Question Hello all

Hello,

I have joined here and I am here because my fiancé has a coke addiction I've supported him with this for some time now but it seams to be affecting our relationship now. He dissapears hours sometimes days and lies about where he is when he's coming home. It has now started to affect my life as I am do worried about him I have lost days at work over this and it really isn't fair. Can people change???? How does coke affect you???? Any advice would be great or others experience. I want to support him but he is tearing our family apart and hurting people who care. Many thanks

Hi,

I am an Alcoholic and don't have any experience with this type of drug.

I however can tell you that until he decides and admits he has an issue then you will remain on the roller coaster ride and the pain this relationship is causing you. For what I know coke is like any other addiction. When someone is in denial they will tell anything to justify their addiction.

A great option is the friends and family section, they will be able to provide you with other side of the fence of addiction feedback.

Best wishes

I'm really sorry for your situation Leggyloo, but I'm glad you've found us. There's a lot of support and understanding here

I think people can change - but they have to want to change.

It can be really hard on the loved ones while the addict is lost in active addiction.

Thats why places like SR are so good

There are face to face support groups too - have you heard of NarAnon at all?

Glad to meet you Leggyloo. You found a great place for help.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through, but you aren't alone with this. I hope you will check out the Friends & Family forum as Patman suggested.

Welcome to the Forum Leggyloo!!

People can change but it needs to come from them, he has to want this for himself or nothing will change.
