Well thanks for all the replies when I need them most he's gone out and got high didn't come home last night I'm furious. I don't know what to do I love him but I cannot live this way anymore. He keeps promising to stay clean but it only last about a week or so. I kicked him out last time but I love him what do I do

I've been through recovery twice and must of just had the will to just quit and to me it came easy but to other I know its not that easy. But he has a choice to make me or meth he said he chose me but last night worried me because he said he didn't want to get clean and just wanted to give up but he doesn't want to lose me he's been clean for a little over a week I just don't know how to handle it when he's actually being honest about wanting to get high every thing I said to encourage him just made him more upset and the meetings don't seem to ne helping much

This is a tough deal.....How long has he been sober?  The tough thing about this addiction and especially in recovery is it is 100% personal.  No matter how much you love him or wish him good will, at the end of the day he is going to do what he wants to do....I am a firm believer in not enabling him and try to get him to a meeting.....Good luck with this!
