I just wanted to post this to get it out. No one has to reply. I posted a while ago about helping a friend who was coming off of heroin. He was an ex boyfriend. I just wanted to say that I politely told him that I wanted to him to be happy, and that I wanted me to be happy too, and that against his hopes, we aren't and never will get back together. He isn't taking it well to say the least.

But I did it for me. I stayed with it long enough to make sure he was okay in his recovery. I made sure that for the time being, he would still be okay. I question my decision every day since, but I know deep down it was for the best. He has since told me the past 3 years have been the biggest waste of his life waiting on me. What he doesn't and will never realize was that I was waiting on him to step up and be the man I knew he could be. But it never happened and he decided to get addicted to heroin in the mean time. I would be an absolute fool to ever consider going back to that. I've saved his life a number of times. Literally and metaphorically. I know it wasn't a waste.

I just thought I would say that.

sorry for the double post. I'm trying to figure out how to delete the other one.

You have done the right thing, keep your resolve and put one foot in front of the other, moving in the right direction...for you.

It sucks, but sometimes you have to say "I care about you and hope you have a really happy life - but you have to have it without me".
