Ok, My boyfriend who im am absolutly in love with and so blessed to have in my life has suddenly picked up an addiction to roxies/blues.  actually i cant even call it an addiction just yet becase its a new habit and not used regularly, YET. i know the drug and i am familiar with it, even though i never tried it myself i have lost alot of friends to it. I know he is playing with fire right now and it kills me, he has already starting with the lies and the money issues and although when he is on them i can tel becuase i know what to look for, im trying to figure out a way to help him stop before he REALLY starts (and thats saying IF its not already too late) i have a great paying job, we live in a beautiful house, and the man i know is fading. he even told me that he was doing pills oocasionally (which i already knew) and told me to help him out by basically "babysitting" him. going everywhere with him, and i didnt mind that because i love being in his company when he is sober. but when he is on it he is a maniac. his temper was borederline unbearable before, but ever since this started its been worse. Not only do i want him better for HIM, but i NEED him better for me. Basically what im asking is to all of u who were previously addicted or currently are. besides LONG talks about how much i love him and hate seeing him high.... what can i do? or what can i say? this is an opportunity to look at it from outside what ur used to. u dont know me but i cant stand watching him hurt himself anymore, and i know its only going to get worse. so whats ur best advice for someone who is genuinely trying to help? how can i help him?
please write back soon....
thanks.

Not necessarily a pill problem, a back and then surgery problem. Surgery was two weeks ago but the results now are not very encouraging. I'm trying to believe what my surgeon is telling me about the nerve recouperating and pain I still am having in bursts, but it seems to be getting worse.I had this done 5 years ago so I've got something to reflect upon..

.But I guess in answering your question,,yes,I have a pill problem and my meds were taken by a third party recently..Had to do a super fast taper the past 4 days from a high dose of oxycontin and percocets..I am in forced CT at present..The level of wd's I'm having tell me I'm in deep..Not too good..Had an 8 day taste of this once..Trying to see if I can endure this and walk on. I'm so sick of being sick and tired..Somethings got to give.
