hey everyone, i havent posted much for quite some time, so i guess ill spill the backstory. i came her in mid 2012 i had been addicted to opiates for 4 years and had a pretty substantial habbit of 250-320mg of oxy a day. i felt so much support (especially u herbavore) here and on july 29 i finaly did it. i was so happy i remember telling people that there was nothing they could do to make me mad or sad because i was just sooo happy to have my life back....and i did have my life back for almost exactly one year.

you see i quite not only for me but for my fiance, i wanted to give her a better life and make sure i held nothing above her like drugs. well in june of 2013 my fiance started being very cold to me, which caught me off guard because we had been together almost 6 years and we always had a great relationship some would call it perfect. this all started after her switching to the depo-provera birth control shot which i read after can turn women into raging bitches and has destroyed many marriages. i thought well she stuck with me for years of being an addict i can do 6 months of crazy hormones. but after the first few weeks of being treated like dirt it started to wear on me and the stress from that somehow convinced me that i could be successful at "chipping" or occasional opiate use. so through june as i was being berated and told by my fiance that she did not know if she loved me anymore i began taking opiates here and there on the bad days, which was once or twice a week throughout june and july. i had even made post about me chipping on here and was told i was on a downward spiral and i knew it to so i stopped two weeks into july without much discomfort i was only takin 60-90mg of oxy at night.

so two weeks into my new sobriety i wake up at 9am on august first to find my fiance gone, which alarmed me because <snip> august is the time people try <and fuck me> were going to sleep at 6am. so i got up and asked my parents (yes i still stay with my parents) if they had seen my fiance and my mom said she had been up since 730 and hadnt seen her. now im losing it cause she wont answer my calls and had not mentioned going anywhere. so we look at the phone records and it showed her phone got a call at 7am. so i call the number, it goes to the voicemail of some dude named patrick, when i say the name patrick my cousin chimes in and says " o she didnt tell u her ex bf patrick moved back to town" so there it was all the pieces fit together and my world came crashing down. i kicked her out (only to let her come back a week later) and for the week she was gone my addiction came back with a vengence. now here we are in january and i have been shoving up to 300mg of oxy ir down my throat every night ever since, and while there have been tries at getting sober the emotional pain i feel even now from being cheated on and now having trust issues is making sobriety seem out of grasp but i am still trying. when i got sober in 2012 i took methadone for 4-5 days then went cold turkey. i have no access to methadone right now i have searched hight and low but i was given two 8mg suboxone films by a friend. i took my last dose of oxy sunday night and half a sub 24 hours later on monday, another half yesterday, and i plan to take a half today and a quarter for the next two days befor i go cold turkey. i guess im just here to write this out and hope for a little support its hard to get any from others in my life because nobody knows....

Hi Fatjosh,

Sorry for the relationship troubles but sometimes we just have to accept that good things come to end. Yes, you have been together for 6 years but people change, it might have been the depo provera or it might have not been. It seems like you just have to let her go and move on and to be honest, she causes you more grief than happiness. It doesn't matter how long the person has been in the relationship but the love and happiness should be there and if it's not working out anymore it's not working out. I have learned from the toughest ways and I have learned to be tough. I have learned through the years that I have to love myself first before anyone else because at the end of the day, I matter than most anything. I hope everything goes well for you.
 
thank you maya, we are working on our relationship and i know that i may have to break things off, but i will fight till the end it isnt just that we have been dating 6 years but we have lived together for 5 so it feels more like we r already married. and i guess i should have made it more clear that when the pieces came together it made sense. it wasnt the depo, it was that she havin an affair. but really i just need to toughen up as far as the relationship goes it is just hard i am 23 and we have been together since i was 17 she is the only person i have ever loved. but fuck love i need sobriety....
 
You r so young hun if it doesn't work out there's lotsa fish in the sea :) that or just enjoy your life ♡
 
So you started back on the oxys in August when you kicked her out but you got back together? Your sobriety should come first and while you're on this emotional roller-coaster with her, you will keep being tempted to use. Even when things are going well, the addict in us finds reasons to use. You have to find strength within yourself to quit once and for all. Nobody is going to take care of you better than you.
 
Hey J=D.. sorry you are back in the thick of it.. it s rough cycle till we can stay out.. The hormonal changes of certain women on birth control can be severe. I remember A woman I was with for a long time telling me how her x though the birth control pill out the window of a moving car because she was acting so nuts.. of course this came up because she had jut gotten on birth control and I saw an amazing woman turn into something I didn't even recognize.. i was like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE did my girl go. So anyway condoms suck ass but they are the pearly gates of heaven compared to that and really i dont even have to say my opinion cause that is strait fact as you already know.

So on the relapse I would just realize its time to pull yourself back out of the flames.. you know the drill.. you can and will do it.. man with that habit you must be almost snippen and slaving over a hot stove all september just to feed it<3

Oh and there is no good reason to go back to any drug that makes us a slave.. so the my woman left me so im going to slam myself in the head with the hammer of oxycodone addiction is addict thinking<3

You got this J.. just have to pay the piper and wander back out of the flames. GO!
 
Hey Josh. I am really sorry to hear that things are falling apart with your fiancee. I know that she meant the world to you. Like Maya said though, people change and sometimes it's just that things change. Having someone else end a relationship when you are still in love is one of the most painful experiences but it can be a good time to work on your own inner strength. You are a good guy and you don't deserve to be mistreated so don't settle for it just because she came back. Like nsa said, concentrate on your sobriety right now. If someone is going to drag your emotions all over the place, that someone probably shouldn't be in your life right now. <3
 
Maya- thanks alot for the kind words i know there are plenty fish in the sea, i am a catch for sure and while i would be nervous to get back in the dating world, i am pretty fond of this fish so i am going to try everything i can.

t.calderone- i know that the emotional rollercoaster is not good for my sobriety, but i cant say that all of it was her fault. it is my fault for sure she was just a contributing factor i had been fucking up and was told on here that i was heading back into full blown addiction, it was the addict in me that put me here. you are 100% right this is on me and that is why i am the one choosing to get sober. i could keep doing this for a long time befor i hit rock bottom but i dont want to go there. thank you for taking time to support me.

neversick- the birthcontrol is like the x-factor in all of this, the logical side of me say "it wasnt the depo" but part of me really does believe it is part of it. it is exactly as you described one day she was the love of my life my world my everything and then she got the depo and was gone house sitting for 5 days and when she came back it was like who the fuck is this? i know i have to pay the piper and i am today is day 4 and the last day of my super short sub taper. even with the 4mg of sub i was sweating and feeling like shit the past few days last night being the worst, but when i woke up this morning i felt quite a bit better so i have high hopes. i had some roxies sitting around as i find just knowing they r there keeps me psycologicaly feeling better knowing if things get too bad i can stop it but yesterday i flushed them almost ceremonially. so yes i am payin the piper and im pretty sure in a few more days i will have payed off the interest on my outstanding balance lol.

herbavore- you are the person i hoped most to hear from, i have a special place in my heart for u. my girlfriend didnt end the relationship i caught her cheating and when i finaly talked to her a week or so later i told her she could come back if she wanted, but none the less u r right and i cant let her bring me down. i have thought alot on that subject lately and will continue to do so.

thank you all so much i cant say it enough
 
Your welcome love <3. Maybe it's just my experience but I have learned to love and put myself first before others. I value myself so much that if something is hurting my well being I would say bye bye. My happiness comes first before anything else and like what some people say go with the flow. I love myself too much that I try to eliminate any negativity in my life.
