This week’s dilemma is from Christina, who says she doesn’t know what to do to encourage her partner to stop smoking marijuana.

Apparently Christine’s boyfriend was able to come off marijuana for a year…but has started using it again in the last six months.

Christina has been living with her boyfriend and his parents for the last 2 years – and has recently become a Christian (in the last three weeks in fact).

She wants her boyfriend to stop because she knows it’s bad for his brain. In fact, since being back on pot Christina says he doesn’t talk to her as much – preferring to just sit and watch TV. He can also get verbally abusive at times.

Christina's boyfriend doesn’t see any reason to stop smoking marijuana. Christina wants to know the most effective to convince and encourage him to stop. Have you ever been upset when someone close to you has been addicted to a drug? How did you go about convincing them to stop? Did it work?
