Today, my boyfriend told me that before we'd met, he had been a hardcore drug user and dealer for years, as well as a heavy drinker. When I asked why he stopped, he was silent before saying, "I wanted you to have better than that." Here's to my cupcake, 17 months clean. Derrick GMH.

He sounds amazing. My ex decided that the drugs were much more important. I'm glad your boyfriend knew better!

Did that too, she refused me, back on the old track once again. Lucky it's "only" pot, but still...

My husband did that too. He's an alcoholic. He's been sober for 4 1/2 years. Men like your boyfriend and my husband GMH!

i had to bring my father to the ER months ago and while i was walking in, i saw a guy outside, feigning, begging for change. after i checked my father in i walked back outside and talked to this guy for 4 hours.. i gave him my number and told him if he needed anything at all to please call. i prayed for him every single day. one month later, he called from rehab (the first call he had made since entering) to tell me that he had detoxed and is remaining clean and sober. why? because our conversation gave him hope.. we are celebrating another anniversary of not only our love but also his sobriety, complete with sparkling cider, next week. people like that, stories like this and undeniable fate GMH!

My boyfriend and I decided to stop using drugs together :). With help from God... What a sweet guy your boyfriend is.

I can definitely relate to this. I was very much in the same situation when I first started dating my now husband. When you feel like you really matter in the world, even it's one person, it moves you to be better. I changed my life because I felt whole. You did things you can't even imagine by being in his life. Hell, you probably even saved it! I wish you both the very best.

That is how true love is. I was married to a man who did not want to give up the hardcore drugs. I painfully left him taking our 6 month old baby with me. I deeply loved this man and it broke my heart to leave but I could not raise my baby in that kind of life. God puts people in our paths that He feels can change our lives for the better. I believe that my true love is out there waiting for me to cross his path. I loved your story. It gives me such hope....
