sick and tired
Well its my first day on this site. I can't do it alone . I am an addict and my life just seems like it's going no where. My relationship is in shambles. All we do is fight when we use but are so In love when we are sober. I love him so much but the drugs cause paranoia. And he accuses me of being a liar when I'm not.
Everything thing is suspicious to him. The only way to save us is to get clean and stop using. Our whole life is chaos. We can't pay the rent because we spent the money. And we are broke.
I guess I'm just venting and just ready for some help.

Hey presli, Welcome to the Forum, great to have you onboard!! 
Addiction can be destructive on so many levels, especially when it comes to relationships, but making the decision to be Sober is the first step in the journey.
We all had to start with a Day 1, everyone of us on this site, and you'll find loads of support here to help you do it!!

Presli, your story is so familiar with most addicts that are couples. Find an NA or AA meeting and get plugged in! True peace and happiness can be found, but it takes doing the work.
Wishing you both the best!

Hi and welcome Presli
I absolutely agree that getting clean will help you sort out the mess you're in.
If your partner is a user too that makes it harder, but not impossible.
There's a lot of sober support, experience and wisdom here - glad you found us

I'm feeling so much better now with the replies I've gotten. Thank you everyone. I have Hope!
I've gotten clean before so I know I can do it. I told my partner that I joined a group. I'm not sure if that was a good idea. He had no response. I told him I wasn't using Any more . He said neither was he. He is mad at me. He thinks I lied to him when I didn't. But we always fight during and after partying. .
I Made dinner. Relaxing watching TV.
I will not use tonight! . And I will rest and say my serenity prayer and hope tomorrow is better.

Welcome, Presli,
I'm glad you've made the decision to stop.
It's best if you don't give your partner information about SR because it will likely prevent you from being open and honest here, in case he reads it.
