Question by GurlieX: Another question about my drug addicted boyfriend?
so… my boyfriend is a drug addict. he gets VERY angry sometimes and says/does some very hurtful things to me/himself. he has been doing coke a lot lately. recently his best friend was sent to prison for killing another friend drunk driving. this not only scares me because my boyfriend drives drunk whenever he goes to his parent’s house, but because he is doing coke much more now.

he used to do ecstasy about twice a week… then he started rolling less, and doing coke more. now that his friend is in prison, he is using that as an excuse to do it more. yesterday he got me to do it for the first time. today, i tried to tell him that it is not worth getting your girlfriend (me) so upset over and he said i was right and said he would stop (heard that before…)    Read more...

Question by Follow-the-narrow-gate: Drug treatment difficulties anyone?
So… I have started my second round of IOP (intensive outpatient) and I always find treatment difficult.

I am always trying to recover, but talking about drugs always makes me want to use.

Anyone else have these difficulties in treatment or in general ?

NOTE: Please do not put rude comments, because my recovery is a serious thing and you do not know me or anything about my recovery.

Best answer:
