Smile Brand new

Hello. I am the adult child of alcholics and partnered to someone who uses pot addictively. Meaning the pot comes before rent, stuff gets hocked- the behaviors are the same as the behaviors of other addicts I have been in relationship with. I am reaching a breaking point and am looking for support and community.

Thanks gaah

Hi, Octavia. Welcome to SR! This is a great supportive community, glad you are here. There's also a section in here for ACOAs (adult children of alcoholics). In fact, I just posted in there today, as I'm one myself! Sorry to hear you are struggling with your partner... maybe you can hang around here and get the support you need

Welcome Octavia! I hope you get the support you need (and that your partner gets the support he/she needs). Take very good care of yourself through all this.

Hi and welcome Octavia

as your partner has a problem, you could also check out the Family and Friends forums too.

You can also stay right here

Wherever you post, you'll find a ton of support wisdom and experience
