My Boyfriend Has a Drug Addiction!?

Question by valerie: my boyfriend has a drug addiction!?
i just found out that my boyfriend has been doing meth every weekend. he has always had a problem with meth long before i got with him. but he told me he would get help. i thought he was doing ok, though he did it every once in a while i thought he was starting to try. i have already left him once for this and he said he quit and i really thought he did. i think he did for a while but he decided that since he had been doing good that it was ok for him do a little bit. he thinks doing a dime is not a big deal.
i really need some advice. we have been together for a year and he just wont stop. i want him to go to rehab but i dont know how to talk him into going. i live in fort worth texas, so if anyone knows of a good place for him to go or if there is a way to have him taken by someone else where he has no choice, please tell me, im so lost.

He needs an intervention like on tv. Interventions do work.
Addicts cannot stop on their own they need help.

Answer by Holenka
Okay, first of all, OF COURSE he’s going to say he’s going to quit. That’s what they ALL say. They will tell anyone anything to get them off their back about it.

He won’t quit without real help. And if he won’t go into a place to get help, then leave him. Because he will not quit no matter what you say. You’ve only been together for a year anyway. Don’t get any further with him until you get this straightened out. It would be a terrible mistake.
