Should I stay with a heroin addict who is in rehab after relapsing?

08 Jun

I’ve been with him for 10 yrs and we recently got married. He’s been on heroin for 3 yrs now. He came forward a year ago and wanted help so did cold turkey. He was clean for 3 months and started using again behind everyone’s back. We got married thinking he is clean. He pawned almost everything in our house, jewelry, laptop, brand new xbox, dvd player, brand new 52″ tv and he was on the run for two days. He finally came home and I found out he even sold his mercedes radio and navigation system. I am torn apart. I have nothing left inside of me. He wants help and will be going to rehab and tells me he loves me and will fix everything. He is currently staying at his parents house. I need advice on what to do. I know I deserve better but I love and care about him a lot but suffered way too much to forgive him. Help!!!!!!

My parents beg me to stay away from him and to forget him and move on with my life.

How do you help a heroin addict?

07 Jun

My dad has been using heroin (needles) for over 30 yrs now, I was put up for adoption at age 9, I’m 32 yrs now and hes still using. He just got out of prision a few weeks ago after 2 yrs for possession and hes using again. He lives in an abandoned house no electricity, no water its pretty discusting. I went to take him food 2 days ago and he was all wasted, so I left with out giving him food. I am so angry because he has no intention on quiting and I really want to bring him back and be apart of our lives since he missed out on me growing up.

 

I used to be a heroin addict and have been clean for 4 years…?

06 Jun

It has been four years since I last used heroin. I never went through rehab, or to NA or any other programs. I kicked the habit on my own, and have ever once considered going back to it. Recently, I’ve started feeling depressed, sleeping a lot, and having panic attacks like I did in the first few months of being clean. But now I’m starting to feel the same way again. I have heard there are lasting effects to addiction, I’m just wondering if this recent bout with depression could be related to that?

 

I’m a heroin addict?

05 Jun

Ok, to start im a 20 yr old male. I started using heroin about 5 or 6 months ago, when i was 19. I really hate what ive become. I have an awesome girlfriend, who doesnt have any idea about my problem, actually, none of my family knows. im a very skilled guitar player, but havent done anything productive since i started using. I know that in a twisted way, im fortunate to be seeking help this early in my addiction. so yes, my withdrawal period will be easier than someone whos been using for years but, at the same time, im to far in for it to be anywhere near easy. going cold turkey is not an option, i tried, and became extremely sick, and i never want to feel that way again. also an in house rehab center wouldnt work, because i have a fulltime job and i really dont want anyone to know about this, my family, friends, or co workers. Once im off, relapsing wont be an obstacle. It wont happen, im so ready to be off this damn drug. man, a methadone treatment would be ideal, but i want a doc.

 

Why do people become so addicted to heroin?

05 Jun

I have never tried it and never will, but what makes people so addicted to this drug. Iv seen so many people destroyed by it, I don’t understand why do it. Whats the feeling?

 

My sister is a heroin addict, what do i do?

05 Jun

My sister is 18, since she was 11 she has been a nightmare, kicked out of school at 12, in trouble with the police for selling drugs and attacking police officers at 13 sent to a special school for bad kids, in foster care as she lied and said my mum was horrible to her. When she was 17 she got on heroin. She Then came off it about 4 months later with help of pills. She then said she had changed and was stupid blah blah blah. Anyway i now find out from my mum she is back on it. I cant help but hating her so much, i have no sympathy and dont feel sorry for her in anyway. She used all the excuses such as i wanted to try it last time but for me, they dont work again. My poor mother is going out of her mind, she isnt sleeping and to make matters worse she is due to go on holiday for the first time in 5 years next week. She is thinking about cancelling now. I absolutely despise my sister for what she is doing. Im bored of her “No one loves me” and “you dont understand” stories How do i cope with this and help my mum cope? I live abroad which doesn’t help. To me she is just a selfish, attention seeking nobody. It may sound harsh to a lot of you but unless you have been in the same situation then please don’t bother judging!! I just need some advice please.
She is too selfish and self absorbed to admit she has an addiction. To her its “oh we dont understand” or ” oh we dont know what she is going through”. My mum isnt strong enough to just cut her off until she realises she is hurting everyone around her. All her boyfriends are junkies who sell heroin for a living. She is a lost cause as far as im concerned. Rehab isnt for her as she is too lazy to go and the doctors wont send her. As far as im concerned she is dead already. I know it sounds terrible and i hate saying it but the way i see it is that if she wasn’t my sister i would feel the same, so why feel different because she is family? She has done nothing but cause my family grief since about the age of 12, and i wouldnt accept that from a stranger so why accept it from an attention seeking, immature child?

Also to me its not an addiction, especially not twice, its a way of life. And thats the life she chooses to live. I just wish my mum would feel the same way.

