Firstly, this site is a God send. So grateful to be able to get info like this. My issue: I've been seeing someone since February. I knew he had an addiction to pain pills from his recent past stemmed from an injury. Well, in the last month, I have found out he is using again. Roxies. Something I'm not very familiar with until I started researching. I am actually aware that it is a big deal. As of last night, I learned he is snorting app 30Mg a week. I've caught him, i.e. found his stash. Now the truth is out, thank God. He wants to quit. My concern is this....our relationship is so new, we don't have a strong foundation. He asked me to be by his side, to "help" him quit. I know enough about addiction as I had an alcoholic father, a crack addict brother, an opiate addicted God son, etc, to know this is a long hard road. I know an addict can only quit for themselves. Idk if I hadn't found out that he would be quitting anyway. Should I stand by him & help him thru this or should I step aside & let him battle this out for himself? Idk if I'm strong , we are stuttering enough to go thru this inevitable battle? Please, someone advise me here. I'm scared of what's to come. For him & for us.
