Crack Addiction

[cami357]

how do you help someone who smokes crack will tell you its cocaine but definately not crack and i know he smokes crack (he was arrested with a crack pipe) he was good for 2 weeks cleaning the house and playing with the kids did not leave the house at all for 2 weeks.  Today he looked high as a kite on crack and i called him out and i dont know if i should tell him i will help him through it because he did so good for 2 weeks or just to tell him to get out of my life for good.  I have 3 children and i have to think of them but i love this stupid man for what he has done to our family.

Sweetie, I take the risk to sound very harsh. Get out of there asap!!! Think about your kids and you 1st. There's NO WAY for you to get him clean unless he reeeeeeally wants it. And when I read you, I sure don't get the impression.... Crack is so difficult to kick off, Forget about your love for him and think about the love you have for your children. All the best to you. xoxoxox. sophie.

I have to agree with Sophieshine on this one. Your kids are what really matters. He may in fact be buying coke and cooking it and this way he is justifying himself as not being on crack Whatever he is smoking coke and crack heads and freebasers are the same thing in the end.

Please think about it Tell him to get help and work on him and maybe one day there can be a you and him together again but you can not handle that in your life at this point. i would hesitate on saying it is due to kids to him as well he may try to lay blame on the kids to take the focus off of HIM and his situation. He will not however stop until as said he gets ready.

Good Luck

I agree with phoenixrisin,

You need to tell him with support around you that you love him but do not and will not tolerate the drug use. Find friends or family that you can stay with who will protect you and tell him to choose you and your family or the drug. BUT it is important to PRAY for him because without prayer, there is not much hope for a crack addict to recover. I would advise that if you don't already have a relationship with JESUS CHRIST that you visit www.cbn.com to begin a real relationship with a God who loves you and him. God instantly set me free from cocaine, pot, meth, alcohol and porn within one day. If HE can do it for me, HE can do it for him, BUT I had people praying for me who never gave up on me. The only way to regain true control of your family with him as a part truly is by having a REAL relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also important to find a church that follows the truth of the holy bible, and preferbly one that has christian counsel available for your entire family. I pray you and your family all of God's best, but it starts with YOU and prayer. Please check out CBN.COM and give God an honest try because HE will not let you down......I guarantee it!

There is noting that you can do to help a crack addict or any addict for that matter.  You have no control over the addict's addiction; you did not cause the addiction and you can not cure your loved one's addiction.  All you can do is seek help for yourself.  If you truly love this person, STOP enabling him.  That is harder said then done.  Find yourself an Al-Anon meeting in your city and attend regularly.  Lean everything you can about your loved one's disease. My husband is a crack addict and a meth addict.  I have tried everything under the sun to help him; in patient, out patient, church, NA, support groups, church mentors you name it I tried it.  I even had a Priest to perform an exorcism.  LOL.  My point is, YOU can not help someone who does not want help.  When the addict gets sick and tired of being sick and tired, he/she will seek and get help.  

Take care and God Bless.

You can do nothing for him. You have to know its always your choice to makew a choice. He has to hit his bottom to change and some never do and end up in jail where thye have to kick it on their own. But you need to be respondable here for you and your kids. You will not die of a broken heart but you may die at a crack addict hands. Simpñy he loves the crack more than you or your kids in his state of mind.

when someone is smoking coke, they are not themselves. it is like someone else is wearing their skin. until they are clean for a good while, they cannot be trusted, period.
best wishes. my prayers go out for you. peace, sway
