Im not very knowledgeable about sruga and their severity,but the ones he does are Opanas and they cost $100 a piece...and he does not get prescribed These, he buys them on the streets. From what i understand OPANA is extremely addictive and dangerous.

Thanks everyone for the advice. As soon as we pay the landlord what we owe and are behind on, we will be moving 2 hours away. Hopefully the move ,and getting away from the people he buys from or does them with will help.

He wants to quit but he doesn't believe the programs available to him will help. He will go to rehab and finish the detox period and then check out. He refuses to stay and go through the whole program. He says that therapists are overrated and they cant help. He needs to learn new ways to cope...

My husband was shot in Afghanistan and has become addicted to narcotics.He will do them for a couple weeks and then stop for a couple weeks. He has never overdosed or even nodded out that i have seen but he has gotten to the point where he constantly spends our bill money on pills. He gets paid...

I've had dreams like that and they can seem so real . I think they are a way the mind copes with things that deeply hurt us.

Wow I apologize for all my grammatical errors I'm quite shaken by all this

Well it seems it wasn't the push he needed to go get treatment instead it pushed him to ended ourvrelationship . The worst part is he ended it on thanksgiving over TEXT message ..,, he may just be feeling expectially down over the holiday . I'm in hopes that this will pass and we will be OK :(...

I'm in a similar situation ..my bf has not verbally declined my invitation YET but I'm fully prepared for the last minute no I will get tomorrow probably 20 minutes before time to be there. I have already made plan B arrangements to offer to spend time with him after seeing my family. He also...

@Seagreen I actually read your thread and the replies you received. Hopefully he will go to treatment and ask them about the medication for night terrors. Best of wishes to you :)

Thanks @sweetpea ..I REally appreciate your reply :)

@Sighs I hope that this will motivate him to not cancel his next appointment !!! @Sweetpea76 he has had nightmares since he quit smoking ...he doesn't have them very often and he doesn't generally wake up particularly startled

I offered to take him to the 2nd one (in case he hated driving there or being alone) but he didn't want me to ...when I got off work I asked him how it went and he told me he didn't go :(

No @Justmehere he hasn't been to treatment in a year and a half. I convinced him to make an appointment 2 months ago and he has had 2 appointments since and has cancelled them each time :(

Thanks @bell for your reply. I'm in hopes that this will not become a reoccurring thing since this has never happened before.

I hae read several threads about night terrors and ways to help minimize them ,but not how to provide support.

Congratulations!!!!! What a wonderful accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your success with us :)

I would like to start off saying that my boyfriend (who has Combat PTSD) has never been violent or even angry. We have been together On and off for about 2 years and I have never been "scared" of him. He doesn't have outburst or triggers that make him angry. His triggers cause him to go deep...

Hello @patiomermaid. My boyfriend is a army veteran who also has PTSD. The same thing you are describing is something I have experienced dozens of times. At first I would get sooo hurt when he would cancel plans with me. I often thought He found something better to do or he didn't want to...

@TreeHugger I agree that several people offered support and several people expressed how insulted they felt in a way that was helpful to her ,however several others did not. I realize that this is a sensitive subject and every word I type is potentially offensive but my intentions are not to...

Hi @windswept ...I am so sorry people are jumping at you like they are. I thought this was suppose to be like a support group. Allthough I realize what @windswept said came off very bad and insulting to people who suffer with PTSD I think you all should not be so judgmental of her..I'm sure the...

Welcome to the forum :) I am new here myself and I have found a lot of comfort here I hope the same for you :)

I have had similar reactions to things like that . Something as small as a familiar smell can send me back to that moment almost like I'm experiencing it all over again , I try to use that experience to remind myself that I'm a survivor and I got through it ...so in some ways it strengthens my...

. I agree with @darrenS that txts are very easily misinterpreted ..with texting you lack several components to communication such as eye contact, body language, tone etc. without those things a harmless statement can come off as an insult ..or in your case the short replies you were...

From the looks of the replies you have received it looks like you are getting replies mostly from sufferers. As a supporter I have found it very helpful to hear from sufferers because it gives us opinions from "the other perspective "... In all honestly I have sometimes felt attacked by the...

I have never read that before but I will check it out . I would think that maybe he just isn't affectionate but he was very affectionate before we became committed ...we had been seeing each other for about a year before we became committed and he would always put his arm around me lay his hand...
