I'm dealing with someone close to me that uses meth. It has put me thru my own new level of hell mixed in with my own MH issues. I know you'd like to help, but please tell yourself you deserve better than this. And you do!

I've just read this from PC & I am trying to pound it into my head.

"One of the key problems of substance abuse in a relationship is that even if an addict loves her partner, a drug addiction will make her love the drug more. That’s the stark reality laid out by a blog on PsychCentral, which explains that a relationship with someone who is abusing drugs is not a healthy one, and it is dysfunctional by nature. The writer explains that the addict does not actively choose drugs over her partner, but she is physically and psychologically compelled to pursue chemical satisfaction by her addiction, and no amount of romance, companionship or sex can fill that void. The relationship itself becomes merely a means to an end, and every conscious and unconscious decision the user makes with regards to the relationship will ultimately be for securing her next high."
