What is it about drugs..
What is it about drugs that make people become something other than they normally would be? Why do they make you lie,cheat and steal.(I guess I'm just talking out loud) I have been struggling with severe lower back/hip pain for 3 weeks now..in that time I have had to go to the E.R. just to get relief to be able to walk..The Dr. sent me home with a rx for 10 lousy vicodin..and the weakest strength of them..I had refrained from getting them filled because A.) I am an addcit and don't want to get hooked back on them and B).I knew I would have to take all 10 in a day just to get relief..if any(.since my tolerance is quite high).well, I got them filled yesterday because since I have been sick with food poisoning ,my back is hurting all the more from the less than pleasant things that happen when you have food poisoning..This morning I woke up to "someone" searching in my purse that was inside my nightstand. I had a whopping 6 left and he took 2..but when confronted about what it was he was doing he said "looking for a lighter"..WHATEVER...I didn't even bother looking until I woke up because I am so mad..no actually I am more than mad...Why do drugs make people do this....I have done my fair share of obtaining rx's under false pretenses..never have I stole them from others..I guess because the situation to do so has never been presented and I never needed to..I am really pi$$ed !! Just needing to vent..Oh wait!!! this is rich...now he's calling to apologize for waking me up..said he bumped the table..excuse me while I go PUKE!!
oh yeah...and thats AFTER GOING THROUGH HIS OWN RX'S OF 80 PERCOCET AND 180 NORCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND CAN'T GET THEM REFILLED UNTIL THE 7TH..
Hope you get to feeling better soon. Take care of your back, I know that is a PAIN but I'm thinking of you.
I hear what you are saying and I often wonder the same thing. They just take control of us. I was never "that person" that I was on the pills and I don't get how I got there. I didn't steal them from people....but the lying to family members etc... My bff's husband is the worst when I was using just for fun years ago I would come over and give him a generous handful and go to the bathroom and then come to find out he took half of what was left in my purse. All he had to do was ask for me.... I was just taking them for fun at the time! It's crazy...I am talking out loud with ya girl!!!
Have you thought of Ball Bat ? No wouldn't work you would just feel worse and probably locked up to boot. Girl I wish I had an answer for your pain both the physical and the mental. All I can really offer is prayer. Good Luck and God bless.
P.S. They put my wife on a tens unit for her severe hip pain and it really helps. Kust a thought. God Bless

you know..he forgets that he's talking to a frickin' drug addict who has by now..heard 100's of stories on med-help from other addicts..and is quite familiar with the nature of the beast...what i can't deal with is the constant lying and deception..I have tried my hardest to keep it together with all the $hit I have already had to deal with, but I just can't do it any more..
Im so sorry... I wish I had a real answer to why people change.. I come from a family history of drugs, so thats the environment I grew up in. I know all too much about the lies and bull****.. Don't let him get away with it.. Call him on it... Tell this person you need to trust him and right now you dont.. If this person loves and respects you he will fess up and should give you a "heartfelt" apology. Your already going through so much anyway.. Being around people that are not supporting you and stealing from you are just negative influences in your life you dont need.. Good luck to you.. :)
If I had a dollar for all the times I have confronted him,begged him,pleaded with him!!! OMG..I would be rich..The 100's of I'm sorries..The fact is besides being an lying addict..He is just a LIAR anyway..I have already put up with enough...I really just want to punch something! It sucks to have a 13 yr marraige go down the drain..but it just isn't my fault!!!!!! Not my ******* FAULT!!!!!!!!!! AND YES I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!!! thanks for listening..I'm sure the whole country can..
You can vent on us anytime. Just yell till your little hearts content. God Bless
Yeah we all do but get it out of your system before it spills over in other areas. Go for it Girl. But be careful what you kick you are in enough pain as it is.
you know this is just one reason why I quit taking the damn pills!! The weight that was lifted for me personally was great..but not having to worry about hiding them and counting them and trying to figure out who is stealing them was like a huge mountain off my mind..
lisa did you find out the results of your mri do you know if you are going to need surgery
have you ever told him if he would just be honest that he wants your pills b/c he is an addict you could deal w/it better (if that's true) or would he still continue to lie?

It really bites that he would do this to you. 13 yrs is a long time in todays world But you have to put you and your kids first. I am sure things will work out and I pray for the best for you.

I did have the mri and all my dang dr did was leave me a message that I needed to go to see a spine dr..I am waiting to hear back from him with some more dang details! UGGHHHHHH..oh yeah..and I have had all those conversations with him and more..he admits he's an addict..but he is still a liar...
Ok, I kinda figured he would still be a liar but thought ... hey why not try. You know you can go to the MRI place and get a copy of your report. They are going to send you to a spine dr even if it's minor or major. It would put your mind at rest...when do you see the spine dr?
Just talking out loud...but when my bff left her addicted husband (after she got clean) we were all getting her moved into her new place and stuff and we were doing something and it was like....honey you can put your purse down now. She had to keep everything in it..her daughters ADD meds, her $$, her meds etc... it was sad and funny at the same time...she was like your right... and threw it up on the kitchen table!

I have even had to hide the one frickin' rx I did get and that was soma!! He even stole them..and i finally just threw the whole damn bottle at him and said HERE...
as for the spine guy..I have to wait for a different name..because the one my dr. gave me doesn't participate in my insurance..I am going to get the report but the office is 45 minutes away..I just wanted to know what ..if any difference there is since the last MRI..He's supposed to call me back today..and then i'll just make him read it..lol when the nurse called she said the same thing that i already knew..L-4,5 and S1..but didn't elaborate..I just need to take a deeeeeep breath before i talk to anyone..lol
yelling on the computer is somehow helping!!

Maybe verbally admits it but what about mentaly to himself ? Girl drive him nuts just find something to laugh about and let people wonder if you are really nuts, it does wonders for you.
he takes your pills and you need them. see how selfish addiction can be. i admire your determination. it actually amazes me you can live with someone that has pills and stay strong.
it amazes me too..but..they are all around me..and at some point you just have to be stubborn..(which I am very much so)lol I also knew at anytime I could just go get my own..but I tell ya..this **** just makes me hate them all the more...I am still just seriously ticked...all that for 2 lousy 500..vicodin..and thinking I won't notice 2 missing when I had only 6...ARGHHHHHHHHHHH
apparently there isn't a housecleaning pill..... can you believe it? the nerve of the drug companies!!!
it does help to babble or yell on the computer.... i talk myself through cravings on here alot! (so that's where my babbling posts come from alot) :)

Girl I'm sorry you are going through this but don't be mad just do something about it leave him or tell him to leave you, it seems to me like you want to change your life but he dosen't he still using and that is not fair for you and your kids.
Sorry for my two cents but I have seeing your posts and he dosen't deserve you or your kids.
Anyways I shouldn't say that but you really deserve to change your life around you derserve it.
TOMORROW WILL BE MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
