I just wanted to Welcome you to SR.
As you are new to this whole thing I am not going to bombard
you with anything at this point. Others have given you lots
of their experience with their loved ones addictions. As you
continue to read here you will see that it is progressive...
you will rarely read ..."oh he isn't drinking too much and has cut
way back on the coke use and life is good..." doesn't happen that way.
As you can see from my member information I have been here for
awhile and have contributed a lot of my own experiences and thoughts
via my posts. I never wanted my ex fiancee to lose himself to his
addiction either.....but it really is out of our hands.....
