((Nicegirl)) - welcome to SR!

You've already gotten some great advice, but I wanted to welcome you here. I, too, am a recovering crack addict - will have 3 years next month. My bf, however, couldn't/wouldn't stop using, so I had to leave him for MY sake, despite how much I loved him.

I also have family members who have, or are, dealing with addiction issues, so I know both sides of the fence. Please take care of you. I love ((Coffee's) analogy of the path because that's exactly what it is..you have a path to follow..so does he. I highly recommend you both find sources of support, other than each other. It really does help to have someone who "gets" you. I couldn't be my XABF's (ex addict boyfriend's)main supply of support, even if he'd wanted to get help, because I've got "baggage" I'm carrying around and I'm not objective enough.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy
