Tdp6000,
let me quote you…”unfortunately I have been in this situation before; however, I left that person.”
sugar, that guy that’s smacking you around in all probability ain’t gonna get better, ever. He sure as hell ain’t gonna get better for you! Leave him!
He will pull you down, that is what we do. We lie, we cheat and we steal in order to maintain our access to our drug of choice. And we don’t put the welfare of good people like yourself in front of our getting stoned, not ever.
If you want to help him, the only thing that has a snow balls chance of cutting through the fog of his addiction, is pain. And when I say pain, I mean the crushing and totally devastating kind of total mental pain that only a hopeless addict or alcoholic on the skids knows. It is his only hope. That pain may change his mind about cocaine, but don’t count on it. Most of us die drunk and or stoned.
Look after yourself, there is nothing you can do, or not do that will make so much as a wit of difference. Cut him loose, let him fall. That is the only thing you can do. I suppose you could stick around, get slapped around some more, then have him dump you for some other “user chick” who “understands” him better.
But my advice is, kick his ass to the curb.
Your friend who understands this deal very well,
richard
