My ex is a drug addict

She will have her reasons for it but as you already found out, you are not able to help her. This is her life, her way, her resposibility. It's also her choice to deal with problems this way (which is hiding). She can only be helped if she really wants it and is willing to go for it. If you go on trying it will only break you. It was a wise thing to let her go, painful, difficult, but also if it comes to you your own life is your responsibility. You deserve love, help, attention and pampering as well. If not from her or anyone else, do it to yourself.

Indeed it is very painful, especially if you still truly care for her. But you are right, there's really nothing you can do about it so instead of thinking of her, you need to think more of yourself now.

That's a hard situation to be put in, but if your ex does not want to be helped then you can't really help her. It's better that you had let her go, she's not good for your life. But I get where you're coming from, you don't want anything bad to happen to her. You can't protect her from everything though, in the end it's all her choice, and you can't help her if she doesn't want to be helped.

I am sorry to hear that your ex chose that life. Sometimes, it pains us to see a love one in that situation. Much as we would like our best effort to help her out of it, but your effort will be useless because she doesn't want it. At this point, nobody can help her except herself.

hi tech, i certainly know how you feel. cause my brother is an addict too. my parents even his wife don't know what to do to him anymore. we even join a religious activity for him to change. and yes he was changed but for a month and after that he'll go back again to that kind of lifestyle. it's very painful seeing the person we love and care for destroying their lives. just include your ex to your prayers that someday soon she'll renew her lifestyle.

I know that this decision was very difficult for you, but I do not know whether the only kind that can be taken, perhaps with the help of family addict, or just friends would be possible to help you, do not know what I would in this case did, but I admire you for your courage with potyrafiles go away and leave what was once between you.

oh tech, thats so sad,,,I am so sorry someone that you cared about chose that road to follow..But you have to know that you can not help anynone who dosen't want to be help... Hopefully she find herself before its to late, if its not too'late already.
