Hey everyone

Hey I have a question. What do you do when you see someone that you love so much killing himself over lortabs. Maybe I dont understand how hard it is to quit but to see this person in pain and so moody. I dont understand how you can go through not taking them and through the withdrawels but then go right back and start taking the pills again. Has anyone else been throught this or know someone that is going through this? what do I do?
how can I help him?

It is difficult, if not impossible, to understand an opiate addiction.  I never imagined that I would become dependant on something as I enjoyed recreational drug use sporatically over many years without developing an addiction.  
Opiates are debilitating, the withdrawals are far more painful than any broken bone, pnuemonia, flu, childbirth, etc.  The best way to understand is to read many posts, journals, etc.  
Is this person ready to quit?  Have they admitted a problem?
Best of luck yo you.  I realize it must be hard to see someone you love go down this path, but it is also hard to be the one on that path.  Offer your love and support.  
We will keep you in our prayers.
