I dont have a ton of advise as I just found this page tonight as a cry for help as well. I get what you are going through, my husband has issues with opioid addiction – you are welcome to read my post regarding that. At least your spouse is able to admit when asked as mine will not until I actually find physical proof. I just try to always always remind him how important it is not to use alone, etc. I have a narcan kit that just saved my husband’s life tonight which gives me a tiny bit of peace of mind but I stress constantly about him using/dying. When he does get sober I try to get extra pumped for his sobriety, celebrating every day of it. But just when I think things are going well, they take a turn. I am scheduled to talk to a counselor at the end of the month to help me through this experience. Otherwise I take things a day at a time, no one knows exactly how to deal with this but we are trying to figure it out along the way. *hugs*

Hi Mrs. B

Thank you for posting. I am so sorry that you are feeling on your own dealing with what you are going through with your husband’s addiction.

I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust. We offer support to the families of addicts. If you get in touch I can out you in contact with one of our team of trained and experienced people who you could talk with. They will listen, understand what you are going through, and talking with them might help you make sense of things. They can also let you know what other support is available.

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