I am also trying to support a husband who is battling a cocaine addiction. That stuff is evil and it has torn our world apart…. Is your husband seeking help? Attending CA or NA meetings? Having any kind of therapy? You must also keep reminding yourself that you can not control whether he gets well or not. It’s a very hard thing to come to terms with. I am also struggling with accepting this fact. But ultimately we can offer the help and support but they have to want to get well. Please don’t forget that you also deserve happiness! I think as the ones trying to support a loved one in addiction we spend all our energy and love on trying to make them better and we forget ourselves in the process.
You’re on a forum for people seeking support for the damage that drugs do to peoples lives. This post is disgusting. You should be ashamed of the pain and misery you bring to other peoples lives and all for your own financially gain. Shame on you.
Hi MaguMum,
I am in a similar situation myself, my husband is addicted to cocaine and alcohol. The lies are unbearable as you really do question every single thing they say in the end. My husband is about to go into rehab for the 3rd time and although I’ve consistently supported him so far I am now at breaking point.
You have to ask yourself is this the life you really want? You spend so long concentrating on them on and what they need to be happy/to be well you forget yourself in the process. You stick by them as you have faith they will get well and you married him because he’s a great person and you were happy before. But you do also need to start thinking about your future and happiness, you deserve a wonderful life to.
It will take a lot of bravery to break the cycle but I’m not sure for me I’ll ever regain the trust that should be there in a marriage.
Do you ever also feel resentful towards them? But then you feel like a terrible person for feeling that way? I know I do!
There are other people out there who are going though similar experiences so never feel alone x