 

is this a heroin addict relapse?

03 Jun

my baby’s father used to do heroin. about 4 years ago he came off of it himself and was doing really good. recently i have noticed that he is having massive mood swings, feeling sick a lot, not sleeping well at all and when he does he wakes up every hour or so. he also hasn’t been eating well at all and when he does he seems to get sick. he just seems depressed all of the time even though he has so much to be happy for. and from what i hear occasionally he will buy a methadone pill off of one of our friends from work. i have talked to that friend and they told me that it doesn’t happen very often at all. maybe once a month if that. i am just really worried about him and i dint know what to do. he told me that he went to his doctors about feeling sick all the time and they don’t know what is wrong with him.
i mean it has been so long since he has done it. i know that it truly never goes away but why now are the symptoms and everything appearing. its like out of no where

 

If you are a Heroin Addict

And you slam drugs into your body, you have Hep C and HIV, if your mate or significant other contracts it, could this be a felony?

 

Why would a heroin addict want to get high after being sober for 200+ days?

02 Jun

I am 18 years old. I started shooting heroin when I was sixteen. I fell off the edge and submitted myself to a terrible lifestyle. After coming to the conclusion I just wasn’t happy, I quit using heroin. Detox was worse than death and I luckily made my way through my hell. I have now been sober for around 200 days. I am getting unrelentless urges to start using again even though i know the pain and horror i put myself through. Why now? I thought I left this behind me. Any tips?

 

Heroin Addict relatives mooching off of elderly parents — I’m telling them to get out!?

02 Jun

The brothers do some good by watching after the elderly parents, but also borrow money from dear old alzheimer’s mom and 93 year old dad who is a softie for their habit. I’m trying to keep the parents safe but live out of state. They are running out of their social security money by the middle of the month. I just want to get a handle on this. I’ve threatened the brothers with eviction, but they know that I need them to watch my folks. I’m at wits end. Any suggestions?

 

Ex (?) heroin addict boyfriend unpredictable, abusive behavior. Need advice!?

01 Jun

Hi all. This will take a while to read but please bear with me. I really need advice! I’ve been dating my boyfriend for a year and a half. I’ve been very much in love with him since we first met, we’ve discussed marriage repeatedly but I’ve broken off the engagement twice because of his behaviors. As soon as I met him, he told me he had cancer (which he still hasn’t proven to this day). Anyway, he began using heroin about 6 months into the relationship–he claims because of the cancer thing–although he has a history of abusing other drugs. I had no idea this was going on, and wondered why he changed from being a wonderful, caring guy into a monster. He drained my bank account, staged a break in of my place and stole valuables, etc–all the while denying that he had anything to do with it (at the time I still didn’t know about his habit). He became physically and emotionally abusive. (after a certain point, I started giving it back to him too though, so I’m no angel as far as that goes.)
I truly believe he is a pathological liar. I’ve caught him in lies throughout the relationship, and he’s so good at lying that I find it hard to believe anything he says. Anyway, he’s supposedly clean now since OD’ing in November, but I’ll still find questionable marks on his arms, or notice his pinned pupils on occasion, which everytime I bring these things up and ask why he says “I don’t know” and he gets angry.
He seems to pick fights out of nowhere, then refuses to answer my calls or speak to me. He yells at me and says I’m smothering and too controlling, and honestly I AM on him alot, but it’s because of all of his lying and past behaviors. I fell like he’s driving ME crazy. He’s so hurtful and always turns things he does wrong around on me, saying I do them too, etc etc.
I don’t know why I’m staying, except that i love him. Everybody I know hates him, but I just can’t leave. If anybody has any SERIOUS and helpful advice, I’d be overjoyed to hear it. I don’t know what to do. Thanks so much for taking time to read this!

 

Are you a heroin addict?

31 May

Have you stopped? Do you know anyone who was able to stop? How did they do it?

 

how do find ways to get over my “rocovering heroin” addict he’s on my mind 24/7?

31 May

yesterday i asked everyone about how do i make my “recovering heroin” addict know how much he’s hurt me. so many of you gave me great advice. one person said “addicts thrive on the care of their loved ones & they wont care if they keep hurting them” i have kept away for almost two months now but i have to find things to make me get over him. please don’t tell me that i need to go out and do things or go on a trip or even therapy. i’m doing all that, it’s just not working. does any one have any great ideas. i know time will heal things but in the mean time how do i find strategies that work. i’m just getting tired of letting this drag and ruin my days. i feel like i’m consumed with it and i can’t focus on anything. i admit the intensity of missing him has diminished but i don’t want to have to go through this for months. some even have told me it would take me a year. i can’t waste all that time over someone who is never going to become my partner.
