Tina, Robbie & Guest

Thanks for replying you have put my mind at rest.

They are for my boyfriend he is really struggling at the moment. He relapsed about 6 months ago after being released from prison, he'd been clean for about 2 years. It started with just 1 bag a week, now it's every day. It's really got a hold over him again. He is trying to get clean again, he brought the subies of someone so he can't ask a doctor. I'm trying to get him to seak professional help but he is worried his probation officer will find out that he has broken his parole conditions. It's a bit of a nightmare. I have told him to join this message board but he is not to good with a computer. Anyway thanks again for the info I will pass it on. All the best xx

p.s Tina I will look on the pill board, cheer's xx
Liza,
You are in a tough situation here....
It is so hard wathcing this and I am sure you so want him to get it, get clean, stay there. Yet this is his, all his and even sub ain't gonna fix that. Will take the pain, will set things right but he will have to come off and will have to learn to live life on it's terms, and how to not use to cope....
Sub is a tricky drug, and it really should be given by a doctor but then desperation so shines and a way out, a way out...screams. This is not an easy way out I hope he knows that. And it is addictive in itself, after about 3 weeks. So if he is gonna do this then he must be educated and be on and off fast....
He really should be seeking out the answer himself. I know you want to help but he is more then capable of taking care of himself.
Send him to the pill board, and for you there is a family board as I am sure you need a help as well....
You are not alone please know that. I sit on the same side, my hubby loves that heroin, well did. Think that love affair finally found an end.
Take good care of you, and live and enjoy each day. Let him worry for him, and well he might have to face the consequences of his actions that has nothing to do with you as you didn't f*ck up...
Love,
Tina

..How Are you both..( you and your b/f )..
..Yep tina,s right..but the doctor thing is a tricky situation..i know there should be doctor/patient confidentiallity (if thats how its spelt lol )..But if you b/f does seek help for his addiction and does get the help he needs..his name will be put on the home office list as a known drug addict..so i dunno about the probation situation ?..as tina said..subs/methadone wotever..your b/f has to really want to stop..does he have a bag of heroin and says "this is definately my last one" ?..we have all said that..but the next day we were back on the phone again ringing our heroin dealer..you can give him the support he needs and a shoulder..but you can,t make him stay off it..only he can do that..maybe he can come on here with you..if hes not good on the pc..then you can be beside him helping say what he needs to say..you did,nt mention how much heroin he takes daily..tell us how much he uses..because he needs to know how much sub he can take..to little sub won,t be enough to stop the w/ds..but to much can actually make you feel like s***..and you don,t think you,ve had enough and you take a bit more sub..and that makes ya feel worse..anyway i wish you both well and hope he can get off his addiction...try let us know exactly how much heroin he uses..take care..talk soon maybe..good luck..Robbie..
