The cost of treatment is something that always makes me upset. I bet if your boyfriend thought treatment was within his budget that he might try it. Or maybe he has his own reasons not to seek help.

I know when I had no insurance I decided not to even try getting help...because I couldn't afford it for long. So I went 16 years without help.

I guess finding access to low cost clinics or programs would be something worth trying. Sometimes meds can be cheap if they are on the $4 generic plans a lot of chain pharmacies have. Big IF, but something worth looking at.
