Run, run like the wind!

Because addicts can't and don't change for other people. They need to hit bottom and decide they need to change for themselves. Even then it is hard to get and keep clean. But it has nothing to do with you, it has to do with addiction.

No.

No chance!!!

It's a disease ( in effect ) and one that would only bring the poor woman down to his level and cause nothing but pain

No, it is not possible. Look at what happened to Whitney Houston.

Will a guy do it for an ex? She left him because of his painkiller addiction. Then when that happened, he switched to hardcore drugs like heroin and crack. Whatever he could get get his hands on. After his time in prison, he claims to be a changed man and sobered up from drugs but continues to drink responsibly. And she took him back.

Then he had the first fight with his new gf and guess what happened
I was with a drug addict for 5yrs. Not romantically but close friends. Once he was out of prison, he went back to his ex-fiancé who is a functioning alcoholic. Only time will tell if he will relaspe back into drugs. Right now, everything is peachy since they have reconciled

What about her? Whitney was into drugs before she met Bobby. Bobby was not a crackhead when he met Whitney.

This is a bit later. However, this is just what I see. If a man is a crackhead, the last thing he should concern himself with is getting a woman. It should be with getting himself well. I do not recommend any woman getting involved with a crackhead. It is not likely to end well. That man needs to have himself together first.

There are some thing I disagree with you on. I agree with this. I know someone who is a habitual drug user. He has basically ruined his own life and caused problems for others in his family. Drugs, alcohol abuse. I cut him off because he wouldn't change. He wasn't getting better and I felt like he would take me with him.

Getting into a relationship with a crackhead is like trying to tame a wild horse. It won't work out very well.
