Living in a shared flat with an addict?

Next month I'm moving into a shared apartment with an addict whom I don't know myself. It is a social housing because I became homeless and need a place to stay to finish my school career. Do you have any tips on how to best shape life? I have a laptop and a cell phone as valuables. Of course, I go there without prejudice, but I also have to consider that he has an illness so I buy e.g. No alcohol. Professional tips are also welcome

Make sure to lock your valuables in a container that can't be broken open with a screwdriver.

Addicts are unpredictable. Sometimes nice, sometimes bad.

It's not prejudice if you're careful. There's a reason he got homeless. Apparently he has a problem.

All the best to you! Because you obviously have a problem too. I wish you with all my heart that it will resolve.

The question is about welcue addiction we're talking about… Of course you help yourself and the other if you do without what trickes him

Addicts are unpredictable. You should be careful with your choice of words, and not sweep all addicts in one heap!

In this case, I probably do. The hope of encountering an exception is low to unrealistic. Because this patient is unknown and the majority of the patients are typically no longer reliable. So statistically we have to assume that he is more likely than not to be in the majority.

Living with an addict is often associated with suffering. It is not for nothing that "co-dependents" are run as a separate patient and counseling group.

In this sense, you should wish the FS luck and try to give them ideas for the best possible life in their difficult situation, instead of making the word believer for answers.

Do you live under one roof with an addict? Hardly likely. Otherwise I would not be able to imagine such donations. It babbles so quickly here to people who suffer massively from poisoners 24 hours a day, 12 months a year, until their own life is destroyed.

Wow, I'm speechless…

I have an addiction problem myself, with current abstinence… My partner and I have been together for almost two years now, we got to know each other during detoxification, he is also abstinent. And yes, we live together.

We both go to work, have a structured daily routine… Nothing with the destruction of our own lives. And we're both like you say so beautiful "giftler"

Wow, behind these addicts there are often wounded souls who have suffered through a path of suffering and are happy to meet people who accept you without prejudice and treat you with the necessary respect.

For the questioner:

Contact an addiction counseling center and get advice, everything is anonymous and over the phone.

Congratulations on your fighting strength! I take my hat off to anyone who can live abstinently with this disease.
