My partner, and I only discovered last December, is a heroin addict (smoking not injecting). Since then she has been to rehab twice, left early, relapsed owing thousands and is now using pregabs to ‘get clean’ as subutex was not working. She goes to her group almost daily, which is good. Here is my worry. She is always asking for money to go on trips organised by this group. And it is always £30 or £40 (or close derivatives thereof) and then some cash on the day for lunch (usually £20). I keep telling myself that it is genuine, but how many trips do they go on! She went on one yesterday and in my head I wondered if she needed cash for today they how was she going to ‘invent’ a story. Sure enough she got texts from the person who runs the group regarding acupuncture and massage session on Monday but it needed to paid by 11am today. She text back saying she was unlikely to be able to go but it feels like manipulation as she went on about, and so did the person texting, how good it will be for her achy legs and other symptoms. I want to help her in her recover. God knows she has put me through the Mill in the last 7 months, but my Spidey-Sense is going haywire. I know what will happen this morning when she wakes up (she is sleeping surprisingly well and the old cough is back) she will go on and on about the benefits of this trip. I desperately want to believe her but can’t quite come to terms with how frequent these trips for a group who don’t have any money. It feels all wrong. I don’t want to play detective and really, because of what has gone on in the past with her lies, stealing and drug use, this is last-chance saloon. Does anyone have any thought?

I would add that her pregrabs is all self-medicated and, in my view, totally wrong and dangerous. I am at the end of my tether. She offers up hope always but something is not right. Just doesn’t feel right. I think I am being played (again).
