Hello, newbie here.
Hello all. My name is Anika. I am currently in a five year relationship with my girlfriend who told me about almost 3 years ago she had been using meth behind my back for what she says was 9 months but come to find out, it was much longer.
I have an older sister addicted to meth for 15 years now (who will never get help for herself) also my mother did it as well. I have never done any drug except smoke weed. I never thought I would have to deal with this in my personal relationship. It's one thing when it's within family, I had to to move away and all. But when you find out you're significant other is struggling from it too. I was devasted. It's been so hard and exhausting. I feel broken down into a million pieces.
I am all she has. She has no relationship with her family (came from a very abusive home) and doesn't have any friends. It's so hard. I know I need to leave her and she has to do it on her own but I am so afraid of even losing her more. What if she doesn't find the strength to do it and come back
To me? She says she can do some kind of outpatient program cause she wants to keep her job but I really think its just an excuse cause she is afraid.
I feel like I could write a novel here. And this was suppose to be an introduction post, ha ha. Sorry about that.
Looking forward to meeting some really nice, supportive friends here. Thank you

Welcome Neeks. There is so much information around here, it's overwhelming at first. There is yet another forum here, this one is for abusers of substances other than alcohol, and meth fits into that description.
Fear was the big thing that kept me addicted too. I hope that you and your partner can find the courage you need to see this thing through. Best to you, Anika.
