How bad is it to snort oxies and vic

[LettinGo]

My BF has been doing it and now his ear is bleeding. Could it be form snorting the pills? Anyone else have this happen?

Well I'm sorry (in a way) that it worked out that way...Funny about the timing though huh?   You were thinking about giving him the boot and he splits, probably to some girls house that shares (appreciates him as he says) his addiction...He knew you didn't and thank God you didn't....Good idea about changing the locks.......Change the locks from the garage to the house too.....If he tries to break in, I hate to say this, but call the cops.   Good move, good work, good luck.........

My boyfriend kicked me out 2 days before my 25th birthday because I told him I was addicted to pills... I was buying them on the street for about $300 a week.  I instantly realized I was destroying the life I've worked so hard to make for us. He is an amazing man who has done many things for me. I returned home the day after he kicked me out with a list of the things I was going to change - the first of which was stop doing drugs (pills, weed, e, etc...). He believed me and even though I failed at stopping the pills at that time (I couldn't take the w/d at work so I sceduled a vacation for this week so I could stop)  I am now on day 3 and I am really excited about the life we  are about to lead together...

This won't happen for you unless your boyfriend TRULY wants to get clean... I didn't do it for my bf, I did it for ME and he is a huge perk to being clean. :)

I'm rambling but my point is that you're DEFINITELY doing the right thing by being very clear that you will not have him in your life as an addict. Addicts seek enablers and helping his addiction will not be helpful for either of you. Good luck!!!

Thank you people for talking to me yesterday. When I got home from work he was gone. he left a note saying he would be staying with someone who appreciates him more than me. I have no idea who that person is because we rarely went anywhere. Anyway I have gathered up all his things and put them in the garage for when he wants them. I am also changing the locks on my doors. Thank you for being here. I don't know what I would have done without you.

You know, to have a safe place, perhaps its worth it to hear one or two "I told u so's"........They might surprise you and be so happy you gave up the jerk they will forgoe the urge to say they were right....Funny how folks get that urge........To have a safe place to stay though, perhaps you can "tune them out" for a while.

wow i didn't even know one could smoke vikes

You are making a good decision.......Do you have someplace to go?   You cannot be scared in your own house....I spent my entire childhood scared.....It's NOT fun...Get out..

Too bad your parents do the "I told you so" thing.  Does that mean you can't stay there?  Heck you are better off in a motel than being scared in your own home...God knows I lived in a motel for year in Miami......Home is where "you are safe".....Get out.

He could be smoking the oxy......If he is smoking vics, then yyyeeeeecccch, what a crappy taste.  If you have made up your mind and you think you are strong enough (I think you are) it might be smart to be gone before he gets back....That way, all the crying, whining, and begging, in the world won't change your mind.

[LettinGo]

I'm not sure what I am going to do when he gets back. I just found this glass thingy that is all black on the bottom. I think he is smoking pills too. I am packing a bag in case I just have to leave. I think I will leave a list of rehabs in our area when I go to work and hope he chooses to that. He hasn't been very nice and I have been getting really scared sometimes. I don't think I can be around this anymore. It is too scary. Thank you guys for talking to me I don't have anyone else to ralk too my family would just say I told you so.

That was good advice june..............................

[juneblaze09]

Maybe you should really talk to him about this and tell him that he needs to get help or it's not going to work out...if he chooses not to get help...then that just shows how much he really cares about your relationship....not trying to get you upset or anything but if this isn't the lifestyle that you want to be around then you should try to get him to get help or move on.....i know it sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do ya know!!

Well if he is lying to the ER people he is wrong, it is illegal.    Perhaps you need to save yourself.  Examine your feelings and see if they are deep enough to fight this battle with him.  I'm not saying to throw him to the dogs, but I might be saying don't let the dogs eat you too.

BTW, Methadone is just as bad an addiction as herion, but they don't tell you that.  Well maybe its not as bad as junk, but it IS bad.......Suggest suboxone.   Do you love him enough to go to h e l l with him?  Its a good question to ask yourself.

[LettinGo]

I don't think I can do this much longer. he was snorting heroin here and there then said he wnated to get on methadone but never did, now hwe is snorting up these pain pills ans syas it is better because it isn't illegal. He is really, really bad and is about to loose his job. I'm not home all the time because I work at night so I can't check on him. This is getting wway too weird for me.

I would be seriously concerned about the bleeding in the ear.....The sinus cavities are all connected somehow (I don't know how, or for sure but think this), so there is already something serious going on.  In all my years of snorting Coke, I NEVER bled in my ear.  He may have already popped some blood vessel if not in his brain, then darn close to it.  I think all of our ears are pretty dog-gone close to our brains......The adulterants in the pills are doing "something" hurtful.....Call an ER and ask anonomously.  Use a pay phone if you are nervous about caller ID.....You need to check with some medical person to see just what might be.  I'm thinking he could be closer to an ambulance than we are typing here.

No BF may not be a horrible person, but he is becoming one.  All the relies here only mean to help LettinGo, who is more important at this time than the bf.  My 2 cents.

Beach was right about the adulterants, in the pills.  Its bad enough to snort the med...He could OD on that, if its ocs.  The adulterants, are the glue that holds the pills together and the dye that makes them the color they are.  Permanent nose and septum damage are only the very beginning of the dangers.  The fact that he was mad at you for not doing it for him is indicitive that its time for you to examine your true feelings for him.  His emotions are being controlled by the dope.  The dope is more important than you at this point, and I really really mean no harm or offense by that.  The addication is doing his talking and acting.  Only addicts snort pills.  Several others have written that and it is SO true.  Sooner or later he will run out of ER places to go and if he gets anything at all it will be weak tylenol 3, so hes going to end up snorting tylenol, bad for his nose AND his liver.

He's going to get pain meds huh?

[LettinGo]

Well, he just left and he didn't look good and said he was going to an urgent care place. He was soooo mad at me for not doing it for him. I wish he would listen to me or anybody else. I don't think I can stay here much longer if he won't stop doing this.

[lunachick]

my b-f did the same exact stuff for me.You don't wanna go down that same road believe me.

[bettie1976]

get him into a detox? make HIM go to the ER and come clean with THEM about WHY his freakin ear is bleeding?

[bettie1976]

My bf went to the ER for me countless times because he didnt wanna see me sick. He was also doctor shopping for me. He just really knew what I was going thru and didnt wanna see me hafta go sleep with my ex to get some. Thats really how bad I was. And yet he stuck by me. Im not saying you should go to the ER for him. B/C of me, my bf was labeled as a drug seeker at his doc's (even tho he came clean to her about why he was getting pain meds from her on my advice) and at a hospital or two. Weve straightened some of that out.

[LettinGo]

Thank you for  getting back to me. Funny, it was my BF that found this site, He is in trouble and I can't seem to talk sense into him about this. He has even asked me if I would go to the ER and pretend to have an ear ache to ge him more pain meds and I said definately not. Right now he is just crying and laying in bed. I don't know what to do.

[lunachick]

for real *wink*

[IBKleen]

Here we go again.NOBODY said ANYTHING wrong!

Let's stop it right here before it gets out of hand!

Hugs at ya.......

[marcatj]

[Shattered]

Beach is correct. Only Addicts snort pills
