getting clean off oxy's

by Kristy_27, Sep 29, 2007 01:08AM
I want to thank everyone who has offered me advice and support through my tough times.  I'm trying to help my boyfriend get clean after two years of drug abuse.  I'm scared that he's not getting better because he's taking other things to try to help with his withdrawal.  I feel partially to blaim because I pushed him to go back to work but it's only because I can't pay all our bills by myself.  I'm scared he's just going to keep substituting one thing with another and don'tknow how to encourage him to suck it up, deal with the pain and depression and try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.  I want so bad to see it myself and i'm having a hard time doing that.  God f I can't see the light how can I help him to.

He needs NA and you need al a non.  He needs to hear and see people who have gotten through this and oyu need to be around other women who have dealt with this also.  No one understands and addcit better than an addict and no one understands the partner of an addict like another partner of an addict.
Please give it a try.  If you are both **** to do this without any outside help the chances of him getting and staying clean and sober are next to none and you will be looking at a lifetime of replapses..

You should go to meetings togther see and hear other peoples stories and what they went through and how they delt w/it...

Maybe a detox would be good for him even if it's just a week it will help. I know you said you're strugeling finacially, but maybe you can put a week on hold and not longer if things don't get better.
