Im dating a heroin addict i need help

i have been dating a guy for 3 n a half years now, and when i met him he was addicted to heroin, he cleaned up, but now i find out that he has started using again, and when i say using i mean every day. i dont no what i can do to help him, or wether i should stay with him due to all the lies. can he get clean and stay clean, or am i just hoping he will?

You need to give him as much support as you can, and don't give him funds....this will just make it easier for him, and in his mind, you are justifiying it.

But in the end, if this addiction is starting to affect your life too, then maybe it is time to give him an ultimatum. Tell him, it's you or the drugs. It's so hard, but you have to think of yourself and your own wellbeing too in this one.

Make sure he knows that you will give him all the support he needs if he decides to clean up!! But please realise it won't be easy, and he probably won't always be a nice person to be around.

I was addicted to crack cocaine when i was 15. I had to get to rock bottom before i realised that i just couldn't live like that anymore!!!

YES he can get clean, and YES he can stay clean. But until he admits to himself that he has a problem, and truly WANTS to stop, he won't. There is nothing anyone can say or do to try and stop him. I'm speaking from an addicts mind.

I had great friends and family try to help me when i was using, but NO WAY would they be able to stop me. Whatever they said i would appreciate, but not even consider taking their advice. This is the control the drug has over an addict.
