Boyfriend having a problem with Percocets?
by Sonia
(Connecticut)
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years now. He likes to smoke marijuana, and I will smoke every now and then.
I have never been a person to try anything more than marijuana. I just drink at a party or special occasion. We are in college and I get that these are supposed to be the best years of your like to party, but when it becomes a problem it becomes tough.
My boyfriend in the past would do a Percocet every now and then, telling me that he was “stressed”. It never really bothered me because he rarely ever did them. When he did however, I would notice almost instantly by the change in his voice and even in his face. He would also act a lot more affectionate then he did when he was sober.
This past summer, I worked two jobs. We hung out a lot but he had a lot of free time with his friends. His friends who were “not so good” friends. I started noticing he was doing Percocet’s a lot more, and brought it up to him. He assured me that he had it under control and that it was nothing to worry about.
After he had not stopped weeks later, I would bring it up again. He assured me that once school started back up in the fall he would not do them anymore. Now that we are almost a full month back into school, he has not stopped.
He admitted to me just yesterday that he has a problem, but he doesn’t want to go to a clinic or get help. He says that he only wants my help. I feel very overwhelmed that I absolutely need to help him, but I don’t know exactly what to do. I can’t tell anyone because I’m afraid of what might happen. I need help!?!
