We fell madly in love when she was still using. She opened up about her addiction (Coke and Opiates mainly) about 3 months into our relationship. I gave every fiber of my being to get her help. I didn't hesitate when she told me about her addiction at all. I knew she was special and I knew she was a wonderful person.
Like most addicts she had used me, my money and lied to me before getting clean. Her parents and I used all our money to support her through a private 30 day program and it went AMAZING. She has now been clean 64 days and is in such a wonderful place personally.
The problem I am having is that she is pushing me away and asking for space. After 6 months together where there was such a close intimate relationship where she really needed me, I am struggling with the drastic change to her desire to just basically hang out once a week or so and not really be as close.
How can I help myself adjust? I almost feel like she would be better off without me now that she is on this independence kick and doesn't need my support. I am hurting badly because I don't want to lose her but I understand her sobriety is THE most important thing right now.
Please give me advice.
