[quote=Anonymous]If it were me, I would find the right time and get vulnerable with him about your own life. Even better if DH does it too. Recount a story of when you felt in too deep—in a relationship, after a one-night stand, an addiction, a toxic friendship, whatever. Explain how you made sure that the "low" period was temporary. The point is that everyone tries stuff and many of us have felt trapped by our social or personal circumstances—it's how you extract yourself that matters. Describe HOW you moved on, how you dealt with the collateral social damage, etc. In other words, give him more tools and context for shifting gears. That could be telling friends he's being drug-tested, dealing with losing old friends. Also think about what may motivate him—the coolest girls don't want to date stoners, athletes can't do drugs long-term. Tell him it's normal that he dipped his toe in this but now it's time to shift gears and you'll help in any way you can. [/quote]
