Here we go… I am an ex meth addict. I have been clean for about 4 1/2 years excluding a few slips in between. I know how hard it is to beat such a debilitating addiction and I hold a soft spot for those seeking recovery.
About 6 months ago I started dating an old friend who is in the process of becoming clean. I love this man with all my heart and want nothing more than for him to succeed. My only issue is that he has had a couple slips. I have seen him slip up 2 or 3 times since we have been together (in the past 6 mos). On a couple other instance I have suspected him of being high.
My question is how long should I try and help him?? I know he wants to be clean. He has been using meth for about 7 years, so I know its hard. Furthermore, when I see that he is high, how should I approach the conversation and what should I say??
I really want him to succeed, how can I help him recover?? Am I dumb for sticking around??
