my bf used to be a heroin junkie,he has been clean for 2 years,but says he is having alot of cravings? advice?

Addiction of any kind is chronic, irreversible and incurable. An addict which has been “clean” for an extended, uninterrumped period, and still craves the drug, may again relapse into his/her habit if he/she doesn’t get IMMEDIATE help and support. Your bf should seek help RIGHT NOW, or he is in great danger of going back to his old ways. Your support is of extreme importance, as you are the person closest to him right now. There are medications which can help diminish the cravings (e.g. Suboxone, ReVia), but these are only available through some state and private programs, since only a few MD’s with special training and licensing can prescribe them. While the patient is on these medications, if he uses even an insignificant amount of heroin, the body goes into an instantaneous and full-fledged “Abstinence Syndrome”. A friend of mine had this extremely unpleasant experience; he lost control of his bowels and bladder, had excruciating bone and joint pain, uncontrollable vomiting, and became so weak that he couldn’t get out of bed for almost a week. This is a powerful detterent to drug use, but phsychological support is imperative, as well as support by friends and family. But, if your BF refuses to seek help, my best advice is that you should pack your things and RUN, if you don’t want to end up squeezed out of your last penny, or selling your body to support his habit (which he may force you to do when desperate for a “fix”).
