He did change a bit, but he is suffering greatly, and not ready to make good choices. My heart is broken, but I don;t see, what else can we do. Also what do you think, what stops someone from abusing drugs?Thanks for any input...

They don't always turn around ,just because of withdrawing love,or services. Sometimes ,that is what keeps them alive. There are no easy answers. You have to make your own decision ,if you want to do help,or not. your choice. Both ways ,no real answers. Take care

a drug addict will always get drugs no matter what you do when a loved one is taking drugs its heartbreaking you feel like your hitting your head against a brick wall no matter what you do or say if they aren't ready theres nothing you can do drug addicts offen dont change until they've lost everything why change if someone is giving you everything you need often it fills your head with so much worry that you cant cope anymore you have to show that you love him but you cant watch him do this to hisself that when he is ready to stop for good you'll be there to help him

 He can only change if he wants to. I believe that even when addicts want to change, they have to have no other options left because the comfort the drugs gives them is more enticing than taking on the challenge of trying to change. If you have tried everything to help him directly, maybe it is time to take more drastic measures. Find out the people he is using drugs with or drug dealers especially if you can find out where they live or telephone numbers and turn them in to the police!! If you can get him away from the people he is using with or getting the drugs from he will have no choice but to stop.
