Hello, I just found this website and I see this post was a while ago, but I am here if you want to talk
Hello jayjay. I can greatly emphasize with you, my boyfriend is using again and unfortunately that behavior is very common. My boyfriend has foot pain and was prescribed opiates young, he has been in prison, and he is in pain most days. Your boyfriend will probably reach out to you, but this cycle will keep repeating. Heroin addicts love nothing more than heroin. It changes the makeup of the brain and changes who people are. My boyfriend is a very good liar and its scary…..he is very loving and funny and then goes to the bathroom and comes back short tempered and out of it. It is a tricky slope and I hope he doesn’t take you down with him. Think about your future and if this is something you want to live with, it is draining. Addicts can only help themselves if they want to get better. You can have the best resources and the best doctors, but if he doesn’t care then it is useless. It does not seem like your boyfriend wants to quit anytime soon. My best advice would be to look into a narcan kit and try to focus on yourself. If he is using heroin it is easy to switch to cheaper methods or even shooting up (he can easily overdose). I have seen heroin addicts agree to go to appointments like these just to use heroin when they get home. I am sorry, I really feel for you and its hard. I hope you are taking care of yourself. I am an EMT and living with an addict and I have seen all sorts of things of what heroin does to people.
