My husband had the same problem and unfortunately for him the only way to stop the headaches and runny nose is to stop doing coke, he went to rehab for a month and after a few days the headaches stopped and his nose/sinus pain get better, I know when he’s back on it because it comes back. He 100% needs to go to CA or narcotics anonymous and commit to the meetings, it will help you to set some boundaries for going forward. Happy to chat if you need any advice, I ive just finished a support course for families of addicts and it’s been really useful and empowering

Hi. Happy New Year!

My Husband spent a few weeks ‘clean’ then confessed on Christmas Eve that he had relapsed that day. Then again on New Year’s Eve. Then again today!

He never went to the meeting I mentioned in my original post, because we read the address wrong and we’re waiting outside of the church and not the hall alongside, (which actually had a pantomime being performed inside, so I am still not sure how a meeting was being held there too)! He has been speaking/contacting other people who informed him that the CA and NA meetings are very ‘religion-heavy’ and as an atheist, he is not keen on the idea and doesn’t feel that it will help him in the long run. However, between Christmas and New Year, he suggested going to the meeting this coming Friday. I just know that it won’t help him and he needs to explore other avenues, but I have absolutely no idea what else he can do. I am fast losing my patience with him, having never been addicted to anything, I don’t understand why he can’t just say “no” and walk away from the temptation to save our relationship. I can’t believe a single word he says anymore and spend my entire time wondering if he has used and not told me.

I hate not trusting him and just want this whole mess to go away……..
