Answers: What happened to that relationship because of the addiction?

My dad (my birth father) was an alcoholic. It cost him his job,our home,his children, and his life. He died on the streets of Richmond,VA in March of 1993, he was 43. He had been homeless on the streets there for 4 years. He was drunk,went into cardiac arrest,fell down a stairwell, went into a coma and died 7 days later. His death made me sad but did bring me peace at the same time.My sister who is 10 months younger than me struggles with being an alcoholic and a sex addict and dabbles in the drugs.There is not enough space to type what she has done to me and our relationship. We no longer have one and that is very sad.

Thank God I do not have such a problem!

fortunatly for me no
if I did, the strength of my relationship with them wouldn't weaken
instead, I would help them get over their addiction

my ex....a druggie and alcoholic.
it was bad. thats why i have custody...he doesn't

Had to give it up because I got clean and she didn't. Can't be around someone that keeps getting high.

I have a cousin who is addicted to crystal meth.. Since she has started doing the drug, I no longer have contact with her.. I basically refuse to.

My father and he is addicted to sex.
Resulte : our lifes is destroyed.

Yes.
I had to cut them out of my life because I was tired of living their drama.

I think my mom's addicted to alcohol. My poor mommy! ...And well, me...I'm addicted to sex.

Sure my husband he died due to his alcoholism... At the young age of 32....The world is full of addicts... For some quit and they are fine, for others they die due to their addiction. God bless****

Yes, My Wife...Sex... Broke it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mother was an alcoholic so the relationship was trashed and I no longer see her - she was one nasty skank.

My first husband was an alcoholic, but was a nice person - he died of cancer (not related to drinking).

My eldest son's father is an alcoholic so I dumped him!

Living with somebody with an addiction is one of the hardest things in the world.

I guess if my gf had this kind of problems i would help her out to change her life around. Addiction in drugs alcohol an gambling ar really bad...but what about sex?i dont really get where is the issue. He/she is like a nympho or what? Guess in both ways this would be the less important problem. Good luck .

My husband is an alcoholic. My exes were mostly drug addicts and alcoholics. My response was always to leave. Recently, I discovered Al-Anon, and I am trying to work things out with my husband. Addiction is an illness. It has taken me a long time to come to that realization. At times, I want to walk away, but it takes more strength to stay.

I have had many addicts, mother, father, uncle, brother, and now husband. My immediate family were alcoholics, my husband is addicted to pain killers. After 7 years of the addiction, loosing our home getting utilities shut off a thousand times. My unconditional love has prevailed, he has now been clean for 1 year and says thank you for staying by him he would have killed himself if it wasn't for my love. dealing with an addict is the hardest thing ever. But, let that person know that you love them regardless and you will love them 4 ever! It may take time but your love will make all the difference. Good Luck! If you ever need any help feel free to contact me.

Unfortunately, several. I had an ex-boyfriend three months after we broke up died in a DUI crash. He crashed his BMW into a tree and went flying out of the car. The car then landed on top of him and cut him in two pieces. The sad part I told him if he kept living the way he was living he was going to die. My cousin, died of a heroin overdose on the side of a highway when he pulled over in traffic to use. Finally, a story with better news my husband is a recovered addict who had problems with alcohol and heroin. He went to drug rehab three times with the third time staying in for 67 days. He then did six months of outpatient therapy and meetings. He has been clean for two and half years. When my husband first got out of rehab things where really hard. It was a matter with "dealing with the aftermath" plus I did not trust him. I told him if things where going to work out it was going to take time. We litterally slept in separate rooms for six months. I kept talking to a minimum but just decided not to be angry with him for everything either. We still are working on things slowly but I would say we are closer to normal than ever. In the other two cases I never had the opportunity to see a positive outcome.

Nothing we have a good marriage and are marriage has lasted a lot longer then most. Been together since 1970. Married in 1971..We still do a lot of gambling, drugs and sex....We work hard and party just as hard.....

i was gonna say ME to all of the above (as a joke) til i read your additional details.

i dont know what happened but when i left for a job in VA and came back it was like an epidemic with crack back here.. even old friend shooting up. i could not believe it.

my sis' boyfriend is doing the crack thing now and i am having to support her and her kids while she works as much as she can, she finally left him but he always wiggles his way back in to her. she is 26 and been with him since she was 13. it is hard for her i know but i want sooooo much more for her.
my ex husband got into coke real bad and i divorced him and sent him back to VA.
i rather be alone than to deal with such mess. i am still having a hard time getting into relationships cause of the turmoil i went through

my husband is addicted to a drug & to poker he's gone most of the time

My ex husband.He's an alcoholic.He drank so much that nothing else seemed to matter.He went to AA five times in four years,but never stuck with it,and he lost countless jobs and friends.No one wanted to be around him,not even his daughter.I finally left,when I realized he wasn't going to change.His family knew he had a drinking problem,but never told me and never told me that was why his first wife left him.His family thought I should've stayed no matter what,and they quit talking to me,which was kind of hurtful,since we'd known each other so long.We've been divorsed about a year and a half now.He has a job and goes to AA almost daily,and has to submit to weekly alcohol testing and counseling.It's court ordered for him to see his daughter.He says he still loves me and is sorry,but I think if it wasn't court ordered,he wouldn't do it.I still worry that he'll slip and drink when he has our daughter with him.I pray that he doesn't.
