My fiance has decided that he is ready to start getting help he needs. I just need help want to be there for him. He has decide to start taken NA classes. I have just never been threw any of this before and reaching out for help. I do not want to say or do wrong things to make him feel as though i am judging him in any way. I Want him to know and understand that i am with him threw this hard time in his life. I know he feels like everyone in his past life has left him when times got ruff. He feels as though I will also but i want to be by his side. Just need help knowing what to say and some advise on helping him along this journey he is about to encounter.

What a great question, I'm sure you are a true blessing in his life. What we suggest is he go to a 90 in 90....90 meetings in 90 days. Recovery does happen for those who really try. For spouses and family members there are Nar-Anon and Al-Anon classes that will help you learn how to deal with what you will have to go thru.
thank you this is something new and just want to give him all the support and just never want to say wrong thing want him to be able to trust me since after a year in this relationship he has finally opened up to me about his drug addiction.
I also suggest NAR-ANON and am also an addict and a member of..I started going when my 17 year olsd son become addicted to heroin and struggled for over 6 years.I have seen both sides of the coin and as a parent and an addict I was able to get help in learning once again,I didn't cause it,I couldn't it and I couldn't change it.Like my own 3 decades of active drug addiction I had to come to a 100% acceptance of our 1st STEP .I wanted it more than anything. Fortunately for our family my son also wanted it....He just celebrated 6 years free and clean...You will meet folks just like you and learn some great tools.. http://naranon.org/
