Hi Velvet
Thank you so much for your response.

My friend sent me a text thanking me for the email with the link to this website and said he had looked at it with no further comment.
After that he apologised for his behaviour saying he is an idiot. I have told him he is not an idiot but someone who has an addiction and in need of professional help.
I’ve told him when and if he is ready to admit he has an addiction there is amazing help out there but only he can make that decision.
He just said thanks – knowing him as I do that is the closest I will get to him confirming it (hopefully for now).

This forum has been so helpful and made me realise that there is no point me trying to make him get help as he’s got to want it.
It’s got to be his decision and I will offer what support I can but I also realise I am important too. So at the moment I’m keeping a bit of distance.
Our work overlaps but we are in different locations so can be done by email.

Again thank you – and the forum is an honest insight into how an addiction effects not only the CG but F&F.

Kate
