would you ever date an ex drug addict that still has some addiction tendencies/ someone that always has to be self medicating? not to the point where it’s super extreme but to the point where it’s frustrating seeing them withdrawal, relapse, etc?

my current bf is an ex drug addict, used to do pretty much everything.when we met he didn’t drink at all, only smoked weed. but about 2 years into our relationship he started drinking again. not excessively, just started buying beer every now and then and would drink a 6 pack in one night; not often but sometimes. he used to take etizolam (something kinda like xanax) and has withdrawled and have been good about staying off and i found out he ordered more online and saw it in his kitchen drawer :( he didn’t tell me.. but yeah.

idk when this cycle will end and it’s frustrating. any advice? would you date something with this issue?

    If he wants to date you he must solve the issue. Permanently. And verifiably. Otherwise dump him fast!

        Because...relapsing, hiding drugs, going through withdrawals...that doesn't make him an "ex" drug addict, that makes him a right-fucking-now, fully fledged drug addict.

          What Countess said!
          He has a decision;
          ...if he loves drugs more than you, leave. Otherwise you and your happiness will always take a back seat to his next fix. He’ll steal your property and sell it. He’ll steal your family’s property. He steal your cash. He’ll be too messed up or hung over to attend events.
          Love is give and take. There is no room for negotiation. He either wants you or drugs.
