Okay, so I`m going out with this guy and I reallllllly like him. But the only problem is, he uses drugs and alcohol a L0T. I`m totally against this.. I have seen families torn apart and people`s lives ruined because of alcohol/drug use.. I would never do anything like this, and he knows that, and he`s okay with that.. But I don`t want him to hurt himself. And I really don`t like the fact that he does.. I know that I can`t change him.. What should I do ?

Teza answered Sunday July 3 2005, 1:15 am: You need to talk to him. I know that sounds like eh.. I dont know.. and you might not think its the best thing but you need to show him and tell him how much you care for him and all the bad things that happened to people you know who used drugs and alchocol. It might be hard for him to stop because I bet he is addicted but tell him you will help him and you just dont want to see him hurt. ♥ // [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
broKenANDtwiSted answered Sunday July 3 2005, 12:37 am: talk to him about how much you care and let him know you'll help him. Also let him know that your not pressuring him to quit all of a sudden but to cut down little by little.

MummuM answered Sunday July 3 2005, 12:11 am: That's right, you can't change him but you can talk to him about this problem. Explain to him how much you like him and how much you care about him. You could also add in that you are against this because you seen families torn apart because of this problem. How long have you and this boy been going out? If it's been long, he should be able to quit just to make you happy. If you haven't been together for long, just talk to him about this. Make some interesting points that would make him want to stop. You could try to get some information about drugs and alcohol. Explain to him what it can do to you and maybe read him a story about something that has happened to someone who took drugs, or was an alcoholic. Maybe this will help change his mind and ways.

aicila answered Sunday July 3 2005, 12:10 am: ugh this was a situation my friend was just in. her boyfriend had cheated on her because he was drunk and broke her heart. most of the time ppl that are really into the drugs and alcohol thing get into alot of trouble in the end if thats who he is and u dont want to change that then get rid of him or maybe talk to him about it and tell him why you dont like him doing these things
therocketsummer answered Sunday July 3 2005, 12:05 am: I know if my boyfriend used drugs I'd leave him if he didn't change. If you're against this, don't change your priorities for some drugged up guy. Follow your head this time, it's the right one. Drugs are a bad thing to get into and even worse to have a loved one in them.
fatalxheart answered Sunday July 3 2005, 12:03 am: Um..talk to him about getting help. Or just get him help. That would be a good start. And if you don't want your relationship to fall apart...get him help.
That's all I can really say. [ fatalxheart's advice column | Ask fatalxheart A Question ]
