I've been with him for a week & 15.
He used to be a HUGE DRUG ADDICT =/
He says he's gone clean [off of drugs] for me! =]
As happy as I am for him,
I know the minute a break up with him,
He'll start doing it ALL over again! =/
I'm scared for him.. Why does he do that to himself?!
=[

maybe once he'll see how much better it is being off them, he'll want to do it for himself!
Well an addiction is an addiction; once you're addicted your body becomes dependant on it. If he's willing to fight it to be with you, then he must realize how lucky of a guy he is to have you =)

when gets off drugs it should be b/c he cares for his health, if he does it 4 u its an attempt to get u 2 stay.
some addicts i know have found other things to do instead of drugs, the reason for their addiction is b/c they don't know how to handle things in moderation. when or if u leave he might start up again but that means only that his drugs were priority over you. if he really cared he would stop so he could be around long enough to be w/ u

Wow, I know a week in teenage land is a long time, but seriously if the dude is a drug addict then get rid of him. You know there is actually some truth to what adults say about drugs and people who use drugs. The guy is a loser and if he can't stop doing drugs for the simple fact that it rots your brain and is illegal then ditch him.

Well what is the question here? He stopped doing drugs for you and you want to be with him. It sounds like everything is fine. If you want to break up with him..don't let your fear of him starting drugs again get in the way. You can't help it..you have to live your own life. Its as simple as that!

Assuming you want to break up with him, you need to talk to him and tell him how you feel. If you don't, then i dont see a reason to think about this, but here are some things to think about if u want to....:1. When you break up if he starts doing it again it means he is feeling insecure about the situation and that maybe he doesn't feel wanted and so finds and outlet for his stress thru drugs.also, he probably didnt have a good enough foundation at home and got caught up in peer pressure.

How old is HE? If he's anywhere near your age, it's crazy that he's already a recovering drug addict. Just live your life, if he treats you well & you want to be with him, stay with him. You cannot worry about what might happen to him if/when you guys break up. It's not your responsibility.

Alissa,
Why are you putting yourself into that situation? He needs professional help. Love does not conquer addiction. He needs to realize that he is and addict and find the proper help. Help him find the proper help if you love him and give him time to learn about himself without the drug. May be you will have a chance with him when after the therapies

i really don't think he's gone clean off of them for you especially if its only been a week. true drug addicts take time and therapy and willpower to quit and then yes you are right they often relapse. is he just telling you what you want to hear or could it be that he was never that into them but was making it look like that to get props from his friends?

My guess would be that he started it because of curiosity or peer pressure and he's ust addicted now. Or maybe he does it when he's sad or depressed. Don't worry about what may happen if you break up. Take things a step at a time.
=) good luck

Unfortunately, drug addicts can not stop using for someone. They have to stop for themselves. If he truly stopped for you, he will eventually do them again...no matter how hard you try to be there for him. Explain how you feel, if you really really like him...talk! Be there for him, be his friend. In NA (narcotics Anon) you have to go the distance of the steps...is he going to meetings? Is he talking to a sponsor...these are serious and good questions to start with him.
Good Luck
