You can try to help: Your boyfriend will need to face his drug dependence and get professional help. You can discuss it with him and let him know what you think about what he is doing, but it is up to him to quit--usually with some professional guidance and treatment. It will be important for you to consider your own well being too. Don't sacrifice your values and life goals because of his drug dependence.
