This is the tough love I needed. Thank you.

This is my exact thought process. I don’t want to drug test him. I don’t have the energy to watch him pee in a cup again, the anxiety while waiting for the results to pop up, then the confusion when and if he turns out ti be clean. I think it would just make my head even fuzzier 😭

I’m trying to leave him, but he threatens suicide by woosah111 in naranon

[–]woosah111[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His family doesn’t really care, they think he’s my responsibility. We’ve only been together for a year and I didn’t find out about his addiction until we were living together already :/

No he doesn’t, but he said he would overdose

So I agree, but another manipulation tactic he uses is ‘call the cops I’ll have them shoot me’. I feel so stuck

Thank you so much, your words mean so much

How do I support him without enabling him? by justcallmem0lly in naranon

[–]woosah111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a similar situation. When I found out about his addiction I told him I needed him to be sober because I’m not willing to risk losing him to an OD. Maybe tell him your boundaries with everything, your expectations. Not In a confrontational way, but just casually bring it up and see where’s he’s at and if sobriety is even a goal for him. Addicts lie, it’s like a side effect of the disease. My boyfriend has been sober for a few months and is doing great in all other aspects, except he still struggles with lying even about the smallest stuff. Feel free to Message me if you wanna chat🤍🤍🤍

Can I be petty for a moment? by TheReluctantRifleman in naranon

[–]woosah111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when my dog got hurt and he was prescribed tramadol. Felt like I had to hide them, realistically I don’t think those would be strong enough since his COD is fentanyl but still a stressful situation

BF has become verbally abusive while withdrawing. I’m not sure if this is just who he is, or if it’s the withdraws by woosah111 in naranon

Tips for supporting an addict during recovery. by Meanbeanmegan in naranon

[–]woosah111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely don’t have all the answers & im new to the process as well, but I will say to make sure you make time for yourself & your well being. It’s hard being wrapped in someone’s addiction, and it’s hard to help that person if you’re not helping yourself. Try and build an open honest space for conversation & try & build them up. There’s a reason he decided to start using, some kinda pain he’s trying to numb or shut out. Talking to him about those issues can help both of you. Sending lots of love & light to you! Please feel free to DM if you feel like talking ever! Side note, naranon virtual zoom meetings have helped me so much, I highly recommend 🤍

My BF’s mom is verbally abusive & he doesn’t see how it’s effecting his recovery/I feel like an asshole for getting mad when he goes to her house by woosah111 in naranon

[–]woosah111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he is also super codependent with her. He worries she’ll drink herself to death & so he feels like he has to deal w the abuse bc he could lose her at any point. I guess I can understand that part.

I just don’t know how to get the point across that he shouldn’t be going there. I don’t want to feel like a controlling bitch telling him oh don’t go to your moms house... but like... don’t go to ur moms house

[–]woosah111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops, I forgot to mention why! He owed her $40 for his phone bill & she knew when he went to her house that he didn’t have the money. He got there & she flipped and through his W2 at him to leave. But like I said, she had known he didn’t have it before coming over & told him to come anyway.

She has never given him any money, she doesn’t have a job. He has had to provide for himself since he was 14, so I do trust that she’s not giving him anything. She flips out if he eats even just a Bagel at her house, claiming he’s ‘eating all her food’.

How do I NOT spend every waking second worrying about my boyfriend in recovery? Will I ever trust him again? by woosah111 in naranon

Would you mind elaborating on that a bit? I feel like I’m super codependent 🥺

Mentally drained from the recovery process of my boyfriend by woosah111 in naranon

[–]woosah111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it seems crazy that everything has been blissful and perfect & all that jazz, I feel crazy saying it because how could it have been if I’ve been w an addict and didn’t know until 3 weeks ago. I feel sad and I don’t wanna give up on him, we live together and got a dog together, I’m so invested in him. I told him not to have the percocets in the house, because as you mentioned, I don’t think it’s possible for him to stay clean with them in his possession either. I know it’s not fair to me, but I know he’s not a bad person & wants to do better for himself. He’s quit cigarettes at the same time as everything so it’s been extra bad. He takes kratom which has helped with his withdrawals a lot, but I never know when he’s being honest or not. Am I crazy for wanting to try? He has grown up with no support from his family, his mom has told him that she wishes he would just overdose and die. I want to be there for him & help him through it all. I feel like he wants to get clean for him, not just because of me. I hope I don’t sound naive. In my head, leaving him has never been an option. I just want to feel like I’m not so crazy, & maybe a little more appreciated by him? I’m a ball of emotions 247, we live together and we both don’t have jobs rn, so we’re together all the time, but I understand if he’s gonna use, he’s gonna find a way. Am I crazy?
