my wife is smoking pain pills. help

[txm85]

my wife has been smoking pain pills for about a month.  she says it was not everyday.  she says she will stop right away but i don't know how i can trust her anymore.  lost of lieing, sneeking around, and did not even admit it when i confronted her with the tin foil she used to smoke them in the trash.  a day later she admitted to me what she was doing.  she does everything she can to blam me for anything to direct the attention off of her.  i want to help her get clean and stay clean but i don't even know were to start.  can anyone give me some good advice?  what to look for?  how to really help her get better?

"way up the ladder"? the internet seriously disturbs me. firstly, SMOKING pills is the most ineffective way anyone could hope to waste a pharmaceutical. different drugs have different administration routes for a reason. the strongest ROA for a prescription opiate would be to shoot it up intravenously (if the pill was pure enough to do so - see: free of binders, etc) and next would be to insufflate it (pills that can be shot can be snorted) and then we have the old up the *** routine. rectal lining is a faster and stronger ROA than sublingual (see: held under tongue) which generally stronger than parachuting (crushed up pill wrapped in tissue, swallowed), however parachuting is a good alternative to sublingual ROA when the pill is not made to be taken any other way but swallowed. which brings me to my point. swallowing. simply swallowing a pill is a more effective route of administration than 'smoking' it.  

my guess is the people who smoke their pills want to graduate to more powerful or dirty drugs and are therefore playing with ROA like a toddler plays with their food. which is embarrassing and stupid, and gives all us self-respecting drug users who knew how to use google even when they first starting experimenting, a bad name.

You should be more concerned about how dumb one has to be to smoke pills than the actual act itself.

Jesus Christ.

I went from taking them 10s Watson 510's to 15's to 30s then smoked them 2 times didn't like it that much but tried it again with a whole one and I was ****** let me reword that hooked. I'm now off them again and just snort half a subutex  In the morning and a 1/4 later in the day I do that for 4 days then step down to half a day then 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 later afternoon. And then just a 1/4 around lunch then stop all together def *****

I am not a addict nor have i ever been around or done drugs, unfortunately my boyfriend is an addict and his choice of drug is smoking pills and cocaine. more so smoking pills. He has been into smoking pills ill give a random estimate maybe since 2009? He will be turning 24 this coming december. When it comes to drugs, I have never experimented i always was satisfied with just smoking weed but i wouldnt do it to often. I have never been around someone who is an addict nor know at all what necessarily what they do to get that high off of smoking pills. I honestly didnt know smoking pills was an option out there cause who in the world would think of it usually youd just take them by mouth originally right? lol but anyway id just like to know how can you tell or determine when they are using? or any way they act that you can tell? i just need a little more understanding to what it is being an addict of smoking pills? so i either know to stay and help or to just not waste my time and leave.

from what I have learned over the past few years those who smoke pain pills do it for a buzz.  Oxycodone, vicadon (hydrocodone) peracet, the pills are so much more expensive then they resort to herion.  Much, much cheaper.  The symptons mostly are weight loss (from observing a person I know) unlike meth.  I have yet to see the acne type sores on their face.  contact her physician's dentist etc and tell them what is going on.  that would be the begining.  take her name off all your financial accounts so you can't be drain dry. Hide lock up all valuables.  Yes even your laptop, I pad, Camera.  They will lie, gamble and even when desperate enough trade sexual favors to get a fix.  Don't assume anything.  IN fact here locally approxmately 12 years a local tanning salon owner was trading her daughter for drugs.  Not trying to scare you but you said to be honest.

I have ann issue I've been dealing with for close to a year, we had her ups and downs before that as well. I'm Married i'm in love with my wife we have a 3 year old daughter together we live in different homes. Drugs ruin marriages she hid shooting dope from me for a year when she shoots her mood an attiude change immediatly, an drastically. I am not perfect either i've done my share of drugs, but if don't have any i dont go nuts lik mt wife. i wasnt the best provider but a great stay at home dad. Out of no where she wanted to get back with me, i havent seen my daughter in 6months before that because of her, she had a little fling with her mechanic thats because she couldnt pay, for her stuff. i had temporary restraining order against me due to texting she says i stalked her and wanted to smash her windows, i could of said that but never stalking, i dont have a car we go to the same spots. i stayed away from her she came to the place where i was said she wanted to work thigs out. i was in shock because i have emails where she hates me. so we hung out all week hustling and i was making money for her. shes in the car all day with my daughter and she smokes crack, when i was with her it's no better but i at least took her out of the car and she wasnt alone. she told me she's into black men where she knows that bothers me. and im saying all her boyfriends were white. that was when we were in a texting war. everytime i questioned her loving me she would actually sqaush my nose and yell at me. i still love her she set me up and i cant get over it. she put me through alot when she was in love with me, she use to accuse me of evrything. now that im sweating her im pathetic. Just drugs ruin everything theres so much more. from one week telling me she wants it to work to hitting with a car

Do you know why she is smoking the pills? Did something happen to her emotionally to make her start this? She stressed out maybe? You won't be able to push her into getting clean, it's a decision we addicts make on own our in our own time.

My partner used to get extremely mad at me but it just caused me to take more pills to not feel the guilt and sadness I was experiencing and he soon learned this and extended his hand in the "I will always be here for you, let me help you" form
