A few years later I was doing pain pill every day, and snorting heroin whenever I could get my hands on it. I lost my grandfather, who was like a father to me and this launched me into a state of depression that also fueled my drug addiction. Everything became worse! I too told my girlfriend that I thought she could do much better than me because I felt like a junkie. I really felt depressed all the time, partly because of the chemical changes my body was going though, due to my abuse of opiates. I finally got help and I have been sober now for 9 months! I'm still with my girlfriend and we are getting married in september. My life came back together once I got help.

So, I don't think your boyfriend wants to break up with you. From what I've read and understood from you, it seems like this is just a subliminal cry for help. I think he needs you now, more than ever. As I said, I got help… but only because I had a strong woman by my side who helped me, encouraged me and stayed on my back! lol.

I hope I was of some help Jessilyn :-)
