My boyfriend regularly takes ecstasy, what can I do?
My boyfriend takes ecstasy about weekly. I'm trying to spend as much time with him as possible and help him wherever I can. I can also locate him via Life360, so I now know roughly where he's getting it. Now I'm wondering if I can report to the police that there's a dealer in the area, or if there's anything else I can do to help my boyfriend. Do you have any other advice or things I should definitely avoid?
Hello,
nice to help your friend. I can understand that you want to help him and want the best for him.
In principle, it is not in your power, but also not your responsibilityto keep him from consumption. You write that you’re trying to spend a lot of time with him right now – that’s great. So you can also tell him your worries and maybe make offers to him, like visiting a drug counselling agency. Don’t try to put him under pressure. That’s probably how you trigger more defense in him.
This balance between “I want to help” and “this goes across my own border” is difficult to observe for consumers. Ask yourself how far you can find the situation and where your own borders are.
If you want to tell more about your situation, you can also write a DM.
Love

Well, he himself also says it doesn’t do him well but it’s the feeling what makes him addiction. This night wasn’t easy and I’m glad he survived it, but I don’t know how I can help for a long time.
Talk to him best, and if he doesn’t take it seriously, just say how you’re doing and you’re worried.
If he doesn’t accept it, he’ll get other people to the boat and police in the last way. That’s what I’d do.
Well, I know it for a couple of months and with each and every week
I learn to help him. For example, I’ve always met with him the last days so he doesn’t feel alone. I also often talk to him about it and try to report if what should be. The problem is that he can’t stop even though he knows how stupid it is. On the one hand, I want to stop it, but on the other hand, I cannot talk to anyone else about it.
You’re having trouble with the police. He’s addicted and the problem doesn’t matter. A move to another UMFELD would make sense. Tell him the family planning with this stuff is hard because he then has to take responsibility.
The problem is: He’s 17 like me. He lives alone in an apartment from the youth office or such a help. That’s why moving is hard.
Are you together?
No, but I know very much about him.
