[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 24761, member: 1991"] Amy, you did the right thing. It's not only the right thing for you, it's right for him. If you hadn't, you would have been enabling him, problems would have escalated and who knows what would have happened? He can still fix this. He can do something positive. If he's been taking your prescription medications and making YOU run out sooner (and have to go back for more) this could make YOU look like the drug abuser to your doctor and get YOU in trouble. His failure to consider this shows that he has gone so far down this road that he is no longer considering the damage he's doing to others. If he's rationalising to that extent you would have been in serious trouble if you had not taken action. I mentioned a few weeks ago how I found some empty pill packets (strong opiates) which had only been issued the day before, from a pharmacy right next to the bin where I found the packets. They had been dropped down the side of the bin and fallen through onto the ground - I picked them up to throw them in the rubbish when I recognised the drug, and the bad implications of such a recent script being already empty. From what I've been able to work out - the person the drugs were prescribed for gave/sold them to someone else, who probably ground them up, cooked them and injected them up their arm. The black market in strong drugs can also help fuel a bad drug habit or a gambling habit. And it happens. At least in our case I was able to pass the emptied packets back to the prescribing pharmacy, who then contacted the doctor. The pharmacy will probably also contact our government body who, if the doctor doesn't do things right, will investigate the doctor for possible overprescribing. If he knowingly prescribed such huge quantities of opiates to a drug user, he could lose his licence. I was shocked and horrified - but the cold reality is, we're surrounded by this sort of behaviour. And when it's in your own home, you MUST keep yourself and your children safe. He won't change until he's forced to. Marg [/QUOTE]
