Question by visjac: My boyfriend is struggling with drug addiction. What is the best way to help him?
I have been with him for almost 5 years and the last two he has gotten into drugs. He knows he has a problem but really doesn’t want help. He thinks he can beat this on his own. I am pretty deep into our relationship and have made my last stand. Either he gets help or I’m gone. I understand only he can help himself but I’m growing concerned for his safety and the safety of his family. What is the best way to handle the situation?

Eventually, he will come to the realization that he has to get help. Maybe if you do leave him, it will push him to do so. But all in all, he has to WANT the help.
