i am so sorry that you as a mother have to go trough this. I am a recovering addict with two kids, about 2 months ago my mother found out about mine and my husbands habit. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, have left him and am now on my own with my kids! i am on week 7 of being clean. PLEASE be there for him learn what you can about this drug so that when you talk with him you can understand (or try to understand) what it is like for him cause it's HARD don't play like your a doctor or psycologist he won't need that he needs for you to LISTEN to him when he talks, he doesn't need to hear "you need to do this and that" he knows what he needs to do. yes you need to read and learn about it but don't always say "well i read this and heard this about the drug" you know what you have read and thats it HE is living it he knows everything about it! HE HAS TO eliminate anything and anyone out of his life that has anything to do with this drug. of course he's denying it he is an addict he has to want to help himself first you can't make that happen. Let him know how it is affecting you and his loved ones, tell him you and his kids don't want to have to bury him, keep letting him know that you are there for him, keep expressing your love as a mom, keep reminding him about his own kids (you don't however want him around them right now) unless maybe if your with them too! you need to find someone you really trust to talk to (I'm glad my mom does) just remember that if he is lying to you about it he is ashamed himself and he probably wounldn't like the fact that you are telling people (trust)
my mom went to her doctor as well. my parents even started going to church. A MOTER"S LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL! Don't let anyone tell that there is no hope there is! I was using cocaine and meth for 7 years today i feel the best that i have in years but tomrrow is still another day i still have a long way to go one day at a time!

THE GREATEST GLORY IN LIVING, LIES NOT IN NEVER FALLING....BUT RISING EVERY TIME YOU FALL!!!

My thoughts are with you good luck!!
