Drug Addiction What Should I Do to Help My Husband?

Question by Sweet: Drug Addiction what should I do to help my husband?
My husband I have been married for eleven years, we have two beautifull girls but after so many problems and discussions about his addiction; he does not want to admit he has a problem. He occasionally uses speed, he has never admitted any drug use, but I know when hi’s high. It’s frustrating to see someone you love lie in your face and hurt me the way he does when hi’s high. I still care for him but after so many years I don’t even know if I’m still with him because I feel that I have to help him. What should I do?

He really needs to admit that he has a problem. That has to be the first step. If he can’t admit it then he will never agree to get help. He’ll say “help for what? I don’t have a problem”. If you can’t convince him that he should admit that he has a problem, I think you should call an addiction counselor to talk to, and maybe try to get him on the phone with them. That’s what we did with my mother. Once she got on the phone with them she was finally able to hear some one else’s opinion other than ours she conceded that she did in fact have a problem. Maybe they can help you and your husband too. The rehab she went to was called C.A.R.E. Florida here is South Florida. You can read more about them at http://www.careflorida.com And from there you can call the number they have on the site.

I hope this was of help, and I wish you and your family the best.
