[QUOTE="AddictionSucks123, post: 764154, member: 31168"] Thank you New Leaf. Yes, I am grieving. Definitely working on not doing the catastrophic thinking as well. He just called me to let me know he didn't get the apartment lease and he was very angry. He told me he was just a junkie and was going to drink and get cocaine. So he hung up and I texted that I was sorry that he didn't get the apt. Then, he called me back after using, and wanted to talk and chat. He was, very chatty and said that he was so much better when he was using as it made him more even tempered, less anxious, etc. Of course.. he is medicating himself. So, I let him talk and we conversed but after I got off the phone with him, I thought, should I be talking to him when he is high? Should I hang up and ask to talk with him when he is sober? He said so many things, like wanting to stop, wanting to go to AA to meet other people like him, maybe trying to get therapy for his anxiety or filling his life with more than drugs. But is that just the substance talking or is it him? [/QUOTE]
