I am a recovering heroin addict. I have not been to alonon, but my sponser does. So that he knows how to handle being around his father who is an alcoholic. I highly recomend it. I also was just in a relationship where I found out that my girlfriend was using crack and alcohol. I made attempts to help her get into the recovery process, but she has made very little attempt to attend meetings or find a sponser. So, after a month of this and me warning her, I told her last night to not call me until she is serious and has a sponser and has been attending meetings daily for a month. It was very hard. I love her. But I can't enable her financially or emotionally any more. Otherwise, I may be loving her to death. congrats on getting almost 7 years. I am only working on 2. You can also create an artificial bottom for her by making her see that she is going to face some consequences for her actions if she doesn't get help (I.E. you leaving her ETC.) have you ever watched intervention? that is what they do. The family gets together, confronts the addict and lays down things that they are and aren't going to do if the addict chooses not to get help. They are creating an artificial bottom. So to speak. Go to alanon. Best wishes.

cold turkey, its the hardest way to end a relationship but i ve had to do it at time its takes a while to get over what you just did but remember you have to take care of yourself first, you are the most important thing to you. be strong for you.
Hi i am clean since Nov of 2001 from powder, x, pot, alcohol and acid myself. i know it is hard, but you HAVE to cut her out of your life. By staying you are enabling her to keep using, yes she will most likely keep using after you leave, but you have to look out for your self and this is destructive to your sobriety nd your life. i had to loose most all of my best friends, because they still use. you need to simply pack your bags,tell her you love her and that is she ever wants to quit you will be there for her, but that you must leave . you must stand firm and NOT speak to her unless she wants help getting clean! you will be doing yourself and her a favor.
