Fiance has been using Oxycontin for 9 months

[concernedfiance]

I just found out last week that my fiance has been snorting oxycontin for the last 8-9 months. I found out because he was lying and I accused him of having an affair with a coworker. She told me the truth that they were not sleeping together, but were snorting oxycontins a few times a month. After he was "caught" he told me that he would do it sometimes 3 times a day, but would detox for a week or so. He says he does this only when it's available to him  (he was selling them to the coworker). Obviously I am not a fool, but we have a child together and I want to believe him that he has stopped. He went through withdrawl these last few days (July 15th was his last time) and seems to be ok now. I am concerned that since I did not notice this before that I would not recognize this if he went back to using. We are waiting to get some help, whether pyshcologically or from medication (if he is depressed or anxious or something) so that is a bonus that he wants to get help, but I am still trying to understand this addiction. I am not into drugs and have never been this "close" to any of them or any addicts. Is there symptoms or behaviours...anything that I can "catch" to free my mind from distrust right now, when the thought of him away from me is making me question him?

Well i think that sex would be the last thing they were doing.....Thats how my wife knows that i am doing the pill's....Because i cant get into sex.....So atleast you have that.......I also think Methadone,Oxy Suboxone Percocite Vics Opana...Its all the same....You do to much to get high then you feel like **** for a week when you quit...

Good Luck...

He told me te coworker has an addiction the methadone...she was on it to get off the oxys. I'm just wondering if he's just saying oxycotin because its easier to accept??? I find it so hard still to think of him snorting something up his nose...that is not the person I fell in love with and certainly not the person I had a child with..

anything is possible. do you have any reason for thinking that?

[concernedfiance]

Is it possible that he is lying and is doing Methadone instead?

yeah you snort a line..oxycontin is a pill but people just crush it and snort it..like i said i have admitted to two of my friends what i had been doing but for some reason i lied about how much i was doing and i dont even know why..the most important thing is quitting if he can quit then who cares how much they were doing..for someone doing oxys for 9 months i doubt he went many days without it, especially if he was selling them..id be surprised if he went any days without it..i only did when i absolutely had to

Another question....the coworker told me they only do one line every few weeks...is that what snorting is?? a line or is she admintting they do something else?
