My husband's pain pill addiction is costing us thousands please help me?
My husband's pain pill addiction is ruining our family. He sometimes spends his entire pay check on them. My heart is broken I love him and I know he is better that this. I can't seem to get him to understand that the whole family is suffering. We are soon to loose everything because he won't help me pay the bills. He has a herniated disk in his neck and gets 4 7.5 lorcets a day but, he has been selling them and buys10's off the street sometimes taking up to 17 10's a day. His surgery is scheduled for 4.13.2007. Should I tell his doctor of his addiction? He is not the person I married. We have 2 girls and this is not good for them. My nerves are always shot I can't sleep or eat. Is there anyone out there that can help me? Maybe someone that is or has been going through the same thing. I know he can overcome this and he has told me that he is only taking 4 a day now but, he lies to me so much I don't even know him anymore. Please help someoneHe has been taking them for about 4 or so years but, he didn't get bad until his injury work related about 2 years ago. He said he called his Dr. and he said " no" for the higher strenght because after the surgery is when he will need that. I think it started out as the fun thing to do and now he feels that to live he has to take them. He has admitted he has a problem but, he has to take the steps.

Help someone!! My husband is trying to stop his pain pill addiction that he has had for 3 or 4 years.?
Friday 4.9.2007 he started going through withdrawls. I can't stand to see him like that. He has to go through this to get off of the pills. It didn't take him long to break and get more. His addiction has gotten so bad that I have to go and get his check on Friday's. I don't mind and I do see this as a change for the better. How can't I cope with this without throwing up my hands. I know it is an addiction and he has to handle this himself but, please realise I didn't ask to be put in the middle of it all either. I do love him and I am trying to help but, I also have a family besides him to care for. 2 girls When I try my hardest seems that is when he is his worst. any tips? anyone?4.13.2007 he is to have surgery fusion in his neck He told me that he is goibg to cut back sloely because he is tired of depending on them and he hates that he let this happen. though it is alot of hot air because he has lied so much I never know what is truth and what is a lie. He gave me his pills so I could give him 4 a day as perscribed not 7 to 10 like he takes. Yesterday morning I gave him his 4 for the day because he asked and I said " don't ask for more tonight. Well he called me at work yesterday afternoon and told me to bring him 8 more and I told him no and he started yelling at me and said either bring me 8 or the whole bottle. After thinking I took the whole bottle and threw it at him and told him " I am through with this and am over the whole situation. I know he needs my help but truely what has he done for me? If his pay check hits his hands on Friday it is gone before he gets home.

Pain-pill Addiction to Lortab & Xanax?!?help!?
Someone dear to me has been " clean" for a few years now from a Cocaine addiction. Lately, this person has been hanging out with this friend who provides Lortab & Xanax to my friend to be sold & for personal use. My friend just recently popped Lortabs & snorted 5 Xanax & has recently came clean to me that they are in fact " addicted to pills" now. This person is COMPLETELY aware that they have an " addiction" and is trying to " stop" cold turkey because they have NEVER done pills before, & they don't want to go to Detox again. What can you do when you have friend s who provide you with pills & you are selling pills also. They also KNOW they need to quit hanging out with these certain individuals yet they can't seem to " get away" from them. I wish I knew what to do to help this person. My friend says all they think about is getting on their phone & calling up for pills & I can't just take their cell phone. I doubt that'd even help. What can my friend do? and What can I even do???

Pain pill addiction..serious answers only please?
I've been taking hydrocodone almost every day for 14 months now due to a shoulder surgey gone bad. I'm in pain management and they just keep prescribing me the pain pills. I think I've become physically addicted to them. When I don't take them I become physically ill. At first I thought I had the flu but I'm now seeing a pattern that I get 'flu like" when I don't take the meds. I'm afraid to tell the doctor because I am in pain the majority of the time. But I don't want to be addicted and I think I all ready am. Any suggestions? how can I get pain free AND stop taking this med without getting sick?
