OXIES

[TheGF]

Hi i have a boyfriend who has been taking oxies for atleast 7months now and has admitted this addiction recently. How can I help him? . . .he never has money and I really don't want him to go down the wrong road. I had a friend who took them got on meth because of doctors and now is injecting oxies in his veins. My friends girl friend does them with him so i cant reach out to him anymore. . .i tried but it's like the surrondings wont let me... and i don't want that to happen to my boyfriend.

would cold turkey work ?? or will he still want them later on in the future?

I know your question wasn't directed to me, but I thought I could give you some insight. My boyfriend too has been addicted to oxy for about 8 years now off and on. he was shooting it up, but recently just snorting it. he admitted this to me, and says he has to change and will change. i told him this better be true, or else i was going to have to leave. yes, personality does change while on oxy. if your boyfriend hasnt already, he will more than likely lie, steal, do whatever is necessary to get his fix, even if it involves hurting the persons that he loves. nothing else matters, besides what they need to do to get high. if he has admitted he has a problem already, then he needs to get help, but he has got to want to get help. my boyfriend has been to rehab a few times, and now this time is doing it cold turkey. its hells, but its not nearly as close to the hell him and you will be living if he continues down this path. if you need any support, help, or just wanna talk... im here. im obviously in the same boat you are, the girlfriend of an addict who you want to help.

Thank you for the post. Im just not sure if i can take the lies anymore he says he will get off them but its always a new type thing hes taking. Does personality change while on oxies?

Until he is ready, there is not much you can do to stop him. As far as what method is best, is depends on the person. Just know that opiate addiction is pure hell!
