Explaining addiction to my girlfriend?
    #5342237 -

alright so me and my girlfriend (who is a non-drug user) have been going through some troubles lately because of my recent increasing drug addiction. Last week I finally reached out for help and started counseling and will be looking into NA meetings soon enough.

She still doesn't seem to grasp how HARD addiction to drugs is to break and what it even means to be taking this step. Are there any papers or articles out there that would help better explain it to a non-drug user?

None of her friends have ever used drugs in their lifetimes so all of this is pretty new to her anyway...

I don't know what to tell you except just try to explain to her the nature of your problem. You might also ask her to attend a few NA meetings with you, so she can see how drugs can sometimes take over your life. It's hard for a non-user to understand, especially if they have no experience or exposure to such things.

bring her to a de-tox clinic .. tell her to talk to some of the heroin addicts... if she still doesnt understand , then she prolly never will.. unless she actually becomes addicted herself

there are a few problems with NA, but depending on the group it can help. None of those 12 step programs sit well with me, at that point you might as well find a new religion, cult, hobby or just keep your friends and family around you to help.

Most of the time at NA you just listen to peoples stories, and then hear about relapses and etc. etc. its just an ongoing cycle. Like I said, some people find help there, but I find it more beneficial to just stop associating yourself anyone involved with the drugs you are trying to quit instead of hearing the same stories over and over, and dealing with the fake facades of "druggie born-agains."

p.s. you are kind of a dick for dragging her into all of this, while knowing its new to her.

Don't bring her down with you. Let her live a normal, drug-free life away from your addiction and relapses.

And good luck with your recovery.
