HI everyone, I am new here and really need some help. I myself have never taken drugs, but I fell madly in love with a man who has a serious problem with it. He just got put in the hospital, and none of my friends or family know. His family put him there and as his mother and I are pretty close I have talked to her a few times, but it still hurts ot be so alone. Methadone was his particular vice. He had been clean for so long, and was the most amazing person. I have a feeling that most addicts have that warm, loving personality that draws you in when they are clean. Then, some dumbass doctor gave him valium and it went downhill from there. We still talk often, but I was just hoping some of you could give me the cold hard facts as to what I'm looking at here. The more I read about methadone addiction, the more I see of him. Even down to the restless legs one woman described, as well as the fainting. I had no clue. I feel so helpless and alone, someone please talk to me about this.
Lonely,

I've been in a relationship with a Methadone addict for 5 years. He also takes various pills. Valium, Zanax etc. Over the last 2 years I somehow became desensitized to it all and began using myself. Now we use each other to support our habits. We talk about quitting every day and may even be moving in the right direction. Looking back I wish I had ran when I had the chance. Facing reality Methadone addiction takes several days of tolerable sickness followed by several weeks or even months of depression and sleep problems. Your chances of making it through chronic drug addiction without a relapse and without professional help are slim but if you really want it anything is possible.
Good luck
Good luck
