I was in a relationship with a user of OC and I had to end it. This is the worst drug and his body is deteriorating everyday. If he doesn't care enough about himself to stop then he can't very well care enough about you. Sorry, I know that is harsh but it is the truth. He is basically floating through life, void of emotion or reality. Eventually he will choose the drug over everything- you, friends, family and work. What kind of future does that give you?

Please tell him to get treatment now. My ex-boyfriend is still using and has hit rock bottom. I am glad I got out when I did.

It would be one thing if your partner was honest, but he wasn't. That means to me that he is not taking it under doctor's orders, which in turn means this is substance abuse.

Stay away from substance abusers. They will drag you down. Run, don't walk away. Even if they say they love you. They love the drug more. Don't mess around with this. I grew up in a family where my father was an alcholic and my mother didn't leave till her life was ruined because she clung, like many women, to the notion that he really loved her and couldn't help himself. The first was true, the second wasn't. If people really want, there is help to stop the abuse. And in a sense I think that staying with an adicted partner is some for of self abuse around either a destroyed sense of worth or self confidence, or one that wasn't there to begin with. Staying just makes this worse till you become completely damaged goods. Don't do this to yourself.

I know for a fact a person can get off of oxycontin if they want. I was on a high dosage of it for eight months for pinched nerves in my back. I have had an operation to help this and have weened myself off them. I am the one who went to the doctor and asked for lower and lower dosages till it was possible to quit. I was taking 80mg twice a day. Plus four or five percs for break through pain each day. I know that if a person wants to, they can get themselves off of it.

If the person is afraid of the withdrawl symptoms, if you have the money, or are insured for it, there are rapid detox methods that work, that avoid the withdrawl symptoms. Threre is a catch however. Your brain no longer will be affected by opiats. That means if he were to take them again for recreation, he wouldn't get high on them. And he could, like some people, take more thinking that will help catch the dragon. But it won't. And this can lead to overdose and death. Your brain doesn't get 'high', but your body is still sucseptable to overdose.

Bottom line, any substance abuser will take their partner down with them. Get away while you still can. When the person lies about the adiction to others, you know it is bad and they won't stop until they want to stop. You asking won't help. So don't let yourself be destroyed by a junky. Because that is what he is in the end. Save yourself.
