You know you just see this this so often! It really is fantastic. Hordes of wonderful women out hitting the streets and back alleys saving crackheads. It's restored my faith in humanity

He'll never "easily" give up a powerful addictive drug, just because a beautiful, wonderful woman came into his life.With all the beautiful, wonderful, warm woman out there...if that were the case, we'd have NO crackheads.

It is possible for a person to find a happiness that will make him or her have something other then an addictive substace to live for.
However, I dont see anyone with an addiction to crack kicking the habbit without the help of inpatient detox, rehab and an outpatient after care program.
Kicking an addiction is something you must decide to do for yourself and nobody else.

Nope. That only happens in fairy tales.

Crack is an extremely addictive substance where it makes the brain and body think that it needs crack in order to survive. It's a very physical and mental addiction that requires a substantial amount of time (years) in rehab, sober living, etc in order to help get rid of the person's need for it. The person with the addiction would have to want to get straightened out all on his own. No amazing woman or anything else can make him get off crack if he doesn't have the willpower to do it himself. Having an amazing person in your life could certainly be beneficial throughout the rehab process, but the work can only be done by one person: the addict.

Well, that appears to be exactly what happened with my ex. For all the time I knew him, he was in and out of prison, abusive, a thief, an incredibly believable liar and a horrible person. He took now interest in his son, actually he was abusive to him too. Of course this is all of my fault. Now, his life appears to have totally changed. Has a girl, who loves his a**, has been at the same job for 4 years, has been promoted to a manager, has a new son with his girlfriend, and has just purchased a house. It amazes me how much he has changed, he appears to be a normal person, leading a normal life. Can this really be true? He started smoking crack in the late "80's. In awe and amazement.
