So I have a friend (I swear to god, it's a real friend and not me!) that is a heroin addict. At the time I met him, he was on methadone. Over the year that I've known him, he cycled down from his methadone with the use of Meth. Basically until a week before he went into a rehab program.
When he got out of rehab, he wasn't sure that he was going to pursue general overall sobriety for the long term, but that's what was going to happen for a while.
I have to say that although we are not intimate, he moved in with me while we were waiting for my roommate to move out. I've kicked him out of bed several times for the fact that his legs are always restless and he tosses and turns keeping me awake.
But I'm starting to wonder if he never got completely clean or if he's maybe back into meth? He doesn't really sleep; when we're getting ready for bed he takes handfuls of melatonin gummies, benadryl, etc. After a night of doing shots. He downed an entire bottle of Robitussin in 48 hours. Went through a period where he was popping immodium like crazy too.
When it goes into the bathroom, there's always a minute or two where it sounds like he's sniffing and then he starts going to the bathroom. I mean, there are more details that I could share, but if anyone is willing to voice their thoughts or contact me privately, I'd appreciate it.
My concern is for both him and for me. I have a tendency to be codependent and I'm really trying to figure out if I'm just imagining shit because I know he's a recovering addict or if I have something to be concerned about.
