Hi Eve,

I have lived with a crack addict who had tried to quit, but ended up

going back to the stuff. It was a hard time, I tried to help as much

as possible, but the problem stemmed from the personality. In her

case it was a complete lack of self worth. This lack of self worth

caused other problems as well, namely inviting her abusive boyfriend

to come live with us. If you decide to invite this person in, just

be aware that it MAY be a very trying experience. Of course trying

experiences are often very valuable. If this person is open to your

efforts and puts out more effort than you, he could overcome. You

might have a " plan B " in mind. He needs to have somewhere else to go

immediately in case the arrangement is not working out for either of

you. Also, write out rules/guidelines for his living in your house.

You both need to understand what type of behavior will get him kicked

out (ex. doing crack in the house or whatever you decide). You both

should understand that this is HIS battle, and you are there for

support, not to win it for him.

 

You might try focusing on the nervous system in order to give him a

physical boost. Acupuncture is a good idea. Also nervines like oat

straw (and soaked, low heated oat groats to eat), skullcap, valerian

and hops. Nutrition needs to be optimum. Along with diet, add whole

food nutrition supplements, superfoods (like fresh squeezed veggie

juice and algae/wheat grass juice) and herbal infusions like nettle,

oat straw, horsetail, red clover. Of course the liver and bowels

need to be addressed as well along with the whole. You might find

taking the food supplements yourself will help you deal with the

situation better as well.

 

One thing it sounds like you'll need to educate yourself on is the

actual withdrawal period (if he hasn't already gone through that). I

haven't had experience there.

 

Meditation for you both could also be a great tool.

 

Good luck.
