Not necessarily true. I don't have problems around people that drink. I have problems around people that DRINK LIKE I DRANK.

I'm cool with a few cocktails or beers. But if someone breaks out the shots, it's time for me to go.

Mail her a $500 check for final payment.

Told me she was taking 6-7 a day at 15$ a pop.

Most i've ever done is 30mg a day for a few weeks.

Luckily for her, she didn't find heroin.

Hanging out with someone that uses occasionally is not as the same as living with and/or loving someone who uses casually and when the other person that has a potentially fatal case of substance abuse. Living with a user is not going to work for some that must understand Sobriety is Absolute.

As a 15 year on and off opiate abuser - mostly on - I finally did enough damage, in the eyes of the woman I loved, to justify her bringing me divorce papers while in rehab. I was left at the lowest point in my life. It was my one and only attempt at in patient rehab, and thus far it’s worked. I have been clean for almost two years now. It’s my understanding that statistically, i am the exception to the rule.


I have nothing but praise for you my friend. Great job getting cleaned up, recognizing that it was you who needed to change, and having the courage to share your journey with others.

I would expect you to do very well in the future with this humble attitude. This world would be a better place if more people would own their mistakes.

She was taking Roxies and she is probably lying and was really doing heroin. Like every other opiate addict nowadays. Even if she was getting pills they were most likely fake and nothing but heroin and fentanyl pressed with some fillers.

Haven’t read much on this thread but allow me to be frank. If she was spending enough to have to steal and pawn she was getting boned for money too. Or at least her dealer was giving her the dick and a discount.

I don’t smoke or drink. I can count on one hand how many pills I’ve taken in the last few months. I have no problem being sober. I Didn’t touch any narcotics for 6 years before I had 3 surgery’s in under a year. I was 3 days clean in December and I was feeling good, then I had a Crohns flare up and ended up in the hospital for 3 days being shot up with Dilaudid and sent home with a prescription. It’s a vicious cycle.


I think it would be a good idea for you to get help as well.

Thanks man.

My heart absolutely breaks for the OP, as there are no answers here that offer 100 pct predictability. He could stay with her, thus “de-inctivizing” her to get clean for the right reasons (which means she likely won’t stay clean), or leave someone that he obviously loves at the very time she MOST needs that love. That’s a horrible set of options for anyone that really loves someone.

I’m a bad advice giver, but if a gun were put to my head, and a decision had to be made by me (if I were in his shoes), I’d likely go with what another poster said regarding the lack of need to make a permanent decision right this second. Something along the lines of wait and see how her attitude is during rehab, etc.

OP, I wish you and your GF the best, Downvite all you want, but ima stop what I’m doing to pray for you, her, and y’all. I don’t know how this feels from your end, but know exactly what she’s going through. It’s painful to remember that kinda stuff - this thread hits home for me.

That was the point. $800 doesn't go very far when it comes to pain pills. It's why everyone switches to heroin.



My point is that would not last them a month

Could forgive the drugs with a clear plan to get well.

Could not forgive the theft. No way.

There was a post on here last year about a guy that moved to a small Arkansas town. Married a chick from there that he dated for about 2 years. She was in her 20's. She had a baby and had complications. Doctor prescribed pain meds. She got hooked and started doing Heroin. Husband and her brother went looking for her after she didn't come home one night. FOund her at black dude drug dealer house. They had been railing her all night to pay off her debt.

Husband finds out the girl was an addict and the family kept it from him during dating and wedding in hopes she could live a normal life.

Moral of the story is be glad you found out now or one day your going to be knocking on some guys door who has been turning her guts inside out.

I remember that thread. Truth about the OP. He needs to run away fast.
