Replies Poker Shark Posted at 10:28 pm on Sep. 12, 2009 I don't know what the consequences of his sedative dependency are for you're relationship so I can't save dump him or stay with him. It's up to you whether a person having this addiction is a deal-breaker or not. I mean if it's as simple as he has to take a sleeping pill every night or he can't sleep then I can't see how that  could affect the relationship negatively but if he's taking like 30 Xanax a day or something I can see how that could be undesirable. Evolutionism Posted at 10:31 pm on Aug. 13, 2009 Have serious discussion with him about it and if he is unwilling to help himself, there is little you can do. Rickenbacker Posted at 12:24 pm on Aug. 10, 2009 Addicted to what? Benzos? The person above me has a good idea. Kava is similar to benzos (I am prescribed benzos [Klonopin]) and have taken Kava. They are very similar. My friends, who I have given Klonopin to and have tried Kava agree as well. But Kava is much milder and less physically addictive. I get withdrawal if I don't take K-Pin for more than 2 days. gotwake Posted at 12:34 pm on July 30, 2009 What exactly is he addicted to? Talk to him about it.  If he indicates that he wants to get off of them, then you should give him all the support he needs.   If its something like benzos, look into Kava Kava.  It is a natural herbal infusion that may help him ease off the pills.  Kava has similar effects to benzos, with much less of an addictive nature, and much more mild.  I believe this herb could be useful to alcoholics or benzo addicts.   Most addicts want to quit.  So saying "screw him! he'll never change!" is kindof an asshole thing to say.  Plus, I believe most addictions are symptoms of an overlooked psychological issue that would be better treated with therapy. guitarist451 Posted at 10:42 am on June 19, 2009 if you like him stay with him, if not then don't See Me Now Posted at 4:23 pm on June 18, 2009 You keep asking, so obviously you want to dump him. It would be naive to assume he "will" change, he needs help though. If you don't want to help him, then leave him. starla91 Posted at 4:20 pm on June 18, 2009 Get out of there. You're young and you shouldn't be responsible for saving anyone at this age. That's what parents and long-term friends are for. Reading Your Eyes Posted at 4:19 pm on June 18, 2009 Just give him a chance.
