Hi em2143, how have things been since you wrote this? I also just found out this year that my husband had a secret cocaine/alcohol addiction using during work hours. The feeling of betrayal is overwhelming. Since telling me he relapsed back into it all again only I found it and then he admitted everything saying he didn’t feel ready first time etc. It had been 7 weeks this week where he was doing better, doing things for me etc and then Tuesday night I questioned him when he came in and after having to push him to the limit he said he drank alcopops on the way home because he was so stressed. I felt so betrayed and let down that he just couldn’t help himself. I told him to leave and he has been at his parents house since but I just don’t know where to go from here. It has only been 4 months from I found out but my mental health has spiralled out of control since trying to work out my emotions on this betrayal and constant lies.
