This is my first post.
I stumbled across this site whilst seeking information on recovering from addiction.
I have a partner (four months) who is a recovering heroin addict. Whilst I have deep feelings for my partner when he is 'norm' mode, I am beginning to feel trapped as he is more in the 'abnorm' mode than he is the 'norm' mode.
He is highly anxious, very aggressive and harms himself often.
I am experiencing great difficulty coping with his unstable behaviour, let alone helping him.
I'm hoping to gain insight into what/how my man is feeling, and what I can do to help him.

Thanks for reading, Cheers.
