I identify with you whole heartedly. I am not a herion addict but an alcoholic who hooked up with an addict in recovery. Not smart. He became my very best friend in the world when before I knew it, he was using again...no signs, no honesty, no nothing but I know what I know. I don't want to lose him either. I am scared too. I feel alone and betrayed and I want to be able to help but know from my own experience that I can't help him. He has to want it for himself. Do I jeprodize my sobriety to stay? Do I cut him loose to protect myself? Will it be attraction to get clean again if he see's that it can work if he wants it to? So many questions. I love him so much. Will my staying in his life help him to not isolate? If anyone believes in the power of prayer I think this may help. Any advice or words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Addiction is not easy and loving an addict is not the end of the world. Maybe we were all put in eachothers lives for a reason. Blessings to all.
