I don't have advice, as I was the crackhead in my relationship.. however I'm just compelled to ask why you would want to be with someone who disappears on crack binges? If he's not in jail or dead, next time he could be. When is it unacceptable to YOU to have this in your life?

Welcome, CNice. When you get a minute to calm down, take a read around and maybe it will help you to see what has worked or not worked for most of us.

We may not be able to do anything about their addiction, but we can find a better way of living for ourselves. Sounds easy, I know it took me forever to take my focus off my son's addiction and put it on my own recovery, but once I did, I was able to breathe again and live a happier life.

Glad you joined us, hope you'll stick around and keep sharing.

Hugs

Welcome C,
My husband didn't stop using crack until he got arrested and spent 2 years in a state prison. And when he finally got arrested, I was so relieved. I knew he was safe, and so was I.
You can't stop his use. You need to focus on you.

welcome c, glad you found us, sorry about your bf. my husband is a crack addict too. i also agree with the others. he's not gonna stop until he's ready until thin, his addiction will get progressively worse.

time to focus on you. you and yours are in my prayers.

WELCOME C!! Glad you're here... this place is full of information and support.
Be sure to read the sticky posts at the top of the forum... especially "What Addicts Do".
The more you learn about addiction, the better choices you'll be able to make.

Keep reading and posting! It will help you so much as you sort things out.
