Alcohol and Drug Addictions in a Relationship?

Question by industrialvenom: Alcohol and Drug Addictions in a Relationship?
My boyfriend of almost 2 years has pot and alcohol addictions. When we first started dating i knew he smoked pot and i understood he drank more then occasionally. but being with him for 2 years and currently living with him has shown me the full extent of the addiction. He was once in an AA type program for teenagers and was sober for a few years, but when he moved back with his family he reverted back to drugs. He likes to try and rationalize his usage to me (including recreational coke, RX drugs and shrooms) and is in complete denial. We’ve had plenty of fights over this and i just end up “dealing” with it. He loves me alot but i feel his addictions take higher status over me alot of the time. (being too drunk/high to call me or be on time for plans) He’s now 24 and i dont see him “growing out” of this anytime soon. Its hard for me to keep compromising my morals for someone who isnt going to try and change. Is it worth it to try and “save” him and the relationship?

you need to give him his space to grow up….it may hurt but, you need to leave him to his own problems…you have your own life to grow and take care of… …he needs to fall on his face on his own and you dont need to be there to pick him up… …because it will only cripple him…if you love him…you will leave him….good luck
