Well, unfortunately, addiction is everywhere, from the woman downstairs to the guy you met.

I also understand the worry, but if there is one thing I do know, he will do whatever he will do. If other people could make him take care of himself (you, his parents), he would already be in recovery, that just doesn't work really. I also hope he gets better.

So what to do? The only way out of that worry is to realize there is nothing you can do. He was an addict long before he met you and carried along with his life and he will continue on that path until he chooses differently, if ever. You didn't Cause it, can't Control it, can't Cure it.

Until you accept that, the worry will continue.
