I just don't know how to broach this subject with this person. I've seen some of these signs. But I also know that lies can be told to cover others.
I know this person will not stop using but keeps telling me "how little" they use. Enough to stay wired, run for days to do work & then they crash.
I know this is an addiction so why would I mention all this to them?

Well, one part says bec what if this person dies while with me!

Another part says well I knew this addiction was there from the beginning & im only really fully seeing it now....bec I'm actively looking. But it won't change things.
Another part just says ignore it, it's their issue, move on.

Idk how to think about this bec from what I've learned about people with addictions this bad is that there is no room for ANYTHING else in their life....but the drug.

And then I think....what if I'm wrong?
