How do I get through this?

Question by Missy: How do I get through this?
My boyfriend is moving out in three months and it’s not because we are breaking up or not in love. In fact we are very much in love. We have been together for 2 years and it has been great for most of it, however he is a drug addict and he has recently started drinking again. He knows that he is going to hurt me and he doesn’t want to continue to do that so that is why he is leaving. We love each other so much and we wanted to spend forever together, but there is his addiction and he feels powerless over it. He constantly needs some substance to make him feel better/normal. I am sick over this. I doubt anyone can help, but I had to ask. Any drug and alcohol counselors out there have any good advice for a broken hearted girl in love with an addict? I should add I am 27 and he is 43 and has spent a lot of his life using. Heroine being his drug of choice. Help. Please.

I would say you are doing the right thing and you both are being responsable. He needs to get it together and thats what hes doing, so just know its for the best and thing may work out in the end.
