Quote From: alyssa_A promise is nothing from a person who does drugs. He may promise something becausehe wants to make you happy, and he proabbly tried but he wont be abel to just stop. Thats the thing that was always hard for me growing up because my parents thought i could just stop and i also promised. But really i needed help. He cant stop a drug addiction alone and i think you should help him. Drugs make people do a lot of things thwey would never do whern sober. If you got him help soon i believe everything would be better in time. But i gaurantie you that he can say he will promise to stop but he will still do it secretly. Drug addcitions people cant just STOP because its not that easy. You should get him some help.
I think you sent this to the wrong person.
I have no problem with a significant other (or a friend, spouse, whatever) doing the legwork to identify a place where someone can seek help.
But, beyond that, there is no such thing as "getting him some help" or "getting him to stop". If he's 25 years old and legally sane, he can't be forced into anything and he will quit only when he is ready.
It is by far the hardest lesson loved ones have to learn, but it is also the most fundamental.
