific triggers you’ve noticed for him using?

Sorry you’re going through this. Been with my partner 22 years and was in this position and things didn’t change until recently, when I really started to focus on me and letting go of what I can’t control. 

And when I slack I notice old patterns reamerging so for me the key is to selfishly look after yourself. My partner has slowly got better he had a lapse but I sending go off the handles like I previously did because k knew what the outcome would be. He hated seeing me change and take care of me but it’s slowly making him do the same. Take care of yourself here if you want to talk
