I started a new thread to update you all on my situation.
Last night bro-in-law who swiped the meds came over, reason being he left for Vegas this morning for 5 days for a trip with his buddies and came over to ask my husband to hold his guns cause he didn't want to leave them home with wife & kids and to ask for a ride to the airport, we live 1 block from it.
Anyway, when I heard this I kinda blew up, I stayed calm but was very firm. I asked him why he did this (swiping my meds) and he denied it. I continued on reminding him of what I have and am going through and if he wanted something he should have asked me but that he should have called his doctor to get some meds. Then I started crying when he still denied this, I said Well who else took them? I know I did not swallow #120 in one day, I'd be dead or in the ER.
My husband did not take them and my b-inlaw knows my husband hates to take an aspirin.
Well he FINALLY admitted to taking them!!! My husband was not pleased but said to him that he should not have taken them yadda yadda yadda. The b-inlaw said he will reimburse me for the meds when he gets back from Vegas. I said, you can afford to go to Vegas for 5 days!! Get your own meds, I will NEVER trust you again. He apologized for 1 hour over and over and we have the same PCP and he kept saying how he is being undertreated etc etc. I did not tell him about DB or buying from an OP. He doesn't need to know especially after what he did.
But, I am still out of meds until almost Christmas and going thru minor W/D's but got some Ultram to tide me over even though it's not really helping at least I have something. I just with this psychological thing would stop, it's driving me crazy ! I was online all day yesterday looking for a place to get more meds to hold me over till my refill, I mean ALL DAY and of course I was here too. Thanks to all for your kinds words and for the one's who PM'd me offering support. You guys/girls ROCK and so does DB, I'd be in a padded room right now if it was not for this board

You are defintely in my thoughts. An admission to theft, although still stinks, must make it a little better. I am glad you got real with him and he got real with you right back. I am so sorry about what happened and can only imagine how you must feel. Being in pain is bad enough, but to have a family member steal must really hurt. Take care.

Purple-
This happened a week ago or so--HAD HE ALREADY TAKEN ALL THE HYDRO??? If he took 120 of them in one week, he must have one heck of an addiction going on.
I hope he really does reimburse you.
In the meantime, I hope you hang in there until your refill comes in.
It's this type of situation (the ones beyond our control) that breeds fear in the heart of ANYONE dependent on medications. I send all my best!

I don't know how many were left in the bottle when he took them but I didn't ask for the remainder of them back. I was stressing about the talk with him and didn't even ask! Now, he's gone till next week so I am still out of luck.
Thanks for your kind words.

Purple, Although it did nothing for your situation. I am glad you confronted him and he admitted it in front of your husband. The stupid jerk! We will see if he reimburses you or not, although that is not the main problem right now. I am thinking about you, hope something works out for you. Yes please don't tell him your sources keep something for yourself and not some thief like him.

I thinks it's great that you were able to get him to admit that he took your meds. I have known people like him before. I doubt that he will pay you back. Even if he gave you a few bucks, what good would that do when it is soooo hard to get hydro? They just have excuses for everything they do (or don't do). Being in LE, he doesn't want a paper trail for opiates. Wonder how he passes his random drug sceens....
Anyway, hang in there kiddo. You had a small victory.

Purple,
I am sorry to hear about your situation and I feel your pain. If I were you, I would play this one smart. Go to radio shack, get you a simple phone tap for your phone, and talk with him on the phone about the details in a calm manner as not to get him stirred up... Let him give an admittance to this on the phone (on the tape). As soon as you have it on tape, you got him by the balls, stealing narcotics is a big crime; at that point it would be a rather fun game of "Lets make a deal" and you would be calling all of the shots, if you know what I mean.
Take care,
If you need any help, pm me,

The shame this idiot will live with for the rest of his life is punishment enough. The old Raskolnikov syndrome. You don't need to take any more action, and if I were you, I'd refuse any payment he offers. He's suffering, believe me. He'll go into fits any time he ever has to face you or your husband again.
You can find help--pm me if you want.

Purple, before you follow Cadman's advice of taping a conversation, please check your state law, as it is a felony in 36 states to record a phone conversation without the other persons knowledge and consent. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE... I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE. I hope everything turns out OK, besides, to go after him will only create problems for you and your family, just let it go and hopefully he will reimburse you for your meds. I'm guessing he will just to avoid you telling his supervisors at the PD.

The good news is, at least in some states, incl. KY, only one party needs to know about the conversation being taped, this is for both phone and face to face. I have learned this through issues at work and consultations with a lawyer.
