stealing your prescriptions behind your back and lying to you about it?? You have given him many many chances to STOP and you find he's done it again. He claims he doesn't have a problem....what would you do?

I suffer from chronic pain and have already STOPPED getting new meds from my doc. These meds are old and i keep them for when i REALLY need them. Well EVERY time i have really needed them....i find he's gotten into them again!! I've had my pain meds hidden from him and he recently found them AGAIN and stole them. I confronted him and he FINALLY admitted to taking them. I called our bcbs ppo and they said they don't cover marriage counseling....any other suggestions/ideas?

Not necessarily a divorce, but drug addiction is hard to battle alone. Alot of people need professional help.
If you truly love him, then seek addiction help, not marriage counseling. Your problem is his addiction, not anything else.(i assume based on your question)
If you truly do not love him, then leave him and seek no counseling at all.
Good luck

Honey he's an addict and needs help! You didn't specify what kind of prescriptions he's taking from you. I'm assuming pain killers or sleeping pills?? Do you actually need these?? Why are they in your house?? Stop getting them and he won't be able to take them from you. Let him have to get his own prescriptions.
When he starts going to alot of doctor's and/or he starts filling prescriptions for the same meds at different pharmacy's with different insurances then you know the problem is severe!

Number one, he does have a problem, an addiction. Seriously talk to him and tell him that he needs to get help. Having an addiction does not mean they are bad people, it merely means they have poor impulse control and cannot overcome such a problem without help. Maybe it goes deeper than that. Trust issues? Counseling? Individual? Couples? A lot of addicitons can be filters for other, more sinister behavior.

I'd end that relationship right then and there. Either he can find a way to get pain meds legally or go steal from someone else. Those days from stealing from me would be over.

Put them in a lock box, with thumb print and number lock. Put 2 big guards in front of it and a Rottweiler on a leash trained to attack anyone but you at 2 feet away from the box.

you cant live under lock and key and you cant have a relationship with someone you can not trust.I know love is a hard thing to leave but if you are being abused you must!!!
You could try drug consoling as a last chance.
Just because someone is in trouble,you shouldn't desert them/but you can only try to help then be ready to walk away.

I just answered your second question first. This changes the dynamic of my previous answer. I suggest you contact a drug abuse organization and hope your "significant other" gets some help.
Sounds like you have a dope fiend on your hands.

Well I say empty the bottles and replace the pills with placebo's. If he starts acting like he is with drawing then he has a problem and take him to rehab.

Go with him to the doctor to get his own prescriptions. Make it as if it's no big deal. If he refuses to help himself the proper way, you have to take action.
