I would appreciate advice from addicts, specifically heroin addicts, but any advice will be great. Little background about me I have knowledge in addiction from education and friends and family, however I am not an addict and truly understand that I could never understand what an addict goes through.
Now a little background about my bf. He had it all before his addiction began. Stereotypical all American boy next door. Started with pills and slowly began I've heroin. He lost all the positive things in his life.
Now our relationship when I met him I had a feeling he was a heroin addict, just wasn't sure if he was active or in recovery. He admitted he was a heroin addict and was previously in treatment, he failed to mention he was in the early stages of a relapse. Eventually after him denying he confided in me that he was using. I tried everything. Ultimatums. Tried being with him ignoring his using. Tried being with him and support his using. Tried being with him and making sure he had subs.
Currently we are on a break. He pretty much ignores me. I know he is continuing to use and is at the lowest point he ever has been. And I do love him and want a future with him but at this point I'm just wanting him to seek treatment before he dies.
The advice I need is, what would be the best approach? Should I go 'cold turkey' and not contact him? Should I give an ultimatum? Should I move on? Should I go to more extremes? Intervention? Thank you I appreciate any thoughts. And remember you are loved even if one cannot understand ur addiction.
