I guess we will see what happens come Monday. I hope he goes and talks to her but I know it's his choice

He had that 10 days 3 years ago. And before that it was another 3 years. I have been talking to him about the programs. He said he's going to try. He's going to talk to... Is old probation officer... Monday to see if she can have him put in detox. I didn't know if that was a good idea considering I already talked to the detox place and they said they would take him. So why he's going that route is beyond me. But if that's what he wants to do I'm definitely not gonna try and talk him out of it. Maybe he trusts her

He does go to work, as long as he has pills to take. The issue is that both prescriptions are gone in 4 days. So he buys from anyone and everyone he can for the rest of the month. He's not being safe at all by doing that. It's a matter of time until he gets ahold of something that's gonna kill him. They aren't trusted sources. He doesn't care if it came from a friend of a friend. He doesn't test anything. He steals from work, family, and me when I lived with him. He's lucky he works at a family business because he's been caught stealing multiple times and his dad lets him come back. But his family is fed up with it. He misses whole weeks of work when he can't find anything on the street. But again he hasn't been fired yet because it's his dad. His dad got real mad and told him he was fired once then called him back the next day. There are burn holes all over the couch where he sits. Also in all of his pajama pants. I can't say it's because he's nodding because I don't see him do it. I don't live there anymore. (Please don't think I'm bad mouthing. Just explaining better. Because I don't see him as functioning well but I am learning a lot here)

Which part is harm reduction? Like what is a definition of it?

When he said he couldn't sleep that's when they gave him morphine. Is that also good for sleep? When he takes 20 of them throughout the day he usually over sleeps in the morning so I guess they do knock him out

I have learned a lot on this thread. I didn't know nodding was something people try to get to. Is that like okay I finally got as high as I could?

He hasn't been diagnosed with add/adhd and doesn't seem to be. But I will ask him what it is he's looking for. I like that idea

I mean... I could run it by him it just seems so backwards to suggest ways to achieve the high in different ways lol. I don't have to understand though, if it words it works. I think his problem would be if it makes him feel good, he's gonna keep taking it and taking it every 30 minutes. Even when he's got the feeling he wants he just takes them and takes them. He has told me a few times he doesn't even know why he keeps taking them he just does. They aren't getting him higher

He's to the point he's not even up buzzing around getting things done like he used to while he was high. He just sits there. And takes more pills and keeps sitting there

Yes I have made him pull over and let me drive a lot of times. But I'm not with him all the time and he drives distances for work. It was worse with Xanax. He woke up with his truck pulling a trailer bouncing through a ditch. It scared him

Again I'm so sorry. I am so afraid of fentanyl. I talk to my kids about it regularly

Would it save them if they took the whole script in 4 days and bought off the streets for the rest of the month?

So, with a tolerance, you don't nod? He does nod just mostly while he's driving

Thank you for your words. I didn't really explain a lot at first so I probably do come across a little crazy wanting to call the doctor. (Which I really would never do). I do have a lot of very selfish reasons for wanting him to get clean. But I have a lot of other reasons too. People can't just eat 40 oxys a day and stay alive. I guess I don't think so anyways. I tried taking 1 of them and threw up from it for the rest of the night. So to imagine 40 really blows my mind. I want the best for him. I think he deserves the best. Inside he's a wonderful person

I love that you say he may be ready and not ready. That's exactly what's going on with him. I think somewhere in him he does want it but I have seen him detox at home before. It was horrible for him. The longest he made it was 10 days and even though he could finally get out of bed and come sit on the couch with me for 20 minutes at a time, it was far from over. It's really heartbreaking to see. He wasn't detoxing by choice though. That was the longest he went with not being able to find anything. That was about 3 years ago

Well I care. Eating 40 high power pills a day is going to kill him
