Girlfriend of 3 1/2 years started abusing opiates behind my back to deal with a traumatic event in her life.


You are buying in to her addiction lies. She uses because she likes how it makes her feel. She is not the victim.

More importantly, as others have mentioned - she has been trading sex for drugs. The only reason a female addict is stealing stuff for $$ - is that every dealer she knows is already tired of banging her and wants cash for a change.

Think about that for a second. ALL the trashy dealers have finished using her body for sex and now it has no value.

Dude, run away fast.

No wonder why you can’t keep track of money.


In all seriousness, I hope she gets the help she needs. It already sounds like you were ready to move on and this was a final straw type of situation. God bless you both.

RUN!!!!

my cousin went through something like this. He had no idea she was a former drug user (not weed, pills and meth and shite) we tried to tell him but how do you tell a guy "hey we think your fiance used to be a crack whore"? a couple of weeks in to their marriage one of her friends died and I guess she got back on meth when she went to the funeral and was around her old junkie friends. My cousin had to move out of HIS house because of how bad she had gotten. He rented a safe house and it took him over a year to get the divorce final. He then had to pay the crazy bitch a few months of alimony and the judge just turned a blind eye to the fact that she loaded up all of his shite with the help of some crack heads and sold it. When he finally got her out of his house even the cabinet handles were gone. She literally took the kitchen sink. In court she cried to the judge and said he was abusive and the judge just ate it up.

Give her a chance while she goes through rehab. But, clearly establish your boundaries.......one slip and see ya Felicia.

I've been watching this documentary called Breaking Bad and it really paints a bleak picture of drug abusers.
I would suggest that you dump her and binge watch Breaking Bad for reference.

Hope this helps.

A lot of otherwise normal and productive people have gotten addicted.

Dear 420,

Smoking weed to change the way you feel because you cannot be happy sober is not better or worse thsn your girlfriend taking opiates to change the way she feels when sober. If you want to save her you need to become sober first.

Thanks for asking our opinion.

Well this is simply untrue...

Opiates are chemically addictive. That addiction often starts due to over perscription from a doctor. This is not true with weed.

She’s sick.

It wasn’t her doing those horrible things it was the disease inside her. She has no more of an idea of why she does those things than you do. The willpower in an addict is nonexistent. The brain gets damaged and takes time to heal... but will heal if given the chance.

I will tell you this though, there is no greater life than one lived by someone given a second chance after substance abuse. If the person does it right, their life becomes one of happiness, joy and that fundamental feeling that life is good. Takes time to get there, but if she does, you’ll definitely want to be along for the ride.

I’m all about helping those who need it but you can’t get dragged into the mess. You can be supportive but taking her back doesn’t have to be part of it.
Of course her dad wants you to take her back. You could file theft charges if you wanted to.
Move on...

I've scanned the entire thread and see that the OP has been given great advice on posting pics, however I do see one very important piece of advice missing.

PIIHB (but wrap up first...maybe a double wrap)

Yeah, before the crackdown, that would get you about 160 vic 10s. That will last about a month for someone that's truly addicted.

Give her a chance, set firm boundaries when she gets out. Do you plan on marrying this girl? And remember she’s not a bar person. She’s sick and needs help.

People can come back from opiates. I did. I've been clean for 11 years now. You can beat it. It's tough. I deal with it everyday. Somebody in this thread said it best. The pills they do whisper. Please believe me. I still feel the calling everyday, but I said enough was enough. I have my own family, a great job and I get called a lot to speak at functions of recovery to tell my story. I can be of great help here if need be,
