His lying about it to you is terrible, but shame is a very real thing we alcoholics and addicts struggle with every day.
I think the major caveat here is the OP's point that it would be easier for him to get heroin than soboxone, and he's opting for the latter.
And I have read a lot about how doctors specializing in soboxone treatment can run some pretty suspect practices.
To the OP, is your boyfrien steeped in a program of recovery like NA?
He is not currently enrolled in any sort of program, after the holidays we are going to look into some type of meetings for both him and myself, and possibly one we could attend together. I love him dearly and all I want is for him to get help. He wants to badly to be drug free, it's truly a disease that has taken over his life. My fear is that this will NEVER go away and I'll always have to suspect he's up to something. He's a very good liar, so good that I think he believes himself.
