I haven't been in a relationship with one... but my mother is an addict.
I'm keeping my distance for now & hoping that things can change but I don't expect it. I'm just disappointed but I cant let go. Thats my mom 馃ズ
I suppose with a relationship its a lot different. To be honest with you, I would probably walk away. I would of course still love them but realize that love can't save them. & You cant keep hurting yourself by giving that love.

@ChiefWalksWith40oz The problem with associating with an addict, even if you love them, is this -
When someone is feeding an addiction, it becomes their number one priority.
If things get tight, that is when it gets ugly.
They will not care who they hurt or put in harm's way to feed that addiction. They will try to get anyone they know to "loan" them money or try to get them to break the law even if that is what it takes for them to keep their addiction fed.
You ever seen that movie "menace to society"? The addict who was making O-Dog that romantic offer *probably* would not have done so otherwise.
Double cheeseburgers don't sound too bad though. 馃
