Thank you so much for your reply. I'm beginning to think he may not be addicted to the drug itself but the lifestyle etc. that comes with it. I don't think he has a physical addiction yet but he does have a drug problem. In the sense that he has had so many negative consequences as a result of that lifestyle but he still does not want to give it up.
He is in trouble with work (think he has left for good) and he has run away and his landlord is getting people calling round looking for money he owes. I am at a stage now where I am ignoring texts (well he has stopped now since I wouldn't let him "say goodbye") because he needs to hit rock bottom before he'll see that it's a problem but I'm afraid he never will as long as he's running from it
I think he is still in a stage where he is not addicted as such but he is enjoying it too much to stop regardless of the consequences. Is there a term for this? Or is it mental addiction maybe?
Part of me is thinking its not the drugs at all.
