<blockquote><b>Quoting Captain Tiny Tits....:</b>" Does he know he is an addict or are you saying he is one?"</blockquote>


He knows, openly admits it, he shoots over four bags a day.

Hi my name is Emily and I believe my ex is still an addict, he may not be currently using, but he has a very addictive personality, and I try and try to get away from him, and it's so hard, and when we are apart, I over analyze everything, I think it's my fault, I think he's an addict and he will get help and one day we will be a happy family again, how do I just get him out of my head and STOP... I just wanna be happy without him! He's BD by the way
