We have been together for 6 years and I love him so much. He has lied to me so many times about this, that the trust has completely gone. He’s not willing to get help for it. The anxiety from his addiction has made my health deteriorate and I know I cannot live like this for much longer. It’s difficult because I am so attached to him and don’t have many other people in my life. I feel so scared and afraid that I won’t be able to handle a breakup. 
Could anyone share any advice on how to get through this if you’ve been through something similar? 
thanks so much x

Welcome to the forum, @Mercedes and for sharing how you are feeling. 

It sounds very difficult trying to support your partner when they may not be accepting of help. It's important you take care of yourself, also. 

Please contact our helpline number or live chat, if you need. We are open 24/7, and an adviser will be there for you if you need some help navigating these tough feelings and support for your next steps.
