My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 wonderful years. We have lived together for the past year. I found out about 10 months ago that he had an addiction to oxycodone in the past. He quit on his own prior to us starting to date. He relapsed once late last year and was again able to quit on his own. I recently found out that he has been using again since February. He is seeking help for recovery at this time. He has stolen a large amount of money from me for his habit, not to mention spending quite a bit of his own. He stopped using on 6/7 for about 1 week, went through withdrawals, but was only able to be sober for a little over a week. I found out yesterday that he has been using again this past week. He says he wants help. He has an appt at a counseling center but they were not able to get him an appt til 7/21 due to his insurance.

I have such mixed feelings and am hoping to hear from others who are going through something similar. I don't want to kick him out, as I fear this will only make things worse - increased depression which leads to increased using. His family is very supportive. My family does not know anything and I intend on keeping it that way. I am so angry with everything, I feel like I am being dragged down. His stealing money from me is affecting me greatly. I no longer can trust the person I share my home with.

Any comments/support will be greatly appreciated.
