I have recently been let in on a secret from my boyfriend of over as year that he has been using meth behind me back for 3 months. I have never dealt with meth or any other drugs and now that this is out I can look back and see the issues that were right in front of me. I was beginning to wonder if he just wasnt happy with me anymore, we argued non stop over the littlest things. He couldnt sleep and would stay up all night and days at a time. Since he has told me of his use so many things make sense, but now he is determined to be sober and clean for the sake of his own life and our relationship. He went to his first meeting last night and Sunday we are going to begin going to Alanon classes together, so he can get the support and i can get more information and find out ways i can better support him in his recovery. I have ready so many stories of it not working out and all with the same msg, get out, but I can't help but think that maybe he can become sober and the man i fell in love with. He is very determined to make this step and has already cut out everyone from his life that had any involvment and has changed his phone number. He is definitly going through the process, he is sleeping each night and late in the afternoon, he has told me he feels very down on himself and depressed. Is there really a chance he can kick this and we become a sober couple?

It is now Nov 1st and has your boyfriend been clean and sober since? I can tell you from my own experience with meth users. They have a struggle with their addiction for a very long time. Your in the beginning stages of his willingness to become free from this horrible, hell bent adventure. This is a 24/7 commitment of support and life style changes for you and with no guarantee of him changing at all. He may love you right now but he loves his addiction more. Evidently he has been hiding this from you or you haven't been able to except the truth about him yet. Love him enough not to change him, allow him to be himself and love yourself enough to let go. You can't change him only you.
