i relate the last line to mine and my boyfriend's relationship with heroin. quitting is hard enough when you're doing it alone, but it's even harder when you're so closely intertwined with someone who's also an addict. i want to quit, but he's not ready, and i'm not strong enough to stop using with him using around me, and i'm not strong enough to leave him for the sake of my own health.
@thegasman Reading this 13 years later, & hoping you and/or both of you ultimately got clean & neither lost their lives. I'm in recovery myself, 14 years, & know how hard it is. Wishing you all the best & hoping you're both okay. There's actually nothing better than having a boyfriend in recovery when you're in recovery yourself.

@thegasman Also reading this 13 years and immediately wondered the same thing. Very similar experience(s). Hope all are safe.
