Opiates and Legit Pain
My RA (addict/alcoholic) BF has a severe degenerative disc disease.
He was addicted to Vicodin for two years prior to having surgery to fix it. He has been off the Vikes for almost 9 months. Now he needs another surgery to fix it again.
And he has started taking Vikes again.
I am so upset.
I KNOW he is in a lot of pain. But I also know he takes them to check out of life, too.
So what is the solution? I thought he was taking them as prescribed, but yesterday he was super sleepy and kind of out of it, very forgetful.
I don't have proof, but his behavior was so strange. And TMI WARNING: When we have sex, he can't ever "finish" when he's on Vikes and he hasn't been able to finish for two days.
Is this my hill to die on? Do I wait until he has the surgery and see what happens?
This is so confusing.
