Fersure it sounds like your b.f. is on drugs...the reason he asked you for your pills was most likely because he was out of whatever he takes and couldn't get ahold of either his connect or his doctor...sorry to tell you but if your not emotionally into this guy then get out of this before you too find your money going to him. But if your heart is in it then confront him and tell him that you will stand by him if he gets help. But don't let anyone take advantage of you or lie to you about something like this especially since you said that you have 3 kids yourself.
Hi.....well your hunch sound right....pills are expensive on the street and it would explain why he is broke all the time......as the disease progresses you get sick if you dont have them....asking about your prescriptions is a tell tale sigh also time to have a heart to heart with him about this.....just let him know it is possible to get off them it would be good if he could come on here we do home detoxes every day it only takes about 4 days to get past the phyical withdrawal then a progam like N/A to stay clean.....if he is not willing your going to need to cut your tyes with him living with a addict is no way to live

Hi welcome. Yup, that's classic addict behavior. And no, asking for someone unused opiates is not "normal." It's what we addicts do (I did that all the time w/ some silly lie as a reason why I "needed" them.) Usually when someone suspects this, they are right. Trust your instincts. Being broke is a huge symptom too.
What I suggest to you is to let him know, calmly what you suspect. And yes, he will deny it. But, you only have one responsibility and that's to yourself so go to alanon, which is for the loved ones of addicts/alcoholics and start talking to others. You will get amazing support and understand this disease, too. People always think they need to make a decision NOW. You don't. Just get to a meeting. And the answers will start to become clearer for you:)
