We’ll explore why narcissists turn to drugs and how they use addiction as a manipulation tactic, keeping you trapped in their web of control.

Yes I was involved with a narcissist that was addicted to adderall same thing, pharmaceutical methamphetamine. The robo comment really got me

[@templemanning6180]

This is what I realized: that the narcissism isn't caused by or a side effect of the addiction, but rather the addictions are the 'alibi' that is blamed for the narcissistic abuse that the narc is already carrying out or plans to carry out.

FACTS 🎉

[@altspecs342]

There’s a great book that was written in the 70’s called Games Alcoholics Play. I refer to it as the GAP (or the in between’s they play to their advantage like the benefit of the doubt). This is very hard in a culture like ours, and it can be a very hard walk, but the fact is that either way you go is hard, and it is often harder to be alone with another person and people, then alone and no longer setting yourself on fire in all this drama. It also isn’t healthy for kids to normalize so I’m glad you are making the time to do this as part of your own healing.

My X husband, covert always had some sort of escape as well. Alcohol, Cocaine,cannabis, im pretty sure he would try anything in front of him. He was horrible with finances, liar,cheater,thief. Thankfully im now recovering myself

[@snowredsnow666]

Might have been a sociopath; the thief part. Glad u got out ❤

[@ladyvirgo013]

@@snowredsnow666 I would catch him with things from his old job and ask about them,he would just say they gave things to him,I don't believe that to be true

[@ladyvirgo013]

Exactly 💯 what i experienced when the X was sober briefly, he was Very Moody. He ended going back to all his addictions and left for a person who will drink with him

[@snowredsnow666]

I never knew of NPD when I was w him and always thought it was his cocaine / alcohol addiction 🤦🏻‍♀️ Turns out after hearing abt NPD that it 100% lines up. Crazy. Wish ppl were educated on Cluster b in school so we can protect ourselves

[@emilysnyder4857]

If I could go back and tell myself anything before I met him it would be that when he told me he was a recovering addict that that means it will never go away. I would tell younger women to never enter into a relationship when they tell you early on about the condition. Because it means they want you to accept it and take on their burdens for them.

Please address 🌽 addiction!! OMG it is THEEE MOST easy to hide, and SOOO insidious!! 😢

[@sylviealexandris6696]

This was also my experience. My ex narc was only able to tell me he ‘loved’ me when he was on MDMA. He was also addicted to coke and did a lot of other drugs. I didn’t see it at first, but near the end he was doing it almost everyday. ‘Just a tiny line’ to get him through the day. He always told me I was a party pooper! He also needed it to go out. He snuck it in his suitcase when we went to Europe, Costa Rica and Panama. He never got caught. He made a lot of money and had a stressful job so he deserved it. I’m so glad it’s over.

[@deb2319]

Great Talk Excellent Points.

[@harmonyvaneaton4101]

Mine is addicted to pot/hash/resin. 24/7. Often adds alcohol. He started drinking at 12, drugs in highschool, and pot all day every day at 18. Blamed it on exes, me, and then our daughter. He blamed an 11 year old little girl for addictions he started decades before she was born....

[@LuckyClovers]

Don’t take it personally. Addicts are expert manipulators, and it’s not your fault.

[@fruity_mango6539]

@@LuckyClovers mine also has a 30 year pot and pornography addiction. I’ve never heard someone lie so much. And until a few months ago, recognizing all of the manipulation tactics I thought I was literally going crazy. Now I just have a lot of anger and resentment for 21 years that he has done this.

[@PowerGurhl]

Yeah same was addicted to alcohol gave it up after 10 years, never gave up weed..been doing that on the daily basis for 15 years. I always thought it was a coping mechanism for him

[@EveningTV]

this isn't what I thought you meant in the title. My ex starting alleging substance addiction for me and used this to distract everyone from what was really going on to kick up a lot of distraction over false allegations to undermine my credibility and make him look like the good guy.

[@anewbeinging6115]

I agree it's a issue with the heart.

[@PowerGurhl]

Yup I got trapped. He was an alcoholic I thought his confusing and hurtful behaviors were because he was always drunk. Turns out no he is that way still now that he is no longer addicted. I can’t bring that up at alll but he loves to tell me how I did not support him enough when he went to rehab which is untrue as I paid for part of it, he never called me his gf for two years but promoted me to fiancé when he felt trapped at a rehab and I had to get him out. Then I was important only for his benefit. He lost his job a few months after and he cried I stuck around and moved in to make it easier and that’s when started to treat me like shit. So much so I got depression from his manipulative behavior

[@aneshaw6964]

My parents were addicted to heroin/fentanyl/cocaine/weed/meth/PCP/crack/and alcohol. It was a drug den with how much they smoked. I could never breathe!

[@aneshaw6964]

And it was never a few times a day. About 50 times a day. Each of them. No idea how they managed ANYTHING.

[@seameology]

I'm glad you're here ♥

[@seameology]

When the nex would use the excuse of using ((fill in the blank), he'd always blame what he did wrong on that. So, in my mind, and I knew nothing about anything, I'd think, well if it makes you do wrong things, THEN DON'T USE IT!

[@kristinmeyer489]

My first gang stalking perp used my apartment to do her nightly cocaine habit. She hypocritically held it against me that I had the honesty to put myself into treatment for drinking. That to her made me open season for causing problems. I wish KZbin existed back then, because I did dump her after horrific maltreatment and she harangued me by telephone until I said I forgave her. THERE IS NO MORE FORGIVENESS FOR ANYONE, EVER AFTER GANG STALKING FOR DECADES TO ROB A SOUL OF THEIR LIFE.

[@Karina_Engr]

22:56 the book on abuse, why does hw do that? would be very insightful for you.
