I'd like to know how to get through to a meth and heroin addict, so that I might help them?
I never used anything myself, but I fell in love with a woman who suffers from serious addictions to the above and more. Of course I didn't know all this at the time. Meth and oxycontin are her favorites though. Anyway, like any drug addict she used me up in every way, then went back to her junkie ex and began to slander me to the world, eventually cutting contact outright. She's since burned every bridge with everyone she knows and is effectively homeless with her fellow junkie and her kids.I do know that she wants to be clean but after a decade and a half of using, she simply can't do it without the right kind of help. Before anything, I need advice on getting through to her. If I can manage that, I'll need to know how best to help her.P.S. I do want her back but not before she's been clean and single for at least a year. There's a lot of damage there and doing what can be done to fix that comes first. I just want to help the woman I love.
