From One drug to Another.

[Dawnster]

Hello,

 

I am the girlfriend of a substance abuser. He literally just got off of opiates(pain killers) right before he's supposed to start his new job, then, on a whim, thinking he'll make money out of it(which I don't see why he thought he could make anything out of meth heads in a town full of them) to basically go do meth, again. Since I've met him it's always started with the opiates, then meth, then weed, then opiates, and it looks like the cycle is continuing. He says he regrets it already but for all I know, "it's only just begunnnnnn". Once in a while I would use a bit of opiates with him, but rarely. I know that never helps...I feel a lot of it in ways is my fault. I've never been hooked though, I'd only use it when in pain, where as he would always use it for the 'high" which was never worth it to me. A high in that regard only makes me feel more miserable. I have ulcers, migrains, and work my ass off at a very physical manual labor hotel staff job. So yeah, if you don't think I need something for the pain now and again, I don't blame you, but that's why I did it.

 

 

The point is he always seems to go from one drug to another. I don't know what to do, I live with it, deal with it, and have been for a year now...I don't know what to do, any words of advice would be interesting, though whether or not it will change any decisions for me, who knows.
