I know that dealing with somebody with any addiction is that you yourself have to get help and make yourself strong because dealing with an addict with anything is a long row to hoe.

You also many want to research and check out things that have to do with codependency. Sometimes we can get into this rut where we put all our efforts into pleasing and helping this person that we lose ourselves and feel like WE are the crazy ones and feel like burning out.

There's Co-Dependents Anonymous. You can also check out Al-anon, even though the addiction isn't a chemical addiction. Addiction still works in the same way.

I know how rotten it is to deal with somebody who is addicted to somebody.
