My son was 19.  He used cocaine intravenously for 3 years, particularly heavy the last year.  One night he was alone, had a lot of coke, and couldn

My ex-husband is a meth (crank) addict and all I can tell you is each person has to "hit Bottom" and the "bottom" is different for each of us.Maybe you should leave for a while because seeing him like this can be and is very painful to you.This might bring him around and then again it might not,but either way YOU need to live your life.I'm not trying to say leave him for good but get some distance for your own sanity.Of course you want to help him because you love him,but are you willing to get lost in this? At this point he may just be getting started,because addiction never ends but addicts can stop using but they (we) will always be addicts.Like they say an alcoholic can never drink again just like an addict can never do drug again it's a lifelong struggle.Until he sees things around him change for the worst like jail,losing you a job,etc. the coke will be the "Love of HIS life".I wish you all the best because you in for a long ride.

The love of my life has been using coke  now for 7 months every day, almost non stop. He has also of money and there is nothing stopping him. I have tried everything to try and get him to face what he is doing but nothing seems to work. I beg you all if any one knows how I can get through to him or what I can do to help him please tell me. I could not go on if he dies. This has been the most painful time in my life and I grew up being sexually abused. I would rather go through that hell again then this one. I just dont know what to do. Please some one help me! Any and all suggestions are welcome

I for one agree with you. Maybe some people do this because they feel too deeply? A question to pondered. Move closer to the top of the posts. You may get over looked way down here.

Reading through this discussion, and thinking back to a conversation that myself and some once very close friends had,
I have suddenly rememberd what was said.

It seems that all the people with drug addictions, perhaps that we knew or even read about seemed to have an almost open and careing side that had been "awoken" by mis-use of drugs.

Once some time ago, I met a guy who was the biggest Coke dealer in our town, I dident meet him through drugs, I met him in a pub. Hell" I dident even know who he was at the time,

he wasent a nice guy, he stole, he cheated, he lied...and eventually he got arressted.

But neadless to say from what small dealing I had with him,
on the odd occassion we would meet up for a drink, or perhaps go for a smoke round his place, to me he was an okay guy,
he showed me respect he never tried to cheat me out of anything, and dare I say at times...I miss him !


This has no real relevence to this thread, and I am unsure why I posted this.

All I am really trying to say is that the drug itself is the curse, the person themselves are perhaps a lot deeper inside.
