Hi and welcome, my husband is a cocaine addict and doesn’t really open up to how he feels and why he uses despite all the negative consequences. Thank you for saying it like it is, as sometimes I think my husband is taking the mick looking disgusted after he’s been on it all night the next day. I think “ is he trying to blag me that he feels bad” as if he did he wouldn’t keep doing it surely? My husband must get bad urges now to use as he can no longer hide it like he used to. For example he will be doing something normal like taking the recycling out then disappear and not come back til early hours of the morning, full of regret and Shame. Obviously I can’t cope with this extreme behaviour. So I’ve ended it after 5 years of him being addicted. His recklessness has got worse and worse. Is this normal as the addiction progresses?
