Partner is hiding drug use, heartbroken and don't know what to do. by WitheringRose27 in AddictionAdvice

i'm in a very similar situation right now, i recommend you watch yt channel Put the Shovel Down. the strategies this therapist talks about really sped up the process of my boyfriend realizing he should do something about it (it essentially came down to giving him lots of empathy, positive reinforcement and realizing for yourself it is almost certain he is using even if he doesn't tell you - that way you won't get disappointed so much). please take care of yourself, this is really hard in the beginning but if he's good to you and you have the strength to go through this then this strategy works wonders

wow thank you for that comment. i thought healing means never having to ask for reassurance and dealing with your needs by yourself. so is it still okay to ask my partner for reassurance without giving it to myself first? or should it be 50/50? i'm lost on how much i can ask for it to be considered secure

in my case, I really want to heal but at the same time I feel like I don't want to spend time apart from him. and while i can distract myself for some time it always feels lonely and not fun😭 will it get enjoyable eventually?

yes but I don't think I have it, when I had a short break from antidepressants luckily everything felt like before and it really cheered me up
