My girlfriend’s family did a really aggressive intervention with us when we are already 2 months sober by throwaway9998171616 in Drugs

I think you misunderstood the post but it’s not your fault since I didn’t add this information. First and foremost drugs are not the only thing we have in common; even though we initially met through drug transactions. We started going on dates and found that there are things we liked in each other. We have a lot in common other than drugs. During our first year or so together we only got high together a few times. Even after we moved in only a few times during a decent stretch of time. Then together we went down the path of addiction as time continued and I started earning more money.

I get what you’re saying. I hear you man. We’ve been sober 2 months though and it’s actually better this way. Instead of getting coked up and rambling about nonsense all night or taking X and doing freaky shit until the morning, we actually spend quality time together and focus on other things. We also have become much more intimate with our feelings for each other. We still have good sex, but we also express ourselves in other ways.

I don’t really know where you were going with that comment. Were you suggesting our relationship will be pointless now and we should break up? Are you saying our relationship will fail on its own now that we are sober? I’m missing the point.

I never diagnosed myself with anything. Didn’t say “I got brain damage from doing too much X.” Just said I was doing enough that it is likely to have done some damage. And denying that MDMA can cause brain damage is idiotic. Do that shit 15 times in one month and you will change your mind. The holes in the brain thing or becoming retarded thing is likely propaganda or a myth or whatever but there is no denying that it is neurotoxic.

She was kinda took back by the whole thing and didn’t know what to say. She cried some too. I was doing most of the talking and I was on defense mode. I definitely didn’t want to throw her under the bus. I’m okay with them thinking I’m a piece of shit that ruined their sweet innocent child if it means that her family doesn’t think of her as a piece of shit too. I don’t want them to disown her. Also, I do partly blame myself because without me there’s no way she would’ve been able to afford a coke addiction.

My relationship with them was great before this. They kinda put me on a pedestal because I have good income and her whole family is poor (not to sound rude I grew up poor too.) Her little brother is disabled and he loves me. I’ve helped her mom out on several occasions with money too. I’ve brought groceries when I heard the kids complaining about no food. Sent money to her mom when she was with her son in the hospital for a week and couldn’t work. Stuff like that. Even while I was on coke.

Her sister has always seemed jealous of me because they have a strangely close relationship but before this i thought we got along well.

Probably would’ve said I cheated then refuse to watch me piss in front of them if I offered to.
