Hi NikkiC: NarAnon helped me SO much when my husband finally told me that he was using cocaine all those years ago. I don’t know how I could have gotten through the years after without this group. So scary to learn that someone you love so much is addicted. He quit pretty much all on his own, but he’s never really been the same. Recently he has been suffering from paranoia – panic attacks. He has begun seeing a therapist, which hasn’t happened since he quit using more than 3 decades ago. These last few years we started talking about this time of our lives and he shared many things that I didn’t know before. I think this stirred it all up in him and he seems to be traumatized by his behavior during those years. I’ll never know everything, but the look on his face when he talks and/or is thinking about this is a look of horror and deep sadness.
