Q: Drugs destroy a life long love affair

Shocked

I've waited for years for God to place a man in my life that I felt would be the ONE. The bells rang the birds sang everthing that I thought love would bring . Then it happened on one celebrated night a drink came across the table and I sent it back later that evening when we said good night I could smell the alcohol on his breath. This was the beginning of a chapter I never wanted to read. Within two weeks I began to see the change in his body becoming smaller the loss of muscle. Then as the weeks went on more and more drinking, friends from no where begain calling. Then he would just have attitude constantly. He would ask for money to pay bills others would tell me that they loaned him money. For me the end was when he stood next to me in church and asked for money to buy drugs. This is when I really knew that the Devil was alive and a liar. It has broken my heart that this has happen to a good man but I can;t seem to tell him that it's over or that the wedding is off. I know that I can not marry this drug, for right now that is what is in esistance the drug not the man. How I can continue to deal with this and what can I do to help him. I have found that a drug user is one of the worlds best liars. My heart is brolen and my soul parted from his, Yes I do love this man but I love God and myself more. I can not allow this man to bring me down with the usage of drugs and loose everything that I have for the pleasure of having a mate. This is a hard pill to swallow. It is like a dream that I just can not awaken from. If there are suggestions I would love to hear them.

Ok hun so you need to help him if he wants to be helped.....Take him to see a counselor...maybe you could sit in with him.....Of course this depends on him wanting to change and you wanting to help him if you love him....Good luck...Jenny

I was never with my guy when he had his drug problem. But I am dealing with his addictions today.

My boyfriend was a herion addict and a binge drinker. He was always honest about it to me about the pain he feels and the struggle it is even now 9 years later not to just give it one last go.

2 years ago he had a relapse while he was on the road (after I rejected his advancements). I told him he can have the booze or me but he could never have both. He has a one drink maximum and luckily has never gone back to the binge drinking. He hasn't done herion in 9 years.

Sometimes it takes a life altering event to make them see the light. It took the birth of his child for him to finally quit. He talks about how hard it sometimes not just pick up and kiss the bottle, to make his troubles go away. He battles with it everyday. He has to have the will to do it.

My advice to you if you do decide to stay and with him while he gets help and after that YOU have a good support system. Whether it be your church, family or friends just someone you can talk to because if you are both crumbling it isn't much help to recovery. But he has to want to you cannot make him.

I hope everything works out well for you. And God bless.

don't think about the relationship part. if you care for him you should try to get him help. you have to tell him that you can not live like this. even if you don't marry him, you have to try to help him. if he doesn't want that help, then at least yo u tried.
i wouldn't be strong enough to stick it out with someone like that, only because i feel emotionally drained from the last ex.

Helpful Advice on having faith in Christ
Hello,
I would like to help by saying that i have just overcome a drug addiction that has plagued me for the past 2 years. It has been one of the worst experiences of my life, and has altered the world i lived him, but with the power of Christ, and with His undying love i have seen the Light. Drugs destroy lives. This is fact, they take away the very taste of life, the very good inside us. I believe that you should help this man. If you feel that you can't love him anymore, and can't dedicate the rest of your life to him, which is VERY understandable, then don't. After all, this is devotion for the rest of your life, till death would you part, marriage is still serious, it is the proposal to an eternity together. As we are one with our faith, so must one be with their soul mate. I ask you to consider the details, and carefully reconsider your relationship with this man. Then consider your love, and see what you can make of it.
If anything is true, any of these feelings, then you should find a purpose. Move forward with life and help this man in his time of need, as I'm sure he would do for you. Drugs are an eternal agonizing torment,where one is lost, but as we know through Christ, can be found again. I hope that the Lord Almighty grants you peace in this hard time.

Have Faith in God.
