Question by 12/10 ♥ JUST MARRIED! ♥: my husband is starting his withdrawl from his vicodin/percocet addiction.. he was taking on average about?
15 every 2-3 days…
we have cut his bank card were closing his bank account we took away his car from him im in control of all finances now, and we took his cell phone away from him, and im going to give random drug testing..
is there anything else you would reccomend? i guess i’m wondering about no alcohol.. etc..
im also wondering about possible withdrawl symptoms.. and just general advise
its hard since this is the start of the long road and we wont be able to see a psychologist for a few weeks.
thanks for all your advice
he decided it was time to tell me.. he said he needed money to borrow and i didnt understand and i asked to see his onlne account.. which i never have looked at… at first he said he didnt know his passwords and i said bs everyone knows their passwords… so he then said… i have a pill addiction.. and i was like what??? and then he said i need help and i want to find a rehab or detox place that will accept me.. and as much as ive seen on all the intervention shows when they admit they have a problem and say they want help its time to step in and do what is in their best interest.. he told me last night that he just wants me to watch him and make sure hes around people at all times.. i know he needs help.. i just am tryin to research whats in store for me and what i can expect from him with withdrawls.. i have noticed him being very irritable already and its only been one day.. any comments welcome
he was spending 500-800 a month on them .. i dont even know how many that is
physically should he stop working out? he would work out at the gym 5 days a week.. i dont know how he didnt have a heart attack.. sigh.. but should he physically stop doing everything like working out or stay busy with things like working out… everything im finding is contradicting

well goodness, hope you are prepared to do this for the rest of your life. You have taken on the responsibility for his addiction, and he will not learn any discipline or internal fortitude as a result, you will be taking care of him for the rest of your life. Have you consulted a doctor? They can often help with this sort of withdrawal.
