Re: I need an honest answer
Chitown Kevin,
In my last post, I could not be any more honest and true.
As per your post, your girlfriend has an addiction to crack. There is no physical dependecy to crack and/or cocaine, so there is no detoxing from crack use.
Crack and/or cocaine addiction is of a psycological nature. It is very complex and too much to post on here. My advice is to do as much research as you possibly can and try to apply it. Again, one thing you are going to be unsuccessful at doing is forcing her to stop. That may just push her further into the grips of her addiction.
I've seen countless people recover from this addiction. Strong minded people have the ability to stop on their own, once they figured out that they had had enough.
Others however cannot, not because they lack willpower, but because they have deep rooted issues that need to be addressed and resolved. For these people, professional help may be required. With that being said, even professional help will be useless unless the addicted individual is willing to do so, not forced.
Good luck. I read the history of the two of you, and I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. There is no easy fix to this. Do not put yourself out there on thin ice (emotionally I mean) and expect a strong foundation to hold the both of you. Addiction can be tricky and conceiving.
Chitown K.. gimme a break
SWs aren't exactly at the high-end of providership, mostly because they have a habit, or habit(s). This doesn't mean they are trash to be abused; they are just women with a horrible self-inflicted (..or pimp / "boyfriend" inflicted) problem and no other means of supporting it.
While I've never picked up a SW yet, that's not a judgement on anyone else, just a matter of my own choice, based on my personal comfort level with the risks - I think MV and others here, are providing everyone here with an invalueable service by informing us all of their experiences, and no small amount of entertainment and info with MV's excellent photos.
(I personally enjoy looking at pix of chix who do "Pay for Play", and so I cruise the galleries regularly)
To deny the realities that you profess yourself to understand, CK, and even claim to be living with, that are the reason so many SWs are what they are, would be hypocritical, and downright idiotic, not to mention "Holier Than Thou"
MV: All you give us is very appreciated Sir.
