I did post more history to my question in the cocaine addicts support forum , as well as in the family and friends of addicts forum .
There I put more details of my ex's history of use .
I'll brief it . He since 9 has been abusing alchohol, then pot, then painkillers, then junior year in highschool began using coke, and smack . First snorting then shooting .
He is now 28 . The whole 4 yrs I've been with him he has always been abusing /using something .
He went to intreatment last fall . But was using coke after a month of getting out.
Finally I split up with him about 8 wks ago .
He wants to see our baby , I won't let him .
He says he is sober ( but I know he is keeping the same druggie friends around , and I know of relapses ( he admitted to , like percocets, coke etc. ) since our breakup .
Recently he has been saying he is going in for some dental surgery . He claims he will be using pain meds t hen . vicoden , or something ...
My question comes in here ...
If you are in recovery wouldn't this cause a relapse to be prescribed opiates ( pain meds ? )
As recovering addicts , those of you who really want to stay sober and are working the steps to stay sober. .. would you accept a prescription and feel it wouldn't lead to problems for you .
What do recoverd addicts do in a situation of needing dental work ? Do you have to refuse the meds ?
WHat should he be doing ideally, please take into acct his history , and stuff.
Insight and opinions needed . Is it just me , or should he stay the heck away from the pain meds ?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Love,

Just to clarify ... we are recently split up , he was drinking heavily , and then relapsed with cocaine and went out all night with heroin addict friends.
To me this is something I can't tolerate while having young influencial children in the house.
Didn't seem to me he was choosing recovery .
Not even working a program , or any of the steps .
ps you're a good mama
