Do you understand that this man is a self-harmer too? The only difference is that his scars are internal. They are not visible.
Whether he snorts, smokes, or shoots his coke, he is self-harming. He is also self-medicating. He has problems that he is hiding from by using coke.

I hope he does not take the tablets while using his coke. It is a very dangerous combination. One that could permanemtly mess his mind up.

This is exactly the life you are living by staying with him.
What if he gets high enough he overdoses and dies.
What if he starts stealing to get the money to afford his habit.
What if he kills someone in a drug induced psychosis (Don't tell me it doesn't happen, I just spent the day in a state mental hospital (forensic unit) with men who raped and murdered in a psychosis induced by cocaine).
What if he starts shooting up, if he isn't already and gets AIDS and gives it to you.
I have a lot of other "what ifs" but the list is to long.

Everything will never be okay, never again. He is an addict and will always be an addict. Sure he may get clean and be sober. But sobriety after addiction brings on a whole other set of problems. He will ALWAYS crave the drug. That craving will remain with him the rest of his life.
By staying with him you are enabling him. You are letting him know that it is okay that he hurt himself, and you for that matter.
Sometimes the only way an addict gets clean is to lose everything and everyone they have.
If you really want to help him, you must leave him. This will not only help get him on the path to sobriety, but will help you begin to heal too.
You don't see how his addiction is hurting you, but it is clear to us.
It is clear that you have a very low self-esteem otherwise you would know that you deserve better. You need to get yourself help, seek some counseling even if it is just Narc Anon. You need to learn that he is hurting you and that you are better than this.
