I just want to know if it is worth marrying a class 1 drug addict while you don't take drugs? Can a drug addict quit taking drugs forever or will they go back to take drugs in hard times. What are the side effects of marrying a drug addict while you are not a drug addict.

Hi, Drug addiction is a life long disease with relapse always a possibility. It is a day to day struggle for the recovering addict as well as his family and friends. If you stay with the addict, then you should be attending at the least weekly meetings of Al-Anon. You need as much support as the addict does. I wish the both of you the best of luck.

You should want more for yourself, you may not think so, but you are selling yourself short, move on so you can have peace of mind, don't marry him, because you will have more trouble then you can imagine. The drug addict, can get off drugs, only if they want, they have to do it for them self, not for you or anyone else. It is a very difficult phase, and a very trying road for them, sometimes for any reason, they can fall of the band wagon. But their are a lot of success stories out their. Now you want to know the side effects of marrying a drug addict? Hell, you go to hell and back! RUN, AND DON'T LOOK BACK!

Class 1 drug addicts can be cured of their addiction, but they will only stay "cured" as long as they avoid the drug for ever.
If they start arguing that just another "one" will do no harm, or they can "handle" it, they will revert back to being a drug addict - 100 percent guaranteed.
I would think very carefully about marrying an ex-drug addict, and then only after they stayed clean for at least 12 months.
(I once had a friend who married an ex-alcoholic. Shortly after their wedding, his wife started drinking again, and they both died less than 1 year after getting married.)

Everybody deserves a chance.I was a usuing drug addict for 20 yrs and have been clean and sober for 5 yrs.Sure there is a possibility that an addict will go back to using.You have to figure out whether or not you are willing to take the chance.

Yes they can quit taking drugs forever but it is a life long struggle. I don't think that you ever get over the craving for that feeling the drugs gives you. You have to also think of yourself. . . .most addictive drugs build up a certain point that the person becomes tolerant of them and have to take more and more to get the same affect. Do you want to spend your life in emergency rooms and icu's with your spouse due to overdosing?

well i can answer this truthfully. i was a drug addict, i became addicted to cocaine when i was 12. yes i know that really young but i grew up on the streets. Ive been through rehab twice. I'm clean now and haven't touched any form off illicit drugs for awhile. if there willing to clean themselves up then go for it. they might still get urges to turn back to the drugs when things get rough but keep the communication up and when there going through a bad patch stay strong and stick with them, get there spirits up so they don't have to rely on drugs for the boost they want.

When you say class1, do you mean heroin and crack? Yes they can quit, yes they can stay off them forever, but it's impossible to know for sure. What are the side effects? Your wife or husband probably won't be obese, but you'll always be wondering what they're up to, and whether they're going to end up going back to drugs...

depend on how you feel about the drug using person and how he feel about you. If he/she's willing, then quitting drug forever is possible, and if there's no need to go back then they won't. Worst case scenario is that you join in on the 'fun'.

Bottom line is if you don't know, don't marry the person. You could be setting yourself up for some real heart ache in the future.
