How do I help the person I love?

My boyfriend came to me early this morning and told me he had the incredible urge to find a hit of crystal meth and shoot up. I guess he was on Yahoo and a person from his past came online and asked him for instructions on how to shoot up, so he gave him step by step instructions. He said at this point he realized he had a problem. The conversation made him want a fix and also made him really horny at the same time. He said he doesn't think he has any control, meaning that if any drugs were available, he would not say no.
The last time he did crystal meth was April 26, before he met me. Here is his/our history. He has used all kinds of drugs in the past, is a bisexual male, lost his mother at a very young age, is depressed and is HIV+. He is dealing with his urges to have sex with men. I love him with all of my being and just want to help him. I don't know what I can do because this is a lot to handle in just a few months, there are a lot of issues we have to work through to be together. I'm here for the long haul and for once in my life I'm at a loss of what to do. I know that I can help him through this, but I don't know that I can be with him if he starts using again. I'd like to think that life hands us stuff we can handle. I hope I can help him through this. I need advice. I'm really struggling with this right now, but don't want to show my weakness to him. I want to be strong for him. What can I do to help him? What can he do to help himself, since he recognizes he needs help? Posted on 08/06/09, 07:08 am |

Theres really nothing you can do for him sweetie.He will stop when he wants to stop and no matter how much you love him thats just how it is...I am a recovering addict myself and this is just my experience.
XOXO CeeCee

I am in the same boat and it's a dead end...my BF had been clean for 3 yrs when I met him..I have never been around this evil drug to know how messed up it would get...2 yrs and my whole heart later...I am sick, depressed, broken hearted, and thinking there is no hope! He's not willing to get clean but wants me to "overlook it" and "let it run it's course"...all I see is a road that ends nowhere. Save yourself! Don't be me and try to save him..you will only hurt yourself and lose in the long run.
Just know you are not alone :-(

You aren't alone and unfortunately there is nothing you can do, but pray if you do that. My hubby is using again and it's not good. I'm hoping the very son birth of our firstborn will help him see the light and get the FUC* over this shit. It realy feels ost days like a losing battle. I thought being seperated by prison for 4yrs would be the hardest thing we would have to endure. This road is long, very hard, very infuriating and who knows how it will end. My man also feels like I should just be able to accept it, but I am constatnly under sus[icion and accusations of cheating and things I'm not doing. It gets very difficult to DEAL with and accept. I just pray every day for GOD to give him the strength, will power and desire to kick this shit. I will keep you in my prayers, but ultimately it is your decision. Weigh the pros and cons of your relationship and the effects the drug is having on you both, good luck!

He has to want help. If he doesn't want it, you can't do anything. Plus, if he's been clean the whole time you've been together, you don't know what he's like on drugs. They completely change people, you know?
You can't help an addict. That's really the long and short of it. But I understand completely how you feel. I've experienced the SAME THING with my boyfriend. He never said 'no' and now he's in prison because drugs made him so crazy. And his mom is dead from using meth so much. That doesn't happen with everyone, but it's just a taste of where it gets you... Hard drugs aren't anything to be messed around with if you really want the quality of life you deserve.
