Very happy to hear that he is willing to go. Unfortunately, as someone who has been through this multiple times before I finally got it, all you can really do is just be there and try to be as supportive as you feel you can, given that your primary job is to take care of you. He is going to have to do this. And it can't be done for you. He has to do it because he wants it. As I have said before, addicts quit when they are done. Period. If he isn't done, he won't quit. Sadly, many addicts don't do this until the consequences have become catastrophic. Lost house, lost job, lost partner, lost kids, lost friends. Lost everything. Sometimes, that's what it takes. Your boyfriend is extremely lucky to have you at this point. If I were you, I would reiterate to him that you are not staying around if he does not do this. He needs the motivation.

Thinking of you and sending you positive vibes and prayers.
