I apologise. I'm posting in this section due to higher traffic.
I am feeling utterly desperate. My partner is a marijuana smoker and it is now very heavily affecting all aspects of our lives. I feel very anxious a lot of the time as he has appalling mood swings when he has come-downs and he causes arguments and often acts unreasonable. He laments afterwards and does want to stop, but then the same cycle of events usually happens again soon after.
At the weekend he had a massive flip out over something. Afterwards when he had calmed down a bit he admitted he had not smoked for a few days as he wanted to quit but was suffering terrible side effects. We both agreed that the side effects were not likely to be a walk in the park but he said he just wanted to roll with them.
It is now a day later and I spoke to him a minute ago and he said that he had just smoked one as the side effects from the come down were too much.
I am posting here in the hope that SOMEBODY might be able to give us some advice or point us in the right direction. Where can he get help? Serious, common sense help. Does anybody know of anyone who has had a similar habit and managed to stop? How did they do it? I am thinking of taking him to see a nutritional therapist to see which supplements might support him in stopping. However, my fear is that he just does not have the willpower to stop and will 'give in' every time because it's just too difficult.
I do love him and want to be with him (we have been together for over 5 years and have a child) however it's now getting to the point where I'm feeling like I'm being short changed in life because of this terrible state of affairs. I am continually having to walk on eggshells around him due to the fear of him 'blowing up' in one of his moods. This is no life for me (or him, or our child).
If you have any words of advice, PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.
