r/Rehab

Hi,

(English is not my first language)

My partner is addicted to the benzo, she uses the xanny for 10 years. She tried to drop it and she did it but every “disaster” pulls her back.

The pills she takes doesn’t affect only her, I feel lonely. I often think that I have a child not the partner.

She is emotionally unstable — she screams, cries for hours while sitting in bed, and I sit next to her stroking her back. I’m starting to become cold and withdrawn myself. I’ve stopped leaving the house too; I don’t even have the energy to go to the gym anymore. I work remotely from home. She does too, but only for about four hours a week.

I don’t know what to do. I’m lonely. How do I look for support? Friends — because I don’t have any left anymore.

A woman I've been dating has recently gone to an inpatient rehab for alcohol abuse. I have a couple of questions, because this is all unfamiliar to me.

1. she cannot have ANY contact with people on the outside. This seems unusual to me that she can't even call anyone, since this was 100% voluntary; not court-mandated. Before she was admitted, she told me that she would be able to call me. Also, she said that she could have visitors. Neither is the case.

2. I just found out from her mother that she's staying an additional 28 days. Is this common? She had already been sober for about 6 weeks before she entered rehab.

Someone I know got put into rehab for drinking. They are an adult who got put into rehab by their family. I don’t know if they will allow me (their partner) to go visit them. I don’t know which rehab they were checked into.

I want to be able to just see them and let them know I am here for them.

Please help.

I’ve been with my boyfriend for 6 years , we have 2 babies together and he’s an addict and aggressive crack user . He’s been gone for 6 days on a binge spending over 2000$ . I gave him the ultimatum yesterday to get help or don’t come home , he didn’t go . He messaged me saying if I don’t let him come home now and he say he stop drugs on his own then he’s going to leave me and run away . I didn’t allow him unless he got help and now he’s blocked me . Why do I feel like this is my fault . He’s been actively using for 3 years saying he will stop and it’s always very short lived . Am I in the wrong ?

Today is my last day doing fentanyl. I've been using it since 2018. I won't be going cold turkey, I will be using my Xanax & my Paxil to help. It'll be hard because I recently have a toothache x I occasionally have pain in my pelvis specifically in my tubes that trickles down to my thighs. I'm scared but I'm super excited to get this chapter behind me. After 3 overdoses I know it's no or never.

My BF has been in rehab for 2 months for opioids. He’s been contacting me daily. His behavior has gotten worse, not better since he’s been in there. He’s acting extremely immature, impulsive, disrespectful and texting me all day with silly and gross topics and won’t stop. I have to ignore him some days. He’s not taking anything serious at all. I’ve been supportive while also setting boundaries. It’s pissing me off so much that I’ve wasted my time being there for him taking his recovery more serious than he is. He acts as if he doesn’t care about anything anymore…like everything is a joke. I’m at my wits end with his behavior and really thinking of ending things. Previous to his relapse he seemed to be striving hard to build a stable life, now he’s acting like he’s in a frat house. It’s like he reverted back to a childlike state of mind. Has anyone experienced this?

i’m so pissed. i just relapsed and feel gross and guilty.. are my withdrawals gonna be bad???
