Hi Gale,

Welcome to the Forum, it’s a great place to share your story and get other people’s opinion that are going through similar situations.

I would run like the wind, it might sound harsh, but being the Mum of an addict, I would not wish this life on anyone.

Hi lovely. Thank you for your reply. I had run and we’ve been apart for 6 months. After reading all the comments it made me realise that all his behaviour is part and parcel of his addiction nit that he’s a horrible person. If he turns it around maybe just maybe I’ll get the man back that I married. He has lost everything and is at rock bottom so hopefully the only way is up. Maybe I’m being nieve but I have to try…. at least then in my own mind I can move on knowing I dud all that I can.

Hi Gale,

I’m sorry you are having such a hard time because of your husband’s addiction. If you feel that you could do with some help please get in touch.

I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust and we offer help to people dealing with addiction in their family. We have trained people called Family Friends who are experienced in listening and supporting people like yourself to find a way through this. If you contact the Trust you would be assigned a Family Friend who you could talk to in complete confidence.

You can contact Icarus Trust on help@icarustrust.org or visit our website http://www.icarustrust.org

Good luck.
