I wish there was a magic word that I had to help you. I feel so bad for you I could cry. You can talk to your husband and tell him you are there for him that you see what is going on that you see that he is not himself. You can tell him how much you love him and how devastated you would be to lose him. You can ask him to please try to get better and to try get off the drugs for you and your family. You can also try to ask someone else for help may a pastor of a church that you go to? Or some one your husband respects? You can not do anything other than that to make him quit. The addict has to want to quit by himself. It needs to come from inside of them it must be their decision. But people have been known to do a lot for their families. So try to talk to him tell him your fears and your worries about being left alone without him or having to leave him because he has changed so very much. Tell him how much he means to you. Tell him you want him to be healthy and happy and see you stay married for a very long time. Tell him that you don't want to find him dead one day of an overdose. You have to understand that it is incredibly hard to quit opiates once you are in their grip. Those pills change the actual physical makeup of the person. Your husband may not want to be an addict he can not quit or he does not know how. He needs to know that there are ways of doing it if he really wants to. He also has some actual pain issues to deal with. But as I said the decision must be his. If he wants to quit he can read some of my blogs by clicking on my name in blue or by going on my website www.mdsdrugdetox.com. Please know that I am here for you. Keep in touch.
