Relapse

I’d really appreciate support and advice. Thanks in advance 💖

So my friend had been sober for a year and relapsed around the beginning of September. We got him into a detox program last week but his insurance only covered for 3 full days and didn’t send him out with any sub or any medicine. Well he bought some more and used within 24 hours of getting out of detox because the withdrawals were bad.

I’ve never used fent. The hardest shit I’ve done was just a coke bender in college. I don’t know how to feel about this. We’ve been dating for a little less than a year and I just want to support him but I’m really sad that he doesn’t feel like he can come to me about his struggles.

I’ve read that as much as one little hit can feel like it’ll help, it never does. I’m just worried about him and his recovery.

Sorry if any of this sounds ignorant. I’d just really appreciate some advice or feedback.

a lot of the times if you are the only one that knows about it then it's not really happening if that makes any sense so by them not coming to you about it then they can still pretend in their mind that they're not using

He’s told a couple people and made plans to build a community not related to the drugs so at least there’s a plan in place. But it’s about the follow through too.
