Please, do not think that anything you do or say is making him use drugs. When I was using, I would use anything as an excuse....good day? I'd use; bad day? I'd use; feeling guilty...same thing. As long as he wants to keep using, he will find an "excuse" to keep doing so.

And as far as understanding the mind of an addict....forget it. I am a recovering addict and I can't understand how drugs got such a hold on me; I just know they did.

If he ever tries to tell you that something you did or said made him use, it's only his denial. I had all kinds of reasons why I used. When I got into recovery, I realize that I used because I wanted to be high, and the consequences of my using hadn't gotten bad enough to quit.

Put your focus back on YOU, sweetie, and let him find his own way.

Hugs and prayers!
