I know I said to run too, but I am also glad that my former boyfriend and now best friend (10 years) didn't run either. When he cornered me about what I was doing and I confessed to smoking crack, IN HIS HOUSE OF ALL PLACES, many people told him to run and he cried for hours. I've never seen a grown man cry like that and it broke my heart. THAT is when I first started to want to stop, but I couldn't. And he's played a huge part in my recovery. I am so glad he did not run.
If he had, I shudder to think where I might be today because we can't do it alone...
Thanks for helping me remember that.
But also, for the guy helping his girlfriend, it has to be really really hard on the person trying to help the addict. It could go quick or it could take years. Take care of YOU first. It may be the best thing to run, or it may be the best thing to help her. Only you know that....
