Marijuana, Alcohol, and Gambling addiction.?!


Question: Marijuana, Alcohol, and Gambling addiction.?
My Boyfriend of over a year has smoked marijuana at least 3 times a day for the last two years. He drinks at least 4 times week anywhere between 5-10 beers at a time. And is always in debt because he gambles on sports weekly as well. I don't know what to do. I want to try to help him but its hard i don't even know where to start. He knows how much all three of those things upset me. And has tried to quit smoking 3 times in our relationship and it never last. And when he quits smoking for like two weeks he just leans on something else so he'll drink more during that time. It's really frustrating and i don't know how i can help him if he doesn't even want help. What the hell should i do...

He needs rehab treatment, but he won't quit until he wants to. You can't make him.



Why is it that good women love bad men, or good men love bad women. Is it that we feel we are responsible for things that we are not? You love him, but you have to be care full of your own mental health. Maybe you should see a councilor and talk about boundaries, because loving someone like this, will test those boundaries.

It is like this, you either create strong boundaries, get help or leave. Or you will start smoking, drinking and drowning together. He may care more about his needs, than your love.



Move on to greener pastures. All he will ever give you is heartache.
He will never change. Nothing you can do to help him. He must realize he has problems & make a commitment to HIMSELF to make improvements - or it will never come to pass.
Why put yourself thru all the grief the rest of your life.
He will promise you the moon - but he cannot help himself until he admits he has problems & does something about it.
Life is not always the way it's supposed to be. It's just the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.



Try and get him to cut down on drinking first and foremost. Unlike alcohol you cant overdose on marijuana so its the least harmful of the two.
