Im dating a heroin addict

[AdiktEd]

Good Morning all...
Im so glad I found this site. little back ground, I myself was in recovery for 10yrs , I fell off that wagon and I am in the process of pulling my self back up. My drug of choice was and is meth so I really had never been around a lot of heroin. My boyfriend is a heroin addict or was using heroin he joined a methadone treatment program and he was on it for over a year. Well he wanted to just quit just kick and be done. I have never been threw any of this so I wasn't aware of what I was in for...nor did I think there would be a difference in kicking heroin and methadone because at the clinic they tell you that methadone isn't addicting. I say bull crap..My boyfriend didn't get diarrhea, he never got the cold chills, it was all the opposite he ate like a horse, he was burning up so we had the AC on and fans and he was wearing wet shirts. The muscle spasm however were out of control , violent and never ending it seemed. And I don't know if this is normal but sex, he wanted to have sex all the time. well this is day 5 and last night spasms weren't to bad, but he id up and he went to work this morning. Im afraid he will relapse, like I need to be with him every second and I know this isn't healthy.. I need so help with this

Yeah its normal more or less, probably was not on a very high dose also. But in my opinion methadone is a lot worse drug than heroin and the w/d are horrible and long. And it would be wise to be around all the time for the first two weeks. Though such relationships are very difficult. Pick him up at work and drive him there, go everywhere together. But not like shadow him and spy on him but tell him straight into his face that you want that because you know how easy it is to relapse. If he is serious he will agree to it.
