If this situation adds more stress in your life than you can handle you need tell him. Tell him how you feel.

I agree with your advice doll, because as much as I would like to say **** it all I don't have it in me. So arm's length is best. I can say the shoe has been on the other foot before and he never left me to my own devices.
But see, what is bothering me is I it from both an addict's perspective and a non addict perspective, I know what it is to be a completely self serving zombie.To not care about anything or anyone but my fix. It's almost like the person you know and love isn't in there they are replaced. Or it's like you become some manifestation of the drug itself. So saying they have to choose is kinda a double edged sword, because they are completely incapable of making decisions for themselves.
That choice should not be the addicts to make because even if they wanted they couldn't really make that choice.
