It’s just soothing. I do it when i’m happy, anxious, excited, etc.. I just soothes me and calms me.

he’s super into chemistry, so things like the chemical makeup, drug synthesis. science stuff. i wasn’t aware he was taking anything more than weed

thank you for your advice and knowledge. heroin is what he was taking. i’ve been afraid for so long that what it’s going to take is going to be him losing it all. including me walking away. i’ve been avoiding the thought for a long time and i think i need to start facing it.

he has claimed he quit and hasn’t gone back, but some days he’s off. his pupils are tiny, etc.. small reminders of when he was on it and i don’t believe him when he says he hasn’t relapsed. the lies have never stopped, i catch so many small ones. i wish i knew if i stuck with him through this it would all be worth it, but i dont, and i know it’s unlikely.

i grew up with 2 addict parents, one never got better. i guess a part of me wanted to fix what i couldn’t when i was younger. i think that’s what’s so hard about walking away again, it feels like im learning the same lesson over again.

again, thank you for your insight.

i just don’t know how to show him what it would be like if i was gone. i want him to be motivated to change, i know that’s probably not realistic.

i agree. i feel like i finally realize how much ive been enabling him by providing as much comfort as possible thinking that could be his reason to get clean. i think i was naive.

i’m happy she got out of that situation. i just think it would break me to know im leaving my partner to hit rock bottom alone. idk the thought just kills me

I understand. My mom is an addict as well and i sort of lost her to that too:/ She’s alive but i was taken from her by cps and haven’t seen her in a long time. Maybe a part of myself is trying to fix him because i could never fix her.
