please help me figure this out!!

hey there
ive been living with my roomate for a year now and had no idea why she is always snappy and moody. she's an alcoholic on top of me  just finding cocaine in her car, which she denies, i know she pops percocet and vicoden like candy, and i just found a large white pill called " methocarbamol "  which i have noooo idea what it is. Now, my question for you is should i be concerned about that white pill on top of everything else?? what should i do if she's in denial about her addiction?? please help!!
thank you

if she is an alcoholic than it is very likely she is addicted to the drugs too. an addictive personality pretty much cannot use anything without becoming addicted.

let her read some of the posts here. the nightmares people are going through. there must be some underlying reasons that she is wanting to get high all the time or drink. and that is another thing she needs to confront.

don't make it easy on her. confront her and other people she knows too that you guys think she is addicted to all this stuff and in trouble. that she needs to do something about it.

Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxer, a mild one, but a muscle relaxer just the same. I would DEFINETLY be concerned about her behavior, however I would also be concerned about your safety. If she is an addict (which it sounds like she is) there is a good chance she could begin stealing from you and/or have people over that might. I think you should tell her your concerns and find yourself a new place to live!

I agree w/godezz.

I would bet my life that she's already gone through your personal items.  Just looking to see what you might have on hand should she need.

I would also bet that nothing you have is sacred anymore.  One of you needs to get out of there.  You can tell her your concerns about her drug use but until she is ready to quit your life will be in constant turmoil living there.  I hope she realizes what she is doing and will quit.  This forum is a great help.      sara

I used to be that person. i used coc, vics, percs, oxys, whatever i could get ahold of. While methocarbamol is a muscle relaxer it is of the least of the substances you mentioned that needs to be taken care of.

When I was using I would steal from anyone if it meant i could get a little $ for my next fix. (and no this is not only something that hardcore drug users do, percs and vics can make a person the same way)

My best advice here is that you or her needs to find a new place if she doesnt realize she is addicted AND do something about it.

hope this helps
