He said last night that he originally relapsed because of depression and that crack isn't really the biggest problem.
ermagad. well then if that is the case then stopping the crack shouldn't be a problem at all! easy peasy lemon squeezy!
it's probably time to stop engaging in these discussions with him. if he spouts this crap AND there's an audience, even one that doesn't agree with his, um, rationale, then it helps to validate his messed up thinking.
denial is a very powerful force.
hope you are doing ok.
