My boyfriend is pretty much everything a girl could want in a man-intelligent, caring, loving, talented, handsome..except for one thing...hes an addict. I knew about his addiction when we first got together. He'd been using all sorts of drugs off and on for 9 years previously. When I met him, it was crack and oxy. It wasnt causing us relationship problems, so I kinda ignored it. Soon it got so bad that I told him it was me or rehab. He went to rehab and cleaned up. We moved in together. About a month later, I caught him using oxy again. He told me that rehab helped him kick crack, but he felt he could manage his oxy usage. Since then, its gotten worse. Not as bad as before rehab, but I have a feeling its getting there. He promises me that hes going to stop someday; I want him to stop NOW & he knows that. I love this man with all my heart, but this is tearing me apart. He wont go back to rehab b/c he doesnt want his family to know hes using again. What can I do? Are we destined to fail?
