    hi jules,

    Mental health on its own is a battle, unfortunately a lot of the time alcohol and drugs walk hand in hand. I know as I suffer from this, at the end of the day all you can do is be there for her and be a good friend like you are being. Just keep doing what your doing even though its hard on you. well done you, she is lucky to have a friend that cares as much as you do.

    Hey himbeere

    I’m of the same age as your husband, nobody here can say if he is addicted or not. But being a user of this I can only give you my experiences. You say it controls him, and the disappearing and lies. These are behaviours of someone with a problem. It is fixable but he has to realise it himself. It must be so hard for you but you need to keep strong. And a little thing you could try, the times he regrets after is your best chance to speak to him about it, not accusing but asking him why he does it if it makes him feel like that, don’t back him in to a corner just listen. when he is like that is genuine feeling like that. Well done you for doing what your doing. And it can always be fixed sorry stay positive.
