My fiancée stole some of my pain meds from c-section...

Meleah
So upset don't know what to think - he just started drinking after a year being sober and now he says he "tried" some if my Percocet from my c-section I'm assuming with alcohol but I'm not sure as I found a half of one in his laptop bag he takes to work - I have a family of addicts and I have zero tolerance for this and he knows that I'm scared and want him to tell me he will go to classes etc or mtgs and I want to drug test him ... But then again I don't want to be his mother :/ our baby is only 3 weeks old and I am crushed he could do this to us and while he's been home taking care of a newborn with me !?!? Seriously !! We don't go out etc so I don't get it ?!? Help

He needs help. I he does not commit to getting professional help you need to leave. Addiction is serious and there is no such thing as "trying" drugs for an addict. Does not matter whether he took the pill with or without alcohol. He should not be drinking or taking your meds.

Ohh no have a talk right now and if he doesnt stop its going to go downhill fast. They are so addicting. I watched a friend lose his job, longtime gf, car and all of his friends(us included) because of his lies, stealing and being drugged out all the time.

If he cant stop doing it and is addicted he will need professional help .. The odds of him stopping on his own are very low

Yeah that's what I told him but k don't trust that he will just stop after he's been lying about doing it already :/ I want him to tell me he will commit to mtgs and tests etc - but I know he won't without me telling him he has to - I'm so upset and don't want this but I love him so much

You should hide them from him. I got a script for Percocet because of the migraines I'm getting. I don't take them nearly as often as my doc says I can but they are with me at all times, in my purse, on my person, so I know where they are and that nobody is sneaking/ stealing them. I count them every so often too. We have a friend frequently at the house I could see taking them to sell but I don't tell anyone where they are so it's not an issue.

Awe that's great though that he's willing to acknowledge how you feel about it. Thankfully it's not a real "problem" yet but it could be really quickly. ;) You guys will be good. Just a little speed bump in life.

Yes I agree I just got rid of all them as I don't need them anymore anyway - he has taken 2 and a half pills in a weekend that's it - we had a long talk and he has agreed to go to mtgs and get drug tested whatever - just sucks but guess that is the right track :/

But you're not hiding them from him as if you're keeping a secret from him. Technically him taking them without a prescription is illegal....you'd be saving him from himself and helping him not get addicted to them, which is super easy to do.

If he tried them what does he mean...he tried one? Tried half of one? Tried 5+?No matter what way he tried it was it because he was in physical pain or he tried it for a high?There have been times my husband has taken one of my Tylenol 3 to help with his headaches. I don't get upset because I know he must be in a pretty bad amount of pain for him to take one. He's an EMT so I trust his judgement. Now if he was taking 10 a week there would be some questioning as to why he needed that many. I

Ok I just confirmed he took 2 and a half in a weekend then stopped

Agreed and I think he took 3 or 4 of them over the last week or so - he says he tried it last weekend - he wasn't in pain just drinking beer on our couch while home with paternity leave with me and new baby last few weeks and took them prolly over the course of a few days with beer to get a buzz :/
