well, I can safely say that for me and my A, money is also tight. But an addict does not think of that. An addict only thinks of the addiction and where and how he can satisfy it. There's no point in arguing about money because addicts just don't get it. They don't get that there are more important things than satisfying their need for their drug of choice.
Addicts don't think sensibly because they can't, and there's really no point in trying to make them.
As far as money goes, I've kept my accounts completely separate from my partner's, and when he runs out of money to buy booze, that's it. I will not give him money, no matter what he says it's for because I know damn well what he'll spend it on. You work hard, Bright, and you deserve to pay yourself before you start worrying about his addiction.
Take care of yourself.
