I'm a recovering addict, and the fact that he says "too bad it's dangerous" tells me he really doesn't want to give up the cocaine yet. Crack was my DOC (drug of choice) and when I tell someone about it now, I say "yeah, the high was great, but it wasn't worth what I did to my life". I don't say "too bad it's illegal (or dangerous). To me it is the most evil thing that has ever happened to my life.
I hope you stick around, and read some posts of others who have spent YEARS dealing with addicts. It's a very hard life, and if the addict continues using, it just gets worse and worse.
It also doesn't seem like he appreciates the fact that his drinking is leading back to cocaine. He seems to be still wanting something to "numb" him. As long as he's doing either (drinking or cocaine) he is avoiding life. Personally, I won't ever be in a relationship with anyone again, who is avoiding life. I left my XABF behind...he's getting close to 50, and has been doing crack since his 20's.
Hugs and prayers!
