Should I Leave My Girlfriend Because of Drug Use?

Question by rufa: Should I leave my girlfriend because of drug use?
I should preface this by saying that I am young. I’m only 20, and I feel that I have so much ahead of me. All my life, I watched my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother struggle with their husbands’ addictions to alcohol and drugs. My family has been torn to shreds countless times because of my grandpa’s indirect abuse when we were growing up.

I’ve been with my girlfriend for 11 months now. Everything is perfect. She takes care of me, she’s so good to me. I never even dreamt something was wrong with our relationship until recently. I started wondering when I realized (very early into the relationship) how she managed to stay so clean and ambitious when all of her friends and family seemed very… troubled. They all suffer from a lot of drug use and alcoholism. So it surprised me when she told me that she only has a beer on occasion.

Alcohol Abuse Treatment: Smoked Marijuana Every Single Day for Almost 3 Years. I Quit Cold Turkey. What Will I Experience?

Question by Jane: Smoked marijuana every single day for almost 3 years. I quit cold turkey. What will I experience?
I decided to grow up and stop smoking marijuana. I was a chronic user. It’s day 2. I feel pretty irritatable. I cannot sleep for the life of me. And I don’t want to use a sleeping pill for fear that I’ll become addicted. What can I expect from quitting? Can you really be addicted to weed? What are some benefits to me quitting? What are things I need to watch out for? Is insomnia after quitting weed normal? Am I prone to get head or throat cancer now? (I read that in an article online)
Thanks!

Answer by Tim
No, its just like have a beer after work. As soon as your obligations are done for the day its time to relax. ITs not like you are going home every night to drink. Also more like having a single glass of wine for dinner.

Question by : Has The Weiner disclosed the “disease” for which he is seeking treatment?
Is it sex addiction, even though he didn’t actually get any? Tiger Woods pulled that one out of the hat but he had strange stacked a mile high in his wake. Or is it compulsive lying? Or maybe even narcissistic personality disorder?
