My boyfriend just told me that he is addicted to Crack Cocaine.. It all makes sense now though, but he hid it very well. I've been with him for ten months and he just told me on valentines day. I dont know whether I can cope with it or not but he keeps telling me how my support means the world to him and how happy he is that I am helping him and how he couldn't do it without me. And I love him and want to help him but I dont know if i should really get involved with this, should I jsut back out now when its not too late? Wow I've never said this outloud. I'm like torn I dont know whether to help him, or end up losing him :-/

Wow what a thing to be told. This is a really hard decision and unfortunately only one that you can make. If you really love him and can see a future with him, then try and help him through it. Its not going to be easy and so you will have to be more than prepared to help him, and be strong enough to deal with it, its asking a lot but it depends on what you want at the end of the day. I know that when I was recovering, I need my friends, my family and every bit of support I could get that included my partner and without them I wouldnt have been able to do it. At the same time do not be pressured into doing something if you cant face it.

Sorry not much help.

Yeah it's completely up to you whether or not you want to stay with him. But if you are, or even if you're not, you should try to get him into a NA program or rehab center immediately. I decided to stay with my boyfriend after two years and he stopped eventually, but I have to admit it was a really hard thing to go through.

I personally would back out now just because I have seen the hell that friends and loved ones go through with an addict. If you feel you can deal with all of that though, and you think this guy is your future, then I guess try to stick it out with him. You can also do this as a friend if possible. I know sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't, depending on how attached you are.

I personally would back out. Try to get over him and just keep away wait for him to get his life on track. And if you feel like you really cant live without him after months of being apart then thats your sign to make it work and that its meant to be.

I think you should be a supporter for him, but as a distance.  The beginning part of recovery is the most crucial time.  You want him to make the decision to quit because he truly wants to, not just to keep you.  He's going to experience withdrawals and those can be very stressful for you too.  You don't want him to rely on you 100%, he needs to discover himself again and work through this so that he has a strong base to work off of. 

I agree with sadiaa he needs to do it for hisself not for you. It wont last long if he does it for you. Tell him you support him but drift away for a while, if you two love each other it will end up working out. Give him time to get his life back on track and this drug out of it. And once your sure then step back in. But drugs are a very hard thing to live with because many many times they end up comming back so just be wise and smart about that and make sure you keep your eyes open. Good luck
