Honey, you're in denial. Is there someone you trust (doctor, adult friend, teacher, school counsellor) you can talk to. if you can't discuss this with your parents? You need help and it IS available. Medical professionals will move heaven and earth to get help for anyone under 18. You're hurting inside over something and the drugs are a way to escape those bad feelings. You have your whole life ahead of you - school, work, love, maybe travel, marriage and children.
She got a DWI in Texas, lost her job. She went into a rehab due to her drug addiction. Within one day, she said she was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder which she call her disease. When she got out of rehab she was a zombie. I've never seen her in that messed up of a state in my life. She is now at another rehab and now says that her disease caused her to make all the poor choices.
He is aware of what I am doing, have hurt him more than once due to this addiction. Anyway, I want to run up to him this morning, about 3 hours away where I know nobody. He would be there for me. My job, ha, am spending in a day and a half what I make in two weeks......and is where I met the other addicts, not too safe a place for me to spend time. (get my money from divorce settlement, how clearly an addidct, to actually be cashing out stock and an IRA for money, omg.
About three weeks ago he had a seizure at home due to his misuse/abuse of the prescription meds at which time they did a thorough drug screening and did not cite heroin as the cause, although we suspected. That was when we discovered the significance of the prescription medications he is taking. We recently discovered he did relapse and used heroin around that time as well. He only acknowledges his use after lying lying and lying.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I couldn't confront him though-he feels he's indestructible and on top of the world...no one can touch him, nothing will save him. But it does help in knowing that people have kicked an addiction and now I'll leave it in God's hands.
Because I had the vision of a peaceful life without addiction as a part of it. I know that someone with addiction to whatever often have a lifetime battle and that the drug of choice is more important than me to them. It's a hard, HARD life. It's your choice if you want to walk this walk and risk what the future usually holds by tethering yourself to an alcoholic.
You won't be alone if you choose to stay. Many women (men too) choose to.
confront them explain alcohol and drug are the same thing if he abused alcohol and he is willing to get them by "any means necessary" that sure sounds like there is a problem .
Addiction is categorzied by maladaptive behavior that is typically out of character for the person, including doing things that are harmful, without any regard for the consequences, in order to get the drug. Addiction includes mental cravings for the meds, where dependency is almost always just physical in nature.
It's important for you to determine which category you would fit into, if indeed this is even a concern for you.
It was given out like aspirin. It is very unfortunate that it became a schedule one drug, with the drug enforcement administration tracking down phjysicians who prescribe it. Valium does degrade situational awareness as well as intellectual acuity, and may interfere with driving safety, although that is more of a problem for the first time user. I have used it (prescribed by a physician) rarely, when under extreme stress, and then only for a day or two, and never became addicted.
My husband whom I left to a percocet addiction recently received a Tylenol with Codeine prescription for his "BACK PAIN". Shouldn't he NOT have this narcotic due to his severe addiction to oxycodone? ALong with addiction to other drugs and alcohol in the past....he has a very addictive personality. To add to all of this...they gave him 50 pills...what doctor would do that?? The doctor with the Percocet addiction gave him 200 pills in every month.????
with all due respect to Raaj_1973 I differ G R E A T L Y regarding whether You should stay or leave.
The question of whether He has a 'disease', "is sick", or whether He's ADDICTED is highly debate able. Alcohol IS a drug and alcohol IS addictive - it's a drug addiction just like any other. If the alcoholic has a 'disease' well then, so does the smoker, the meth addict, the heroin addict, etc., etc.
