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

I quit using drugs 10 years ago. Do I need relapse over and over again in order to be considered an addict?
I quit using drugs the first time I really tried which was over 10 years ago. I have several addict friends who question whether or not I am an addict. I don’t need that label and frankly can live without it, however, I work in substance abuse treatment and feel strongly that addicts can overcome active addiction without having to go through relapse after relapse. Your thoughts?

This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk.
