A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

im 16 and my boyfriend is 19. we've been together for a few months and everything is pretty good. theres an issue tho.. im afraid he has a very addictive personalitly and i worry for him. he enjoys smoking weed and other substances like that (no hard drugs) and will drink on occassion. he says that he does not have to smoke but he is doing it all the time. especially when he is with his friends. he will smoke in front of me even when i tell him i dont like it. then he will lie to me about what it was. "babe it wasnt weed..." and then later he tells me it was. less than a week ago he got a root canal at the dentist and they gave him percocets for pain. he claims to have taken only one a day until last night when he took 2. (he is only prescribed one a day). he says he feels very sick when he takes them and gets "weird feelings". he has made jokes about snorting them to get high but alsways dismisses it as a joke. the last 3 days he said he was not going to take them but then he does anyway. i asked him if his mouth hurt that bad that he had to take them and he said no.. it doesnt hurt at all. but he takes them to prevent it from hurting? im scared he is going to become dependant on them... he already has friends asking to buy them... i like him a lot a lot but this is worrying me. should i be worried? thank you for any advice or insight!

Get out of the relationship, and meet a nice guy who doesn't do drugs! It will mess your life up in the long run.

largentsgirl89 agony auntUm, get out of that relationship right now. And I mean now.

Most people who smoke weed build a tolerance for the drug and have to do harder drugs to experience a high, including pill popping. He does have an addictive personality and it sounds to me that he already needs help with it.

Weed, drinking and pillpopping is definetly not a good thing and the fact that he feels the need to lie and hide it from you is a sure sign that he is an addict. He needs help. You sticking around even though he knows you don't like it isn't a good thing either, I would leave him. Get out of the relationship and if he really wants to be with you, then he will realize that you are more important than his drugs and perhaps he will find help.

You can't however help someone who doesn't want help, so don't try to pressure him into quitting, that will probably make him angry as he is an adult and in his mind can do whatever he so pleases.

Good luck and keep me update okay?
