Welcome to SR freddyb. I'm glad you reached out for some help.

You are not alone. You'll find plenty of others are in the same situation. Visiting the Friends & Family forums is a good idea too. Many there will understand what you're going through.

Hi freddy-also from the uk! I really feel
For you-it must be very difficult for you. In my experience people only help themselves when they are ready-all trying to save her will do is drain you of energy. You are not a bad person if you leave. Addiction is a dictator-you cannot control this. Xx

Welcome as well, freddy. It is terribly difficult loving an addict, but the fact you have stuck with her for years means you love her very much. If she is going to change, she has to really WANT it.
good luck.
