Hi everyone, thanks for having me. Ive been married to an addict for 26 years. He was an alcoholic when i met him. He also used cocaine and crystal meth. After the birth of our 2nd son 14 years ago he started abusing prescription pain meds, mostly Oxycontin. He was snorting it. He did stop when i found out but continued to use sporadically. Our son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 3. My husband allegedly stopped using all together at that time. He admitted to taking his friends percodan in the past year to get high. He has relapsed now and is using whatever he can find including Valium. He allegedly has agonizing back pain. His own doctor gave him a script for Valium and Oxycontin. Hes used them all and has started taking stuff that his friends sell him. He's used all the money in our childrens college fund and is now starting to miss alot of work. I am a stay at home mom so have no source of income of my own. I am looking for work and hope to find something soon so i can feel more confident about making decisions for my kids and I
Sounds like your addict is on a downward spiral. A lot of addicts are able to remain functional for a long time and then reach a point where they can no longer maintain. My husband also blew through everything we had. I ended up leaving with the girls. It was a hard decision and adjustment, but gave me some space and time to start working on myself. It also gave the girls some relief from the craziness of his using. I found this site to be incredibly healing, but it takes time and effort to see/feel the changes. I hope you keep coming back to the chat room for support and healing. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS! We are here for you whatever you decide.
Hope to see you in the chat room soon,
Nicole 🙂
