can someone help

okay so lack of no were else to turn. I have been with my boyfriend for 3yrs almost 4 and I know that he is the type of kid who is easily influenced and can easily addicted to things.. well the latest is percocet he swears up and down that he is not addicted to them that he doesnt sniff them how ever i kno that he is lieing cuz i have seen him and countless  other people have. im not sure what to do about this everyone tells me to talk to his mother but even if i went to her she would not hear me out and she would just say that i am causing problems.. im not even sure if he is completely addicted. he displays all the signs and symptoms but how do i tell someone that denies even doing them to me that i think he is in over his head .. help would be great thanks

you can't help someone until they want the help and are willing to admit that they have a problem.  i remember being at that point of denial....i thought everyone was picking on me and that they could never possibly understand how good the percocets were for me, etc., etc., etc.  i was a typical addict!  

i agree with the post's from the other members....you need to share your concerns with him and let him know how you feel!!  all you can do is be there for him in the time that he does realize that he has a problem and wants help!!  i think misspearl is right....maybe if he read the comments and posts on here it might help.  there are a lot of people on here who can relate to his problem and what he is going through, etc.   please keep updating, there can be a lot of support for you and what you are going through on this site also!!  :)

good luck and best wishes!!

If he is denying using it will be hard to tell him anything.  Until HE is ready to quit you will just be beating your head against the wall.  You are in a tough situation and will have to decide what is best for you.  I wish you the best.  Stay in touch.     sara

One of the signs of addiction is lying and denial. You just need to tell him what you see and what others see. It will be up to him to change. You can not change him.

Hi,

Well until he sees he has a problem there isn't a whole lot you can do. You can only be there for him when he finally does realize.

Good luck and keep posting and updating. Maybe see if he'll read this forum?
