My boyfriend is a crack addict. He was for many years before I met him. Then he went to prison for 6 years. I thought that would be the end of it....
I love him with all of my heart! I don't want to leave, but it is not healthy for me to stay.
When do I stop trying? He is not interested in stopping, yet he is always so apologetic!!! What's up with that? If your sorry....STOP!!!
Can someone PLEASE advise me, so that I can TRY to understand?

" sounds like he's an addict..addicts are usually sorry for a lot of things but it doesnt stop us from hurting ourselves and others when we continue to use..its nothing u or i can say to make him stop..only the addict can decide to reach out for help ..i can only suggest maybe u drop him at a meeting and maybe he'll start reaching for help..other than that u may want to distance urself from the relationship ..sounds like ur been threw a lot with him and he's just going in circles..u deserve better than continuing this cycle..

" The only advice I have is to join a support group for yourself. I am learning my behavior only makes things worse.....We can only love, support and be there for them....Work on yourself, you cannot make him recover, he has to want it bad enough for himself,,,,then and only then will he change.....Its a hard road, very heart breaking to watch someone you love destroy themselves and everything around them. But you will be of no good if you allow his addiction to destroy you too. We as non addicts have no clue the hell they go through....the fight, the cravings, the dissapointments....this is not something they enjoy, they hate it, but it has control over them....and it takes a lot of strength to pull through....best wishes and good luck to you!!!
