New here. Introducing myself
My Fiancé is a active addict and I am hoping to be able to share some of my experiences that I have had and to also gain some support from this forum in regards to the difficulties have I have faced.
I plan on reading a fair amount of the information in the threads, though soon enough I will probably post a thread of my own. That way I can feel like I am able to unload some of the heartaches that I have and get some healthy responses from people who can share their wisdom, experiences and hope.
Thanks to all in advance.

Hi, Beets! Welcome to SR! My RABF (recovering addict boyfriend) was addicted to pain pills. My mother is a drug addict, and my father is a drug addict/alcoholic. My step-daughter is a (recovery?) heroin addict.
I know that sounds like a long list, but this site has really healped me learn how to take care of myself and how to work on my issues with codepency. It's helped me learn about setting boundaries and about realizing that I am not the cause of other people's addictions.

Hi Beets and welcome! No matter who the addict is in our lives, SR has experience, support and help for us. I love the unity and the spirit of hope for our loved ones along with the extremely helpful advice which has made a profound difference for me in dealing with my recovering addict son. You will find strength and knowledge which is critical when choosing to deal with an addiction issue.
Hugs and Happy New Year!
