New Member and confused...

I'm not too sure how to use this, or where to even begin. I recently broke up with my boyfriend of two years. He was an opiate addict. I am still very much in love with him and it's been killing me inside not to be able to be with him. I don't know what to do anymore..I don't know what the right thing to do even is. Can I share my story? Do I post it here, or somewhere else on this site?

Welcome!

Of course, you can post here. The Newcomers Forum is always a welcoming place.

I'm sorry for your situation and I hope your boyfriends gets help for himself. Have you considered NarAnon for yourself?

You are welcome here. There is a friends and families of substance abusers forum which is probably the most logical place for your story:

Friends and Family of Substance Abusers - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Thank you

Thank you everyone =) I attended my first Naranon meeting this morning. Honestly, it made me a bit more confused than I already was. But I am definitely going to continue going.

I go to my AA meetings and my wife goes to Al-Anon. Makes life a lot easier.

Wishing you the best.
