How Do I Support My Boyfriend, and Ex-Drug Addict.?
Question by ashjmy5: How do i support my boyfriend, and ex-drug addict.?
I havn’t been w/ my boyfriend to long. But i care about him soo so much.. He is an ex-drug addict. He has been to jail twice for this, done a lot of really really bad things, that i can’t even mention.. Now.. he has been out of jail for 8 months, and was ordered by court to go to rehab for four.. so he has been out of that for four months now.. he has been sober from all this for 15 months now. The reason i am concerned, is not because i don’t trust him.. i know he can do this, he is a born again christian, and has done a complete 360. But most of his friends smoke weed, or some pop pills.. i am just afraid this is a bad influence on him, but i can’t tell him waht to do. do you have any advice on how to support him in this matter? Also he has recently decided to give up drinking, because he’s afraid of it being an addiction like drugs were. and also all his friends drink all the time, and when they come over thats what they do. Again, i just need to know how to support him.
He has told me that he would prefer if he stops drinking that i could do it to. because it would really help him. (see i only drink if i go out,, which is only a couple times a month) I told him this wouldn’t be a problem, i will do anything to help him out.. i am doing the right thing right? it’s not going to be hard for me to stop drinking at all.. i don’t drink much as it is. .. and i have never smoked anything. so that’s not a problem.. He’s an amazing person, and since he has turned to god, a lot of prayers have been answered. he’s down the right path, and i want to keep him there.
another thing.. i am just really scared.. i am falling for him, and i don’t want to get hurt w/ him just going and falling back into it.. plus i have a son (one year old boy) and i am trying to be extra cautious for my son’s sake.. i don’t want us to get hurt.. I trust dominick completely.. i guess i just need to pray about it, and let god lead him through this. I would never put my son in a bad situation… and dominick is amazing w/ him, and he treats me like an angel.

It sounds like you are doing all you can to help him and support him on his road to recovery. Just take things one day at a time and ask God to give you patience and wisdom. If he has truly given his life to the lord, he will be fine. Good luck and I hope you two will enjoy a wonderful life together.
