I think that if you're going to leave him, you have to be strong enough to to maintain yourself and stand your grounds. If you tell him not that you don't want him to do drugs, then don't let him be around you. Tell him you don't want to be with him unless he's clean. When I'm having trouble with my boyfriend, I just try to keep myself busy with extra homework, working out, shopping, stuff that makes you feel good. Sometimes it's nice to just have some time to yourself or do soemthing fun with your friends. Being in a relationship with a drug user can be really draining and consuming, make sure that you're getting all you need in life!

Hey babydoll I think you should maybe find what's really bothering you. It sounds like you've had this obsession for a long time, when something is bothering me I have to get to the bottom of it or it will just eat me away. Everyone has some type of obsession, or habit which isn't a bad thing but if it's somehting that just overpowers you then maybe its something in your past that happens and its affecting you in a wierd way?

I agree, though we have to remember that addiction recovery is a lifetime process and relapses occur more often than not. I feel having a form of support to rely on during recovery can make all the difference :)
