Confused about Drug Tests
After reading "Some Heroin User Insight for all the Mom's who don't know" on the DHAM site: http://daughterheroinaddictsmoms.blogspot.com/ I don't know what to think about the drug tests I gave my daughter and her boyfriend recently. The drug test listed opiates, marijuana and several other drugs... it was negative for opiates, positive for marijuana-nothing else. Confused.

The Moment of Truth
I just walked into the room and said, "Both of you look like you're messed up...you've been acting stange and you both need to take a drug test." Immediately her boyfriend said, okay. I walked back into the room with the tests and said well okay let's do it...They looked at me really surprised. My daughter said, "Mom, you've lost it...for real". To my surprise they were both clean except for marijuana.
My daughter told her boyfriend that she would definitely leave him if he continued to take pills because it was unfair to her. It was unfair and selfish for him to take those pills because she wasn't doing heroin.
I guess he was truly sick...and thin looking and acting strangely because he was dope sick...but they were acting so strange I just thought they were both doing opiods or heroin. I guess I'm just paranoid...but the behavior they were exhibiting just led me to believe they were messed up on something. Overreacting...oh well I don't care if I was...they just kinda laughed about it...which made me suspicious all over again. I guess I'm losing it....again.
From what I've experienced, if someone is using heroin or opiods...there are times [very few times] but there are times when they really want someone to help them. If you can catch them in that exact moment of time you can help them turn around...I honestly don't think my daughter would be where she is today if it hadn't been for her still-using friends calling me and telling me that she was addicted to heroin and that I needed to help her. For that I am truly greatful. I wish I could help them too...I just don't have the strength...
I'm going to take a deep breath...and hope for the best.

Using Heroin or Not? I Don't Know
I don't really know what's going on. I know that her boyfriend is addicted to pain killers [opiods]. How do I know this...? Because he told me. WTF? The one person I thought was straight...now she's trying to help him. OMG! I must be an idiot. Why didn't I pick up on this? Now, I'm worried that they both might be using. Maybe I'm overreacting...he told me because he wanted to come clean...My daughter was really mad at him saying things like "I can't be around someone who is addicted to opiods...if you don't stop I'll break up with you." etc. etc. etc...He's been pretty sick...looks very sick to me...very thin...she says he's not eating pills...I'm confused. I think I'll have them both take a drug test...if they fight me on this I'll have my answer.
