This sounds like a made-for-tv movie. A down on his luck crackhead finds love and adventure. lol ... hmmm... and just why would a wonderful woman be interested in said crackhead?
BINGO!
The only way "a wonderful woman" would be interested in a crackhead, is if she doesn't know the other person is a crack head. YET.
And any woman who WOULD get involved with a known crack head would be an enabler, so, thus, she will NOT help crackhead give up on the crack.
If a wonderful woman enters a crackhead's life is it possible that the crackhead will find so much warmth, joy and happiness in his friendship with the wonderful woman that he'll easily give up crack without going to rehab cause of the warmth, joy, happiness he was getting from this wonderful woman and it made him find something to live for?
NO. The drugs mean more to him than you do. Give it up.
And if they decide to kick the habit, they are going to need tons of help along the way. Tons of help.
Yup... It takes an incredible amount of will power and focus on self. And from my experience maintaining a relationship is not conducive to recovery. It is actually a distraction.
You risk codependency... One party would feel guilty if they broke their heart or disagree.... The other risks falling off the wagon and back to using the minute there is stress in the relationship.
If they quit the habit it has to be for themselves... Only. That's the only way to kick it in the long run
Maybe, if this "wonder woman" had strong enough will power and wealth to knock out, bind, and air lift said addict she loves to a remote and secured location, then feed, house, and insure, boot camp type guards/ counselors to monitor him/her 24/7 for many years, who must also keep her protected from harm, then, only maybe, her love will end the addiction. She must sort of, like, become a wonderful prison warden, if she doesn't get convicted herself.
Yes and the addict will be no longer addicted. Until he relapses. Then repeat above.
And if they decide to kick the habit, they are going to need tons of help along the way. Tons of help.
Tons of help which may be in the form of NA or AA. The very nice crackhead I met years ago was in recovery. I was newly divorced and not looking. We worked together and I offered him a ride to work, his license was also suspended. He was a mess. A funny, likable mess. We soon became mutually attracted.
He told me he was not going to be interested in a romantic relationship, or couldn’t act on his feelings as he had been warned that it was not conducive to his successful recovery. I agree.
Listen up Crackheads: One must fix themself before they can be an attractive and productive partner.
