Heroin Addiction Support Group

I am a 28 year old mother of two. I am in a relationship with a man that i LOVE more then words could ever explain. He is my world. I would do anything for him. He has become an awesome daddy to my children. And the way i understand it is he had pretty bad herion addicton years ago and has lost many friens to od's. And the a year ago lost his best friend to an od on his birthday. Seemed tto be dealing with it in his own way. Then in march he had broken is elbow. over and over countless trips to the doctor and pain pills. The prescriptions have ended and he turned to buying pain pills on the street since the dr wouldnt give him anymore. And they work to take away the pain. He works on a fising boat 18 hoursa day so he uses his arm all day and is constantly in pain....... But since its hard for him to find the pills i am sorry to say that he has resorted back to using herion to stop the pain. He is being honest with me ad he is the one that come foward and told me what wa going on in the first place so i have to givehim some type of credit.... But i am so so scared that this is a disaster waiting to happen. i dont know hat to do or what to say. I cant hold down the food i ea, i am up constantly all night checking on him and i am overcome with this sense of worry all day long. I needto help him and i dont know how.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. About a month ago I walked into almost the same thing as you. Although my boyfriend was not the one to come and tell me he was doing heroin until I asked him about the needle I found in his room. This past month has been one of the hardest I have ever had to go through I have stop eating and wake up in the middle of the night to check if he is still breathing. My biggest fear is that I am going to wake up and he is going to be dead next to me...but to get rid this fear I have been doing so much in my power to find where he can get help. There is also a clinic I have been calling to help me through what I am feeling its in FL. If ever want to talk to someone about it call them they are amazing the number is # 877-711-4673 and their website is www.palmpartners.com . Now a question you need to ask him is... Are you willing to get help? If he says yes then your lucky because you can't force someone to get help if they aren't ready. On the other hand if he says know maybe you can get some people together that love him dearly to do an intervention for him.If you do the intervention make sure everyone is on the same page about what they write/read in their letters.I am actually having and intervention with my boyfriends family who I told about his heroin addict.

p.s If he is using needles you need to be very careful you can contract Hep B or C if he keeps reusing the same needles.

I hope things work out for you and him my thoughts are with you
