re: Another casualty of the opiate epidemic

This whole opioid epidemic is bullshite. This is self inflicted. I don’t care if something bad happened to her it’s still her fault she got on this shite. These ppl need to accept personal responsibility for their actions of getting hook this and quit blaming some traumatic event in their lives. Bad she happens that is life, deal with it.

Word - I have been prescribed all that shite over the years and have tried street stuff as well. Never had a problem.

. I am sorry just have very strong feelings about this from watching someone destroy themselves when they had everything to lose and everyone tried to help them.

I’m with you, I’ve had about ten people die due to opiates. None were people that would have been originally labeled as drug addicts

If she was stealing from you and pawning shite, good chance she might’ve also sucked a dick or 2 for some drugs or cash to get her fix. Get yourself tested baw.

So you are asking if you should take a lying drug addicted criminal back? Hmm, that’s a tough one.

Look I am sorry this is happening to you, I really am. But in regards to her, I couldn’t care any less. I don’t wish anything bad on her but I don’t feel sorry for her. This whole opioid epidemic is bullshite. This is self inflicted. I don’t care if something bad happened to her it’s still her fault she got on this shite. These ppl need to accept personal responsibility for their actions of getting hook this and quit blaming some traumatic event in their lives. Bad she happens that is life, deal with it. I know I sound harsh but man I have seen this first hand. It never ends well when you try to help them. They need to want to get better for them not for wanting to be with someone else.

You're getting downvoted, but you're not really wrong. I've dabbled recreationally in opiates and even been prescribed opiates for 3 months for a foot surgery. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones after seeing countless friends go down this path and now my girlfriend, that I have enough self control to give it up.

It's a cop out when people say that the drugs are driving the people to act out. I know damn well that people who abuse opiates are coherent enough to know right from wrong.

I don't know. OPiates fricking talk to you like no other drug. Cocaine I could take or leave. Same with weed, benzos, meth, etc. But when I broke my back, I got hooked bad. They whisper. They make you feel like you're in pain when you're not. They make it so easy to justify. It's really surreal in hindsight.

I divorced my ex after two years of trying rehab an AA and all that. She couldn’t get her shite together. Chances are you’re won’t either.

I don't disagree, man. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but to kick me when I'm down like that and the extent she went to cover her tracks just cuts me deep.

I've been close to that ledge many times and I've been able to avoid the rabbit hole. I really wish I could help her and be compassionate, but I don't think I can forgive her for what she's done.

I see it the same way as everybody else here but with a different twist. Everybody agrees she has to go. Most say now. I say she still owes you and your family a shitload of money.

When she is through with rehab and is ready to speak about re-joining you, find out what her plan is to pay you and your family back. You cannot let her back in until restitution has been made. Also, it will do her good to stand on her own two feet while also earning enough to give you back what she stole and pissed away.

Once you are paid back it is time for some good breakup sex, then send her thieving arse down the road. She has shown that when things get tough, she will screw you and your loved ones over as easily as a stranger. She has a higher chance than most to do it again if there is no restitution or punishment for her first time.

Going to rehab will help her but it doesn't make her victims whole again. As another poster suggested, go get an STD screening because you know she was slinging some arse for a small handful of magic beans. Are you itchy?

Good luck.
