i posted a question a few days ago about my partner using heroin.He does want to get of it wished he,d never have started taking it in the first place.I have a brother who has been an addict since he was 18 he,s now 36,been in and out of prison through it.Has come out clean 6months down the road he,s back on it.I know all the signs,what to look for.He distroyed the family robbed us blind, but there is one thing ive never done and thats turn my back on him,also he was injecting,in prison again now. I know that my boyfriend is not at the worst stage yet,he,s not had any since saturday morning,struggled a bit last night in bed,very figgity. But stuck it out. He knows if he carrys on im not going to put up with it i cant i have children to think about.But im doing my best to stay with him as i love him alot,and know he can kick this habit. But my question was should he make the appointment at the docs first.? My view is you can get clean but dont stay clean forever. Am i wrong by saying that.
