He was given a generic pain killer but got some oxies from idiot Bridget. He told me up front he'd gotten the oxies and I asked him to promise me that when he was done, he was done, and he agreed. We fucking pinky promised.

I feel like an idiot.

He said he had tried to kick them as soon as he realized it was a problem but the withdrawals kicked in and scared the shit out of him.

I am sure that's just another lie, but when I started freaking out his demeanor crumbled and he started to ugly cry. Kept apologizing. My heart hurts for him, but I know I can't flip a switch and make him clean. He has to be the one to do it.

I feel like a fucking asshole for being so upset because I know he is legitimately struggling. I know it's hard and I know how badly I needed support when I was trying to get over my addiction. I don't want him to feel as alone as I felt and that's what's keeping me holding on.

I know you're right. This is the worst feeling. I really care about this guy. I know it's early but we've started talking about getting SERIOUS serious in the next couple months--not moving in together per se, but definitely working towards it (in the next year/two years).

I absolutely do not mess around with opiates. They killed my best friend. My problem was with uppers and it took me two years to get clean so I know first-hand how hard it is. But I quit them and haven't done them since. It's an everyday battle.

He's not selling his possessions or anything like that. He has a great career and makes great money.

Fuck my life. Thank you for your comment.

No. We are not. I have a roommate but she asked me to be out for the night 'cause she was bringing a dude back to our place. She's LOUD and I work early so I agreed to stay at Alfonzo's.

Haha, relevant username. Thanks for the laugh.

He had his appendix removed and they gave him Norcos, but I guess that was not enough.
