When I met my bf, he was a hard crack addict for 9 years. He quit for me, with no counseling or rehab, just cold turkey. Now we have a 1 year old boy together. My bf works as a cook and there are drugs everywhere in that industry. People he works with do lines in the bathroom all night. Recently hes done a few lines here and there. I was so upset. I know that one time turns into two times whoch turns into once a week which turns into smoking it freebase. But I dont know how I should react or what I should make him do...counselling, just forget about it...i dont want my son to have a father who does drugs.

Boy that was pretty clear. I would tell him just what you told us. You have to keep the safety and care of your child your primary concern. Make sure you are okay, have a support system and do what's' best for you and your child. Good luck.

My sisters ex husband is an addict (heroin and meth). When they were married he quit off and on but finally went back to it for good. After four kids and living in poverty she divorced him. Since then he has been in and out of jail and always returns to the drugs. Once an addict always an addict, but thats not to say people cant overcome their addictions. But your husband will always be an addict, recovering or otherwise. But if the children are exposed to it and you allow that and if CSD ever got involved you could lose your kids. Addicts Anonymous or alcoholics anonymous (its for addicts too) would be very helpful if he'd go. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I go to AA and see a counselor too and Ive found both to be indespensible to my sobriety. If he loves his family enough he will go to a counselor (one would hope). Good Luck, its a hard thing your dealing with.
