I say stay away. The addiction is the one they love the most.

start by ansking yourself why you are attracted to someone with an addict's psychology-- and what you can do to improve THAT-- you can't do much of anything for a crackhead-- he has to decide to get treatment & to live clean.

If you don't say goodbye to him, you'll be saying goodbye to your money, your tv, your stereo, etc.

I lived with a Meth addict... she wasn't when she moved in... The insanity of her behavior, the guilt games she played in my head... it took me 6 months to get her out of my house... when I asked her to leave, she had the police come, and evict me from my house.... then after I had left she moved a new guy in, turned my basement into a meth lab/pot farm.... After the police caught her took her to jail, I found out I was responsible, because I owned the house... even though she had me removed...
The EPA clean up cost me thousands, I sold the house to cover the fees and expenses....
Junkies leave a trail of damage, destruction, and chaos in their wake....

Is this a clever euphemism for Ice Cream? I hope so.
If it is not, be a friend but not and enabler, and get on with your life. If it is about Ice Cream, dont be too rough on him. It is 5am here and I am about to loose a battle with my need for some.

Strandedboarder so eloquently replied: "Good bye"
And he's right. There is nothing you can do to help this person unless they have come to you and asked you to help them get clean. And then, hang on, because in most instances you are in for a very, very rough ride. Addictions are not about the substance. While there seem to be physical predispositions to becoming addicted (to a particular substance), there are also psychological underpinnings which must be dealt with and anything less is like using a band-aid to patch a dike. Meaning, it just ain't gonna hold for long.
That you used the word "hopeless" to describe your ex rather says it all, I'm afraid. Right now, crack is more important to them than anything else...including you. Best to just walk away and focus on living your own life.

Hmmmm...ice cream for breakfast? Now there's a thought!

My sentiments exac-a-tacka-ly! 
The road of heartache is littered with good intentions. It doesn't matter if a person has a "heart of gold" if his brain is corrupted. People with destructive addictions need to realize they have them and ask for help, not the other way around.
MM - ice cream for breakfast?....yum.

my ex was (is) a severe alcoholic - not the same but an addiction none the less
when there is no rent money and they say they will replace it with their next check, etc., that's not a good sign. evicted for not paying rent, electric shut off many times, cable shut off....... I was the stupid one and stayed trying to make it work for the 3 children. it was harmful for children but i didn't see it, they needed their dad (but was he really there?) Complicated issue. It dosne't matter what you do, they always blame you for their addiction. Nothing you can do. Get out while you can!!!
Sorry, too much info.!

crack is one of the worst addictions you can have, it often leads to extreme violence, violent mood swings, theft amongst many others. Either he gets help IMMEDIATELY or sling him out of the door!!
