My room mate, who's been clean for almot a year has relapsed. I've suspected something ever since I got back from my vacatio9n and he finally owned up to it. He has a problem with crack and when he's on that crap, he cannot be trusted at all. When I left to visit Ted, Joe(my roomie) had $1000.00 in his checking account. When I got back a week later, he was broke! Last week, he stole $600 off his Dad and now, I think he's ripped me off of small amounts a few times. It's just a matter of time until I come home to find my pc and dvd player missing. I've had a talk with him. He's been here before and he knows where it leads. At least he's not smoking it here. Not that I know of!!! I think I'm going to have to ask him to move out. I hate to make his financial situation worse right now but I can't have an active addict living with me.My problem is, I'm passive-agressive. I need to be able to ask him to leave in a calm manner. I'm afraid I'll get nervous and jump on him and kick him out. It's hard for me to go about things correctly. I get nervous and scared and feel as though I'm backed in a corner. I always come out fighting. It may be an imaginary corner but the redneck is for real!! Wish me luck!
god, you need to tell him to move out you cant be dealing with his problems too, im sure you have enough of your own. i know it will be hard and there will probably be a lot of shouting on his part, but try and keep cool or the situation could turn round and bit you on a**, all the best missy
Thanks for the advice Missy. I guess I'm going to tell him that I don't want to live in the same apartment with someone I can't trust. And I'm going to tell him that I can no longer trust him. I also found out that he's dealing the crap so I have to get him out of here!!! I kicked my husband out for having coke in here. I dang sure ain't gonna let a room mate keep it here. I aint' going to jail for nobody's crimes but mine! You know what I mean???

I don't know what my problem is, guys! It's just one damn crisis after another! Maybe it's that dang schizophrenia! I'm not shizophrenic! Neither am I ! Ha! Ha! Really... I think I am. I did have a serious talk with Joe. I didn't have to stab him! That was good. He knows the routine. He's heard it all before.He's in college now, though. And his grades have been excellent. I hate to see him waste all that! He's got alot more to lose this time around which is the nature of the beast. It f$%$s your life up a little more each time you pick up. I know what you mean about the addict vs addict game. I play that too.Crackheads are a step down and alcaholics are the lowest step. Of course, an alcaholic and a crackhead are looking at a different set of steps. LOL. It's all BAD. Anyway, I hope some of what we talked about sunk in. I told him that if I found anything illegal in my place, I'd turn him in myself. That should make him paranoid enough not to get high or sell it out of here. I also told him to start looking for another place to stay. I didn't specify when he had to be out. I hope he took me seriously.
