Need to move on!

Hello I am wondering if I may overstep some boundaries or if you think this will haunt me. I have been using opiate-based pain pills for a year and a half now, with two months in between. I started with my ex, who gets roxy's and oxy's (30 mg and 80 mg). I know, some boyfriend. Well that's all over but now I have been seeing a doc for my legitamate back pain, although I know in my heart I can do without. So, I am on my second time around trying to quit. It's really a mental addiction for me, I only think about the next couple of hours. But I have completely changed since starting all this so I really want my life back.
I was prescribed Vicodon and since yesterday talking with my doctor I have Darvocet. So that is my first question, do you think weaning off with Darvocet is effective on the physical level?
I also have been fighting with a moral issue. I broke down last week and went to my ex's to get the roxys. Lucky for me, I have an overprotective new boyfriend and he sensed it coming, and had someone follow me, which brought the issue to life again, and this is why I am now trying to get off, again. Part of me wants to turn in my ex. He has gotten so many people on these things and ruined so many lives. I know if he is in jail I will feel some kind of closure, or some satisfaction. I know some cops and investigators and have been considering setting up a sting. Do you think this would be a wise decision? I have been fighting with it for days and don't know what is right.
Your input would be appreciated.

I was faced with something similiar. I chose not to go thru with it. Work on yourself, and don't add anymore stress. He is only one guy- one dealer. When he falls another will replace him. He'll get caught and go down. The person I was considering turning in has gone down. It took about 8 months, but I'm so glad now that I did not get involved. Although what he's doing is wrong, you are in no place to make him pay. You could be jeopardizing yourself in the process.

Do some research on Google about darvocet.  My doctor has prescribed darvocet for me for chronic pain, and I am super careful.  If you read about how addictive darvocet is I think you'll decide not to take anything, unless you can have someone else give them to you only when you need them.  I was reading that darvocet has been banned in the UK.  I'm not sure if that's true, but people accidentally overdose on darvocet quite often because they do not think it's that dangerous.  So, my advice is give it to someone to give to you whenever you really need it or don't take it at all.  

I'm glad you've found someone who is looking out for your best interests!  You CAN do this!  Good luck and prayers being sent your way!!!
