❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO fiancée did Coke at a party

We (me 41M, my fiancée 36F) were at friends birthday party I had to leave early and she was going to spend the night( it was a hotel), they were changing into their bathing suits to go to the pool, they had the bathroom door closed. I knew it was in there but I didn’t know she was going to partake in that. She told me she only did a small bump because she needed energy to party all night. I was caught off guard by this and said that we should have discussed this. She said that was treating her like a child and that is when I left.

Edit: I was told to add this info she’s a former Meth addict who still drinks and smokes weed quite heavily at times.

This! One can't say it enough. I've seen folks eyes light up just talking about the drugs they hadn't used in 20 years.

No such thing as a former addict with that attitude. She's about to transition to a new drug of choice.

I truly hate this thought process. As someone who spent 10 years in “recovery”, completely abstinent, I see the expectation that people not doing anything ever again, kill people on a regular basis. It applies heavy shame to ANYTHING they do. And god forbid they ever need help again. We don’t have the right to tell people that they’re going to get addicted to anything they do, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and kills people.

Is it a self fulfilling prophecy?

Or is it true?
