No one is dragging him down, but, him. He is a hard core addict, right now, unless he
embraces a strong recovery program he has no future, and you have no future with him.
There is nothing you can do to help him, help yourself, let him go and move forward with your life. As an addict, he will agree to anything, yet, he will not stop
using, addicts lie, addicts manipulate, addicts seek out and con weak codependent people.
You are too young to waste your life with an addict, do what is right for you, reach out
talk to your family, go to Naranon meetings, accept the reality of the relationship, he is
not Mr. Right.
