Good morning, Mistijen, Welcome to SR!

First, I'm just so sorry you are hurting from the breakup with this man you love. It is horrifying what addiction turns a kind loving person into.

The sad and unfortunate truth is that he will not seek recovery unless and until *he* decides it's a problem. I wish I had magic words to tell you to get him to realize what he is doing and turn his life around, but I don't. There are none.

I have family members and friends who are active in their alcoholism and drug addiction. The only thing I can do is tell them I love them, encourage them when I can to do the next right thing, and pray that someday they will reach out and work for sobriety with everything they have.

Sending light and good thoughts to your ex and to you! Hang in there...
