I just need to know if anyone has gotten professoinal advice on how to handle someone who is started getting addicted. I dont want to give up on him but staying there is hurting my feelings. It is very stressfull. I really want to know if i should act like i dont know hes doing it and tell him how i love him and that he is appreciated, or should i leave him alone to think about it. Does he need to feel like hes lost most everything for him to come to reality? Anyone that has seekes professional advice for this situation please respond.

My boyfriend's family is full of drug addicts, so I have lots of experience in this. They are past the point of getting help. It sounds like your loved-one is not. I would tell him right now that he needs to go get help. I would not ignore the problem. It only gets worse. You need to stand strong. Don't feel sorry for him. But, do not let him just run- you have to let him know that he is cared for. Most importantly, DO NOT lend him money (he will only use it to buy more crack). DO NOT let him use your car for any reason. DO NOT let him live in your house- he'll steal things from you to pawn to buy crack. This is out of his control- he's an addict now and he needs to go into rehab.

O.K. The only thing you can do is get him some help, but unfortunately it wont work if he isn't truly committed to getting off of the stuff, second if you live with the person, when they get out of treatment you must move, far, far away from the current environment so this person will not be tempted to hang with the same people, second pray, with all of your heart and soul that the lord or whom ever you believe in will help this person over come this addiction, lastly if you love them always be there for them, don't turn your back on this person, but don't encourage the drug use either. I wish You luck.

The only way to handle this problem is to leave and let the person hit rock bottom. Yes, he has to lose everything. If you stay you will be enabling him. He has to want to quit or be desperate enough to quit. Get out now.

I think it ultimately depends on him... I know if it were me, I'd have to hit rock bottom, like as bad as it can get in my opinion... I think leaving him, with secret intentions of taking him back if he quits is a good idea, but dont tell him you'll take him back if he quits... crack is a effed up drug... its not even fun...

Well, let me tell you, if you can, speak to him when he is not feening for a hit. It only gets worst for him and for you. eventually you will lose all you have and can get a hold of. he may even get you hooked, be CAREFUL. He needs to go to REHAB NOW... if not Leave HIM and don't look back. I KNOW, please allow him to ruin your life GOD bless

I just answered a question of Brina's on the same subject. Please check it out. It was only asked a little while before or after your question. Everything I said applies to you to. As I said to her, feel free to contact me. Take care. :^)
