Im dating a heroin addict i need help
He will only make u miserable and ruin your life as well as his.
Leave him.
He can get clean and stay clean, but only if he wants to. I've know addicts and I've known recovering addicts - it is possible for someone to overcome their addiction and lead a normal, happy life.
But, it has to be HIM that wants it - it won't work if he doesn't 100% want to get clean. You've got to ask yourself if you are willing to stick around while he decides what he wants.
3 and half years is a long time, and you are probably experiencing all sorts of emotions - sure its easy for people to say "he is an addict, leave him" but it isn't that simple. One thing I will say, is that you mustn't let his addiction affect you. If you choose to stay with him, set rules - no heroin in your presence, you want no contact with his addict friends. You also should make sure that you don't facilitate his drug traking - don't lend him money etc.
If you want more support for YOU, you can get in touch with nar non at http://nar-anon.org/index.html
Hope this helps, and remember there is no rush, take some space and time before you make your descision.
Hello,
(ANS) The problem with heroin is its incredibly incredibly addictive & is extremely extremely hard to truely kick the habit. Some users of heroin have a physical addiction as well as a psychological addication but in reality the two may be impossible to seperate one from another.
