Today, after spending over a year getting clean and sober, I started feeling horrible withdrawal symptoms and couldn't understand why. It turns out my wife had been dosing my food with Adderall "to keep me on track" and just stopped. So much for my anniversary chip. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend told me she was over her addiction and wished to quit cold turkey. I cancelled all my plans to stay home and support her. She didn't mean her tobacco addiction, no no. Her corn chip addiction. FML
Today, my parents took my to hospital with headache, cramps, sweats and tremors. The doctor thought I was an drug addict in withdrawal, which, after some questions, turns out I am. I gave up fizzy soda last week and am in total withdrawal from caffeine and all the other addictive chemicals in soda. FML
Today, I found out why I can't sleep at night. My wife switched my sleep aid pills with energy pills. FML
Today, I figured out why I have been feeling so drowsy and lethargic for the past week. My daughter had been slipping sleeping pills into my coffee as payback for taking her phone away. FML
Today, it's been two weeks since my wife started her new job. She got overwhelmed and fell off the wagon on Monday. Instead of going to work, she spent the last week passed out drunk, and she'll probably get fired. We really needed that 100k a year she was going to make. FML
Today, after I was surprised by my husband announcing he was coming off the drink and going to the gym to get in shape, I found out that I've been such a fool, as it turns out the pre-workout shakes he kept making contained about 5 shots of vodka, so he could drink at home without me moaning. FML
Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML
Today, I got my annual blood test. The nurse was inexperienced and it took her several tries to insert the needle properly. When I get back home, my fiancé starts yelling at me and storms out. The reason? I am a recovering drug addict and my arm appeared as if I had been shooting up. FML
Today, like every day since my wife was prescribed antibiotics for an infection, I had to hide one of the pills inside her food, because she'd apparently rather fall seriously ill than swallow them like an adult. FML
Today, it's my one-year anniversary of being sober. For the occasion, my father decided to spice-up my non-alcoholic cocktail with booze. I didn't realize, and drank it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

One, she's basically been drugging you which is huge breach of trust. Two, she did it to "keep [you] on track," meaning that she didn't have any faith in your ability to get sober. Three, she actively undermined your efforts to get clean and doesn't seem remorseful about it. Four, if you work and they did a random drug screen, you would have gotten fired even though you were being dosed against your will. Five, I really suggest sitting her down and finding out what the ever loving hell she was thinking, if she was even thinking at all and not using her skull as a compact hot air balloon.

It's time for her to get dosed with divorce papers.

Some places don't/aren't allowed to do random drug screening. So if he lived in one of those states that has that type of law or worked where they don't give a shit, he'd be alright anyways. Shitty of her to do that though

"Huge breach of trust"?How about committing a federal crime?!?
GhostFox 34
Kind of figured the crime part was obvious, but people are weird in that they will turn over their partner for committing a crime against them, but don't realize that they need to actually do something about said crime on a personal level.

It's not your fault I'm sure you can still have the chip because you didn't know about it, if you were completely strong and you stayed away from the alcohol even if you were tempted then I think you're strong

Not only does this call for divorce papers, this also warrants a report to the police. This definitely isn't something you should take lightly and shrug off, she needs to be reported ASAP.

Go to the hospital first. You don't actually know the dose or if the Adderall was FDA-grade--you need medical attention, THEN file police charges and divorce paperwork. I don't think AA is going to get on you for this, though. You were drugged against your will. Tell them honestly what happened and they'll probably figure out something for you.

Call your sponsor, then the police. Do you have family or friends who are for you being sober? Good luck you didn't know you were being drugged

BTW on mom the tv show they ate pot edibles not knowing what was in them it's the same thing

It's at this point you probably file for divorce.

almost_there44 26
I call BS on whatever kind of education you may have received because you still don't know the difference between you're and your. Hint, it's not your. Maybe you're the one on drugs.

Haha. Yeah. Plus he finished it with: "....end of." End of what?

I call BS on you. You are just a slimy little troll who probably has accomplished nothing worthwhile in its life!

I'm no expert, but don't you need prescription for those kind of drugs? How did she get it without you knowing?

She could easily be taking them herself for ADD/ADHD, or a dealer
