Question 7

how can i help my fiance quit an addiction ?

Accepted Answer

Helping an addict: It depends if he wants to stop or not. There's nothing you can do to make him stop and nothing you can do to make him use, although addicts will blame others for doing so. There may be a companion group for you, such as al-anon (for aa), naranon (for na), gamanon (for ga), cosa (for saa). Entering your own recovery helps you to not enable him, which helps him whether he wants to stop or not.

Find a support group: for your specific addiction.  AA for alcoholics, GA for gamblers, etc.   Let them help you assess the addiction and refer you to providers who are specialists in your area.

Treatment approaches succeed when they are longer term, especially for long-term habits.
