help me please. my b/f is snorting roxy pills

My b/f is crushing and snorting roxy's. he will spend up to $20.00 a pill. i cant get him to quit. he says he isnt addicted but when i asked him not to do it for only 3 days he didnt last. He gets terrible mood swings. can get very angry over the smallest thing. one day he says he takes them for pain the next its just because he wants to. every morning he wakes up after snorting he is in alot of pain. his legs knees, he just hurts everywhere. i believe its because of the pills he says its not. He will also get very horny and demand sex but he is unable to stay errect and that makes him mad. i know its the pills causing these problems but he wont admitt it. can someone please help me. i dont know what to do..

My 28 year old Brother just committed suicide and was an addict,I myself am a recovered crack addict,therefore we related to eachother very well,the only thing I can tell you is you have to get tired of living the horrible lifestyle that goes with the use of any drug,and decide that your life is worth much more than throwing it away on pills,because basically,that is exactly what youu're doing,it is not easy to give it up,trust me, I know,I am 48 years old and I gave it up 2 years ago,and believe me,when you make up your mind to quit,you will start to enjoy life and realize that no high is worth controlling or taking a life.I moved 1200 miles away,and it was worth it,do whatever you have to do to quit,you will Love yourself and so will your Family for making the Best decision in your Life.Good Luck on your journey.

my boyfriend of 2 yrs started doin them a couple mo b4 we got together hes been to rehab but he sells them and makes good money so if he has them he does them! if your and addict like him and i both are its not good for him to have access to them, but i know thats hard to say bc there either a phone call away..or just cuz hes prescribed to them they make me sick if i dont have them well they did but im clean off them and he still does and sells them thats why currently were not together! he needs rehab or you need to leave him bc it just turns in to pure hell! just trying to help ive delt with addiction with myself and him & the boyfriend before that!

Hi Jenn,

This post is over two years old and most of the members you are talking to are no longer here. You will need to start your own post if you have questions about addiction. I wish you the best.

I myself have dealt with someones addiction. Someone in my family was addicted to Crack Cocaine. From my personal experience anyone struggling with an addiction needs to be in detox. This person in my family was so addicted and out of it they stole my credit card and went and bought hundreds of dollars of things. I had them arrested. They got out of jail and was clean about a week then went out and got high on crack again I had them baker acted for 2 days they ended up getting out and going back to jail and spent I believe 2 to 3 months in there and Have been clean for 3 years now. It takes alot of strength for someone to quit a drug of any kind. I have friends that shoot up roxy's everyday You cant stop it the withdrawls are too painful for your body you get so sick from not taking them that you have to take them so you dont feel that way. My soultion to the roxy addiction Is Its gona take someone getting into a rehab where you cannot access the drug or jail. If you dont stop now your gona end up in jail where your gona have to stop. Dont let A drug ruin your life. Ive seen it happen and it ***** you will never have anything or be able to get anything with a record like that!
