monkey on my back

ok so i recently moved in with my girlfriend and she had posted an add on craigslist looking for a roommate and she found some girl. the girl took the room and has been here 1 month. she did not pay us rent for the month, said she was fired from her job. wasn't that big of a deal but a couple of days ago i came home from work early and she was passed out on MY couch with MY food all around her and 3 syringes on the table. so she is a heroin addict and thats the real reason we didn't get our rent money. i told her she had to leave by march 1st. something has happened and her dealer won't call her back so she has gone about with out for a while and has been making fucking weird ass noises and running back and forth. what are some typical withdraw symptoms? and could it get worst? i don't want a dead heroin addict in my apt. that would be a mess to explain to the cops. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
and she is the monkey eating my food and using my shit its really pissing me off i'm thinking about kicking her ass out tonight. i don't like enabling someone's self destructive behavior

You can always nicely offer her a glass of water poisoned with anthrax.

Yeah it sucks that you would have to resort to kicking her out of the house on the street but you are being used and you will not get any rent, trust me on this one. Just force her out, maybe send her in the right direction. Its hard to put somebody on the street but its hard to have somebody use you too.

i would have dragged her fuckin ass outta there as soon as i seen her passed out with the needles.
kick her out dude, she obviously doesn't give a fuck about you, so why should you give a fuck about her.
tell her to fuck off.

as much of a selfish slob she may be, she actually could be in need of some serious medical attention soon. heroin withdrawals are no joking matter. best thing to do is get her some help.
i have no idea how methadone clinics operate, but if one is able to take her in then I reccomend you go that route.
you don't want to keep her hanging about your house jones'n though, she may end up doing something shitty.

ask her to come with you to the grocery store, then drive straight to a clinic or homeless shelter or some shit and kick her out of your car.

hate to say this, but i have no sympathy for addicts. i have never been addicted to anything and have no plans. how do withdrawls sound like fun?? maybe she should have done some research before she chose heroin as her drug of choice. kick her out man, tell her its not working out, she is not holding up her end of the deal, and thats that. if she needs a ride somewhere, take her to a clinic or rehab, sounds awful shitty but sometimes people need that reality slap to get their shit straight.

if i had a car i would but living in nyc i'm sure there is a clinic in walking distance. i called a locksmith to come rekey the door tomorrow morning. i looked in to some methadone clinics i'll give her a list but i honestly don't think she'll go to them. well i'm gonna go talk to her about it. my worst fear is i take out the trash and one of her fucking needles stabs me. i'm also afraid of what i'll do if that happens. thanks for the advice

Okay, first of all putting a heroin addict on methadone isn't an effective treatment. It just changes the addiction from heroin to methadone, and as soon as they're off of it, they go back to heroin. She needs to go to a center where she can get treated, preferably somewhere she can stay for a couple months, as that's an effective way of treatment. Heroin withdrawals are dangerous, make sure she gets medical attention if you notice anything extreme.

Its a shitty situation. It's good that you're getting your lock changed. Just find a way to get her outside and be done with it. You're taking it real easy on her as it is, but you cant let this go on.

yeah i just told her about the methadone clinics and she walked out of the room. she makes wierd ass noises and twitches. its really pretty sad she is only like 20 and she is fucking her life up big time if she doesn't do something about it. but i offered my help and she walked off so right now i just want her out of my fucking apt. well i need to make this fun cause its stressing me out so....tomorrow when she goes out looking for some jump i'm going to bag her shit and put it at the front of the building after i change the locks. and as a heads up to people don't look for roommates on craigslist. this was the least sketchy person that replied and it is a mess

None of that is his responsibility dude.

Neat Money Saving Tip:
You don't have to pay a locksmith to intall new locks. You can get a new lock whether it be a deadbolt or door knob at the hardware store for 20 bucks and install it yourself in 10 minutes with a screw driver.
