How can I help my girlfriend or boyfriend deal with addictions?

If your boyfriend or your girlfriend are engaging in self destructive behaviors, like using drugs or alcohol, you need to put your foot down. You need to stop the destructive behavior as best as you can. You need to get your boyfriend or girlfriend into a rehab program. You need to get them into an intervention. You need to do whatever you can to let them know that their self-destructive behavior is unacceptable. You need to do it with love. You need to tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that you're doing this because you love them, and you don't want them to hurt themselves. However, you do need to speak up and do whatever you can. The relationship may be over because you've done this, but that's okay. At least you don't have guilt in your system, and at least you've done whatever you can to try to save your boyfriend or girlfriend's life.
