Are my friends heroin addicts? (I'm serious)?
So my night started out with two friends that I see a lot. We then had some people over that we hadn't seen in a year. Once we invited them over one of them asked to use the bathroom. Her boy friend then said he needed to use it after. So both of them went down stairs and used the bathroom. Then the last one went down stairs to use the bathroom too. They stayed for a bit, smoked a bowl, and then one of them went down to use the bathroom again. The three of them left and we thought they had to be doing heroin and not cocaine because they would be sniffing a lot. If they are heroin addicts do they usually have herpes because we are now in fear that when we smoked with them we may have contracted the herps.

Heroin Addict in the Family, no one believes us!?
My fiance and I just bought a house. Here family lives right downt the street. Anyways, my fiances brother and I always used to get along pretty well. In fact, I would have considerd us good friends. I lent him thousands of dollars that he has " been unable to payback" , I never minded. It was more of an inconvinience for me than somthing that made me mad. Aside from that, when he visited us, he would always offer me pills for the pain in my hands, I already had medication of my own though. Needless to say, everytime he would come over he would talk about heroin being the same thing as pain killers, and so on. One night I caught him sniffing what appeared to be cocaine, he lied to me at first and told me he sniffed his pain pill, then later he admitted to actually snorting heroin.Since then, things have been up and down. He has no sense of reality, and lives in a fantasy land. He has no respect, he tells lies, half truths, and constantly exaggerates. Things have gone missing, things have gotten stolen, and its getting bad. My fiances parents dont believe her or me when we tell them that this guy has a serious problem. He sells it and uses it. He is what I call a " functional addict" . He claims he works, claims he goes places and dose things, but really he is using and selling heroin. He is a GOOD liar, and I believe that he has turned my fiances parents on us already implying that " we might try and say hes an addict" putting us in a position that when we finally did disclose the truth, we were lying about it. Anyways, I need help, we need help. We dont know what to do, what to say, because we cant prove anything. Its just what we have seen with our own eyes and know to be factual, against people who refuse the truth unless there is SOLID, HARD, proof. What to do?Thank you

Can a heroin addict be a good parent?
My daughter found out 2 things about the man she was dating, that he was a heroin addict and after breaking up with him that her birth control had failed and that she was 16 months pregnant by him she had no symptoms and she has always had very irregular periods . Because of the advanced pregnancy and personal beliefs she has decided to keep the baby, however, she is now considering allowing this man to be involved in the baby's life... I am very concerned because I do not believe it is a good choice in an already difficult situation. He recently relapsed and began shooting again. He also abuses prescription drugs and alcohol. Ironically, his mother is a substance abuse doctor and his dad is a preacher. Both of his parents insist that their son is a " good" man, and that he should be given the opportunity to redeem himself although according to my daughter his parents are unaware that he has relapsed... she also believes that he only relapsed " once" and that he learned from that mistake and that he is once again clean. I am not inclined to believe that a person with his character is able to change. My daughter is only 19 years old, she believes that people change, she also believes that hard drugs speak more of childhood trauma than of character, I think that unfortunately and ultimately it becomes one and the same...Would you agree that such persons that abuse hard drugs can still be a good influence in a child's life?I meant to say 16 week pregnant... not months Sorry.

What's rehab like for a heroin addict?
I was reading The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and I just got curious.

How do i help my heroin addicted best friend?
My friend is 14 years old and she's been using heroin and other drugs for over two years.I know I can't help her get better if she doesn't want to get better, but I can't sit around and watch her kill herself. She's been in and out of rehab many times, along with psych wards and places of the sort... and she tells me she wants to get better each time she comes back. But it never lasts.She'll wind up using again or just fucking up in general. I want to help, but this is really having a huge impact on me, too. She's lied to me and manipulated me so many times, once when she ran away I called the girl she was with hysterical and sobbing asking if she had any idea where my friend was... and she listened to me cry while her friend lied to me, saying that she hadn't seen her at all that day. She waits until I fall asleep to use my computer and phone to get into contact with her dealers. When I see her, I have to leave my laptop home and take the battery out of my phone and hide it before I fall asleep. She's caused so many tears and sleepless nights, so much pain and sadness.I wish she would just be honest with me. I resent how she constantly hurts me.But I don't love her any less, and I get the feeling that she thinks she can keep doing fucked up shit to me and I'll never stop being her friend.Which scares me, because I don't think I ever could.She's back in rehab now, and I want to know everything I can do before she comes back home, even though I know there's not much.If anyone has had this problem, or if you yourself are an addict, is there anything i can do for her? Or at least to stop her from turning into this person I don't know?No matter how small and insignificant, anything i can do that may help is useful.Her mother is very much a part of the situation, but she's really just given up on my friend and wants to sign her over to the state. Which has just made everything worse because it's made her feel like more a of failure then she did in the first place, which is making her want to use more. It's a vicious cycle that spinning out of control and I'm afraid it's not going to end well for my friend. She needs to go to rehab and STAY there for a very long time... but it's so expensive, and insurance only covers so many months...And I talk to my friends about it, but I don't want to show them how destroyed I am. I don't want to be pitied or seen as weak. But everyone needs to vent a little. And please don't think I'm feeling sorry for myself. I'm not. I know I'm not the only one suffering in this...

I need help, I just found out my boyfriend is a heroin addict. What do I do?
Well, I've fallen in love with this guy who's amazing and perfect in all ways that meets the eyes. He makes me feel amazing and I've never loved anyone the way I love him. I knew he had a past, I knew he'd done drugs in the past. I thought that he was over that. Well, last Wednesday I got a call from his mom telling me he had been picked up. A parole violation. He was put on parole after released from prison. Okay, the things I've said so far are bad, but he is a good person. I believe underneath everything. I didn't know he wasn't allowed to be in Ohio, the whole time he was supposed to be in Michigan. Also, his mom had found heroin in his coat pocket after the police took him. He'd started using again for the past couple of weeks before he got picked up. So many things he'd been lying about. He was stealing from his family, and he may have even stole from me. He lied to me about a lot of things that I just can't believe. I don't know what to do, right now I feel so alone because I made plans with him. I feel so alone because there is absolutely no one I can go to that will understand this. I can't tell my mom, she only knows half of the story. I have been thinking about going to church or something, I'm so desperate to feel some sort of 'okay.' I don't want to leave him because I feel like his problem will only get worse, but people have told me that once a heroin addict always a heroin addict. I just don't want to believe that's true. I need hope. And fyi, I am nineteen and he is twenty two.

Anyway i went round to check in her room and i found foil that was burnt and there was wraps of clingfilm on the floor. i even found a wrap with heroin still in that she had left. I know before she moved into her dads her uncle lived there he was also on heroin so she is telling me its what he had left and it is not hers.But her apperance is awful she is full of spots and rashes kind of thing on her face. she seems to be abit " dozy" and her eyes are very glazed and her pupils are either really large or really small, never normal.Don't know where to turn anymore, i love her to bits, she is attending a programme to get clean but her appointment is not untill next wednesday so in the mean time she will obviously be doing drugs as they havent given her a methadone script yet.She is doing nothing but lie but is denying being an addict. whats your advice?
