I think he is back on drugs

14
Share

I’m 17 years old and have been with my 22-year-old boyfriend for around 6
months. We have always had a good time together and have always got on really
well up until a few weeks ago when he started to act a little strangely.

Over the past few weeks he’s been disappearing for a few days and know one has been able to contact him and when he has been around he’s been really paranoid and has been acting irrationally about everything.

Up until a year ago my boyfriend was a cocaine addict but claims that he would never take drugs again because of the amount of things he lost when he was on the drugs, but with the way that he’s acting it makes me think that maybe he is back on cocaine. I really don’t know what to do because I love him so much and don’t want to loose but if he is taking drugs again I don’t think that it would be a good idea to stay with him.

TALK TO HIM, it is the only way, don’t carry on being suspicious when you have not even given him a chance to explain. He might just be going through a rough patch like maybe a relative just died or something and maybe he is just upset or maybe this has made him resort to drugs. No matter what, you will never know until you ask him and if so you should try and help him through it but if he does not stop you may need to leave him

I think you need to talk to him honestly about your concerns; in a calm way. Do not be judgemental and let him know if he does have any problems you will be there for him. Encourage him to open up and if he can’t talk to you about it suggest he discusses it with a friend, family member etc. Don’t be upset if he finds it harder to talk to you, it may be because you are too close and he doesn’t want you to be disapointed with him. It may take him a while to admit it to himself if he is using again; time, patience and understanding is all you can do atm. Sometimes writing things down can help- for both of you. Maybe get him to remember the reasons he gave up before and things that helped him to do so.
Hope this helps a bit.

I think you should to talk to him about the drugs and your relationship. You should try to understad him about the great problem, for his physical, mental and society being, and for his relationship, because when a person takes drugs becomes another person, without real sensations and emotions. You can also speak about legal problems with police and justice, and you can talk about economic problems. Another good argument for me, is about the bad people that he can meet when he looks for drugs.

You should try of help your boyfriend in this problem, you will try but I don’t think the best solution is leave you boyfriend because he have a big problem. You can try speak with he, if he pass of you, you speak in secret with your partner’s and looked a center of desintoxication for a people with this problem or try first speak with doctor speciallized on psiquiatric.

sounds like a bad thing to do but it has worked for a number off my friends that have tried to do drugs or have gone back to them, but if he is not cooperating and you have tried everything then you need to threaten the relationship by saying that if he dont sort out his act or talk to you about if and why he is doing drugs, if he cares truly about you he will accept what you say and want to quit regardless of him being addicted or not

He may just be worrying about drugs again, because apparently if you do drugs it has effects later in life. Like Paranoia is one of them.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but the strange behavior screams relapse to me. I was with my heroin and cocaine addicted boyfriend for many years, and kept on giving him second chances, making excuses for him, etc….
I did the same thing as you, was patient and forgiving, only to be lied to and for him to take my money and go off for days, leaving me sick with worry. Yes, he is ill, but at the end of the day, everyone has a choice. I have come to the conclusion that those who come from loving families, and who have people that love and care for them, and then STILL chose to hurt them by their actions are selfish people. After a few years of being with him, I began to think that his behavior was normal. I also started experimenting with drugs. You start to think “if I can’t beat them, I’ll join them”. I did coke and heroin a few times, but the thought of my mum and my little brother knowing and worrying and being disappointed was much stronger than the effects of the drug. It’s harsh, but the only way to help yourself and your boyfriend is to leave him. You are telling him that you will not tolerate such behavior, and deserve to be respected and loved, instead of always being second place to the drug. Best of luck x

I had a terrible christmas last year, long story short, after a year of being together, my boyfriend told me he had taken drugs a few times not long before we met. He’s always known how strongly I feel about drugs, and how much it upsets me, as my friends all take drugs, and I have lost a close bond we all once had, because of it. So I understand why he kept it from me, but lying is something I can’t tollerate, and I don’t think I can get over that. I’m worried he’ll go back to taking drugs of any kind, as his brother is his main influence and access to them. I cannot be with someone who takes drugs, and no matter how hard it would be to leave him, I’d have to if he took drugs again. I have sat down with him countless of times about it, he promises he won’t take them again, I’m trying to trust him. I say, sit down with him and have a proper talk, make sure you both fully understand eachother’s views about it, and if his answer is something you don’t want to hear, then it may be time to let him go, he might come to his senses one day and realise what he’ll lose, good luck, stay strong. x

that was terrible advise i was addicted to drugs for 12 years and if someone is not hard with you you will never see that drugs ruin lives cocain is not a physical addiction but it is one of the hardest drugs to say no to especially crack i think if you suspect someone is taking drugs you can try asking but beleive me all drug takers are very good liers.The thing is drugs are expensive so its not really difficult to figure out when someone is taking drugs it is something that everyone who has a drug problem in the family has to do try to get some one with experience to talk to the drug user becouse thinking you are helping with words of love dont work and threats dont work the user has to see that life is better without drugs beleive me i know
