I don't know what to tell you...my heart goes out to you. I know from my own addiction that I was the only one who could help me. Have you tried Al-Anon? It sounds like you really need to have some support as well. Unfortunately other than telling the person what you see and trying not to be an enabler, there is nothing you can do, Especially since this person has been in recovery before. Do you know if he/she had anyone that they were close to while in recovery? Maybe that would be a way to get to your loved one? I wish you all the best and am keeping good thoughts for your situation.
