I'm devastated. I lost the love of my life to heroin. He's in recovery. Has been doing fairly well with that. But he threw a tantrum today because I wouldn't let him take my car and give him money to go play. He packed his bags and left. I'm dealing with his addiction and our breakup. I'm completely numb. Slightly relieved. And prone to random bouts of crying.

Takes time. Sorry! Keep reaching out for support, do your crying, and take care of yourself, you'll get through this.

(((big hugs)))

Please know: you will ALWAYS come out on the losing end when you're competing against substance addiction. Just know, his thoughts, feelings and behavior has absolutely NOTHING to do with you.

That's very true, although hard to see when you're living in it. My STBX chose alcohol over me, so I know what you're dealing with. But we can't help them if they won't help themselves. And continuing to put up with their bad behavior just reinforces their belief that they can do whatever they want and get away with it.

Good for you for stopping the insanity. Eventually you'll get to a place where you feel so much calmer and peaceful. It's worth it!

I'll second Cheryt's reply. I lost my BF to his addictions to alcohol, pot and cocaine. He has managed to poison every single relationship he has ever had and still thinks he doesn't have a problem. I sure he will go to his early grave thinking exactly that.
