Hello,

My husband has an addiction to pain pills and pot. He mainly snorts the pain pills and then uses pot when he tries to come off the pills. He was freed from his addiction almost 4 years ago by Jesus Christ! He and I met in our small group at church and I fell in love with the Godly man that he was. I had never known him as an addict. Well, he had a back injury a year ago and thought he could "handle it". We all know that isn't hardly possible w/ an addict. Long story short, it has spiraled into a strong hold on his life that is affecting everything and everyone. He has taken money out of our account, i confronted him with that, then he started getting "cash back" from grocery shopping so it looked like the total amount was just the grocery bill, then he started selling his tools, then took out a cash advance loan, etc. It's getting more and more. During the past year, i have been pregnant and now have a 5 month old. Oh, and my mother died from a drug OD of meth/morphine while I was 7 months pregnant. During all of this, he still continued to use. He says it doesn't affect me, he doesn't do it because of me, etc, etc but it is effecting us. I have an 8 year old daughter as well from a previous marriage and she is suffering. Her dad isn't involved in her life and my husband took her in when we married like he had always been her dad…super involved, made her feel so loved and now he has become so distant from her and it hurts her heart. Of course, she doesn't know why, she just knows he isn't there for her like he used to be. It's driving a wedge in between our marriage, i can't trust him, he has lied so many times to be about what he is doing, where he's been, how he got money. I'm so tired of it all. He says he wants to get help but he isn't make a single move to do so. I finally convinced him to get counseling and his first appointment is next friday. I'm so tired. i'm disapointed and i feel so lonely.
