You are going to have to set some boundaries for yourself first!. How long are you going to tolerate being abused!? You deserve to have happier, healthier relationships!. You need to go to CODA (Co-dependents anonymous) to get some healthy tools for you to use!. You didn't cause his illness, you can't control his illness and you can't cure his illness!.
He has an illness, his mind and his body are both addicted to the meth and he will need professional help to recover!.
You can set boundaries with him!. Tell him "I care about you and eventhough this is difficult, I'm not going to be able to be around you while you are using!." or "I can't be around you if you don't get checked into a facility to help you detox!."
Setting boundaries is about you taking care of you, that is why you use "I" statements!.
Good luck and remember you deserve to have a healthy , happy life and you DON'T deserve to be physically, emotionally or mentally abused even if it is at the hands of someone you love!.

A friend of mine was in the same position!. They wont stop and meth is the worse!. He can become extremely violent because they don't sleep, binge for days and then start getting paranoid and even hallucinate!. He might think you're the enemy and you need to worry about your well being now!. Get away and get away fast! My friend was almost killed because of her meth addict boyfriend, don't let that happen to you or worst!.

Meth is an very evil drug!. People that are addicted to Meth will do things they normally wouldn't do to get the drug!.
If he doesn't want to get the help your fighting a losing battle!. If he does then he must get into treatment!. Rehab!. There are many resources available to people who can't afford rehab!. The only thing is there is a waiting list!. So start looking now!. Look for places in your area to start with!. It sounds like he doesn't have insurance so make sure the are covered by the state!.
Rehab is only the beginning of recovery!. You must have at least a one year plan to make it work!. By this I mean Rehab, aftercare, maybe a halfway house, NA meetings and some kind of emotional therapy after everything else!.
Just remember there is no guarantee that this may work!. Helping someone get off drugs can have a lot of let downs!. Also they say relapse is part of recovery!.
You can't do this by yourself you need a support team as this can be very stressful!. If your all stressed out your no good to anyone!. So please think of whats best for you!. I know it sounds harsh but I am a recovering Meth addict and I know how hard it was for me!.
Educate yourself on why people do drugs, the drug it self and the process of recovery!. It may help you to understand what he is going through and the cycles that occur!.
You may email me anytime!. I wish you all the best that life has to offer!.
Take care and don't give up!Www@Answer-Health@Com
