My husband is an addict and its horrible. We have 3 kids and he goes of on a binge and we wont see or hear from him for days. But, on the positive side.
He had this problem about 8 years ago and we moved out of state as soon as he finished a court ordered rehab. He didnt want to be there but it helped him a lot. When we got here he was clean for 6 years by being away from it and with people who didnt use. Depending on how serious your husband has been using, moving away from it really may help. I dont have that option now as my kids are in school and I cant just uproot them cuz daddy is using again. Withdrawls, sleep, eat, sleep....and cranky for a while. By week 2 my husband is usually bearable but not normal. Thats as far as we have gotten lately.
If he will goto meetings or rehab it would be best...the people there undrestand, they know when a usuer in making excuses and justifying, as they have been there. If I knew yeras ago what i know now and knew the pain this addiction would casue me and my children...I'd have left then!
Good luck.
