Question by etoki_chan: addiction help? please read the entire question in depth before answering.?
I love my boyfriend to death, hes the best thing thats ever happened to me, but recently hes had an obsession with LSD. When i met him, he had taken it twice, and was fascinated by it, but that was that. Now, a year later, hes taking it with very high frequency, at least once or twice a month, sometimes twice a week. I used to tell myself that since it wasny physically possible to be an acid addict, i shouldnt worry. But hes definitely a psychological addict now, saying things like “i could do this every day, maybe just live on it” or “some day i want to just make my own acid, then i could have an unlimited supply”. also, as of late he is so absorbed in drug related matters that although he knows its hurting me, he doesnt care. this isnt him, i know it. he used to take my opinion so seriously. hes irritable if he cant get his tabs, and neglects plans to go trip or see his heavily enabling friends. to him im just a nagging force he runs into at home, and he cant understand why i “cant just be fun and happy”. i want to intervene, but so far im the only one against his use. his friends are my friends as well, but none of them want to bring it up because its easier on them if they stay quiet. i dont know what to do. its breaking my heart, and i cant talk to the one person i used to go to for everything. i just want to help, but i keep getting shot down for it. i just dont want him to end up doing heavier things to escape. im considering telling his parents, because i know they would support me, but they have no way of knowing unless they get one of his sheets, or do an LP on him. but i dont know where he keeps them, and he could easily talk his way out of getting tested. i also run the risk of him leaving me if i turn him in like that. he refuses to believe hes an addict, and logical arguement wont work with him. he refuses to read any self help or addiction help material. im at my ends. now when he comes home i just swallow it up and act like im fine. if i dont, im being annoying for being a downer. im not looking for a rescourse for addicts, since he WILL NOT read any of it. so please dont just dump links. im looking for advice. should i try an intervention? who else would help? should i turn him into his parents? i just dont want to lose him. i love him too much.
ok, maybe i should have put this at the top. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT LSD AND ITS EFFECTS. thank you.

I would definitely pursue an intervention, and get his parents and other family/close friends involved. This is a serious issue and thats the best thing you can do for him if you want him to get rid of this habit. dont you think its better if you do it…even if he gets mad at you and leaves you – wouldnt you rather that he is healthy rather than running the risk of losing his life because of this habit..and in that case, he will probably realize what you have done for him and come back to u and be grateful.
