Relationships and Drug Abuse?
Question by craziebiatch79: relationships and drug abuse?
I recently moved to Michigan from Florida. I have been an addict for 14 years. I am four weeks clean now and plan on staying that way. I moved to Michigan to start over and change my life. I am safe with my sister and her family. My boyfriend called me today and wants to move up here with me. I am not sure if that is a good idea because I want to be clean and he is also an addict. He will be 45 days clean when coming here. He has been an addict for 15 years. My sister thinks this could somehow stop my recovery. What do you think? I would just some opinions. I love him and he loves me but is that enough.

I think your sister is right.
Take the time to love yourself enough to get some time alone with yourself to get to know the beautiful, clean you.
I’ll be praying for you!
And remember all the great stuff your sister is doing for you right now.
She has opened her stable home for you and exposed her family to you and it is so easy to make a mistake, so please try really hard to be Good!
Yo uboth have love for each other but you need to realise that you need to get well. It is giving in to temptation if you were to see him now. You need to be apart for another 6 months at least and if you both truely love each other you will end up together.
I dont think it is a good idea. Each of you can do it on your own,t his is a personal thing. Then, when you are BOTH clean and sober and feel at a point where you know you wont turn back to that lifestyle, then and only then can you be together. Do this for yourself, what is more important than you?
Congratulations for facing your addiction and winning! Love is NOT enough. Addiction is a life long battle for which there is no cure. Having the boyfriend around could end up being just the trigger you need to send you spiraling down the wrong road. Please find a support group and continue to work on yourself. I’m not saying write him out of your life completely but you certainly don’t need to be together at this critical time. He should also spend more time focusing on getting his life back on track. Be supportive of each other through phone calls and email. Good luck!
