My Boyfriend Is a Recovering Crack Addict. How Do I Best Support Him in His Recovery?

Question by miss b: My boyfriend is a recovering crack addict. How do I best support him in his recovery?
Or, are there any assurances that he won’t relapse? We’re getting really close…I’m thinking that he’s going to propose over the holidays.He was clean and sober before we met, but I understand the 12 step philosophy that there is no recovered addict. I suppose, I just want assurances that y’all can’t give…but I’m asking anyway.
No, “once an addict, always an addict” isn’t true. I work in the mental health field…people can and DO change…it’s a belief one must have, esp. when one is in that profession. And Ihave seen people in my own life who, after they sobered up, stayed that way the rest of their lives
Yes, he was going to NA meetings before we met…he chairs the Friday meeting.
He’s been clean for nearly two years.
