I am a little frustrated and sad that many of you say there is no hope for some people.
I should clarify: I won't say that there is no hope, but I will say that you can't make him change.
I was a "hopeless" alcoholic for many years.
Alcoholism is different, Michele. Alcoholism (or any drug addiction) is a personal thing. The alcohol industry was not established specifically to scam people out of money, and it does not have a well-organized system of policies designed to condition people to argue against, tune out, and eventually disconnect from loved ones who tell you that being an alcoholic is bad.
But, like an alcoholic, a Scientologist only gets clean when he or she decides to for him or herself. They need to see something for themselves that convinces them to stop.
As a recovered alcoholic (and well done you, by the way) you know that you have to hit rock bottom for yourself. That cannot happen from the outside.
It's your life, Michele. But as an ex-addict, would you have a relationship with someone who is still using? Well, guess what - your boyfriend is still using.
Much love,
Caliwog
