Sounds like you need to break up with him. Here is how you do it.

Step 1: Take all his things and dump them on the front curb.
Step 2: Change all the locks in your apartment so he can't get in.
Step 3: Send pictures of it to his phone. Make sure you aren't there when he shows up next.
Step 4: Mysteriously, it all catches fire before he can get to it...??? How did that happen? No one knows, especially not you.
Step 5: Slash his tires when he comes back, claim innocence and refuse to pay for a tow truck.
Step 6: If he comes back with a gun, shoot him first and cite Stand Your Ground. I hope you pass as white.

Achievement unlocked! You're now the crazy ex!

Alternatively after step 3, you can go a more benign route:
Step 4: Buy pint of Ben & Jerry's, eat it during your next Netflix binge
Step 5: Call your mom and have her tell you you deserve so much better.
Step 6: Post about it on Facebook.
Step 7: Start a new hobby in an attempt to find yourself and/or your center. Either knitting or yoga are best. Kickboxing is okay, too. Rock climbing, not so much. Mafia hitman, definitely not.
Step 8: Congratulate yourself for being single and post about how much you're enjoying life as a single.

Achievement unlocked! You are now a twenty-something white chick who likes pumpkin spice lattes and wearing silk scarves for no reason! You go, girl!

lol that was pretty good.

You can't reason with an addict. You can't expect them to see a rational viewpoint because they're by definition irrational. Some addicts need help but don't know how to get it and / or are too embarrassed to seek it, others need a very severe wake up call. Sounds like this person is the latter. Not much you can really do but distance yourself.

This problem could have been avoided if you had a sassy gay friend.

From my experience, once a junkie, always a junkie.

Not a productive or even fair outlook; that essentially condemns every single person with an addiction to a predetermined fate. Even on my most jaded day, I can't do that. Lots of people break through the chains and live a good life. Really depends on the person they were before, any comorbid mental health problems, and their support system (or lackthereof).

i believe if a person can be helped and is willing to help themselves, they they should get that help. but this is not the case, he was kicked out of the army for meth, was later arrested for attemping to make meth, even after his court hearing i found stuff in my house used to make meth. the guy just doesn't get it, lost cause IMO.

Oh I'm not arguing on behalf of him, just in general.

Best thing you can do is remove yourself from the situation however you have to.

wouldn't it go a long way towards eliminating crime if we simply executed all the drug addicts? theft, muggings, burglary, and *bad mmorpgs would simply vanish!
