Leave?

It can be hard to accept that the person you are dating is an addict.

You may notice that their substance abuse is not just a frequent occurrence, but a constant one.

As troubling as this is, you have grown to love this person and want to help.

Going to Al-Anon meetings is helpful in not only learning how to communicate with your significant other, but with how you personally are dealing with their addiction.

You can find wisdom and inspiration from others who can not only relate to you, but who have been put in the same situations.

If you have discussed getting treatment as an option with your significant other and they are up for it, then that is obviously ideal.

If you find that your partner is not interested in getting help of any sort, it may be time to take a step back and evaluate your relationship.

Is their addiction something that you can live with?

As much as you may try to make it work, the odds are, it may come to a point where you can no longer support their habit- and that is okay.

Walking away could actually turn out to be a wake up call for them,and influence them to get the help that they need.
