    I love the advice at the end. Im sick of partners of addicts being held accountable and expected to nurse their addicted SO back to health. So many of them are victims of abuse, cheating, manipulation, poverty (etc etc you know how it is), from their addicted partners and to tell them to "be patient", "be kind", "be supportive", is not only a complete disregard for their feelings and boundaries but also enabling the addict in their behaviour. Also, i know so many people who blame themselves because of their partner's overdose because of this belief that they werent supportive enough

      My partner hid his addiction to cocaine for the entire first year of our relationship. One of the women he was cheating on me with and I became friends via social media and then we found out about him. We both left at the same time

      I being with my boyfriend for 9 months and is really difficult for me to stay with him, I being patience, supportive, caring and all for what? He always go back to drugs and that hurts me. He realized how much it hurts then he promised not to do it again. Tha last time He did it he spent 700 dollars in on day. I end our relationship after that, is being 2 weeks and he is already begging me to come back with him. He he’s not willing to do rehab why is he looking for me? I don’t support his addiction, but I’m trying to help him to understand he’s killing himself, he’s 35.😢

    As an addict I lied to everyone. I don't trust addicts. At all. Because I was one, and I know that you'd do or say anything. I do have empathy, because I've been there, but do not, as a sober person, underestimate the deceptive characteristics of an addict. Throw in the bipolar and I've cheated more times than I can count. Didn't care. Now I'm 57, sober, and medicated, and it's all coming back to haunt me. I destroyed my entire life and I'm desperately trying to put it back together through the final hours. So many missed opportunities. So many wrong turns. So many bottoms. Wish me luck.

      I just visited your comment and I am having a hard time moving on from someone who cheated on me with some girl of 5 years and the guy has been on coke for years and I was told he was clean and I was far from the first girl. He cheated on and off for all the time, multiple times. I am grateful in a way that I am saved from all this but I still want him to apologise and I am not sure that will happen anytime soon or ever!

    My now husband and I used together for a good 3 years we were both unemployed and spent every waking moment together doing coke and drinking alcohol, we had a lot of arguments about the inability to have sex, but neither of us cheated on eachother. We both got clean as soon as we found out I was pregnant with our son.

    I spent 2 years with my ex partner, we had a baby together. It wasn’t until I was pregnant that he admitted he had a cocaine addiction. As someone who’s never used drugs I didn’t see the signs. He told me he was 8 months clean on the day my child was born. When my daughter was around 8 months old I realised this addiction hadn’t stopped and I stopped him having contact with his child as he was becoming more and more abusive towards me. He’d never spent any money on his child and hearing he’d spent all his money on cocaine and alcohol… it broke me. Just like he says in the video with the drugs came along the cheating. I just want us to be a family but that isn’t possible anymore due to his choices.

    Addiction equals cheating and lying. Sobriety equals being remorseful and loyalty.. Addiction is not an excuse,, It's powerful and when you get sober and look back it's amazing to see yourself as the person you are and supposed to be and never go back to that part of life..People can change and if someone can't accept that move on

    I took cocaine regularly from the age of 19 then the last 4 years I had a daily habit and I'm now 42. I'm nearly 11 months clean thanks to 12 steps. Although coke gave me a mega high sex drive I never dreamt of cheating on my girlfriend or never did.

Then my last relationship, I never would have expected that she would have been like that. Stole, lied, cheated and finally got knocked up by a guy she met where she worked and did coke with him. Lesson learned

      As a woman, I can tell you the best way to show her revenge is happiness and moving on, whilst building a family and having a purpose in life with a job. She will be sick to her stomach because I can assume the man she ended up with isn't all stepford husband material? Best revenge is a smile and surrounded by genuine love.These things take time, but they are worth the wait.

    I don't agree, never have back then never will. Just nothing I want to do to someone I love. Addicted or not, it doesn't change anything. Even with the high sex drive, j** off and that's it. But, I agree on the other points, the isolation of consumption, and that you naturally hide your disorder (consuming, obsessively). Also totally agree with "having a relationship" with the substance of choice, I think it's really like that. I would like to hear more about that from you. Anyway, thanks for your relentlessness in doing these videos, I really think they make a difference in a lot of lives out there

      @sharonscott1776 they can compartmentalise the two things. When they're cheating nd on drugs, it's a different person, and the drug makes you believe that there will be no consequences. It sounds harsh, but most of them think "what she doesn't know won't hurt her."
      Also, I believe if guys 100% knew that they would NOT get caught and that the situation was just right, then they ALL would cheat. All men would cheat if they were in an appropriate place and horny enough, then all they need is an opportunity to come along. The issue is that the men who don't cheat have a conciounce at the time and think of the consequences more so they show self-control. Sex and emotions for men can be easily separated. They only see the end result being a great orgasm and not the person they are with. Also, women do it too, but the male libido is biologically built to spread their DNA in every and any willing hole. Some guys take their biology job a little too seriously.
      That being said, if you're in a relationship and he is doing this, then leave because you will never be truly happy. He will cause you so much pain that you will start to resent him anyway.

    I just let the coke-wh**e that was partying with my ex bf have him. He was spiraling into a cycle where he would disappear for days. He accidentally left his location on and I learned that they would hole up at her house and binge coke and artificial sex (artificial because it’s an induced euphoria, not emotional connection). So much positivity flooded into my life when I left him and his toxicity in that shit hole. I pity him when it all falls apart.

      The same thing happened to me. She would go over her dealers house, do drugs and have sex with him. She would tell me she was hanging out with her friends. The only reason I found out was because my money started going missing and one day she came home and I found her completely out of her mind locked in the bathroom screaming at the wall. She ended up cheating on me again with someone else and she got pregnant. I should have ended it before it got to that point. Lesson learned I guess.
