I have never been in this situation. But you should visit him, if possible, to show him you still care and you arent going to leave him. This will give him confidence in his life.

also, when he gets home, you need to make sure he does not do drugs…you need to keep him away from known drug users/dealers. Call the cops on him if he ever uses them, or is trying to get them. Don’t back down…stay strong.

Why don’t you check out a NarAnon meeting? It’s for family and friends of addicts, and everyone attending will be able to relate to your situation. You will get great information on dealing with life married to someone with addiction, and also about how to set boundaries and be supportive of him when he returns home. Good luck in dealing with this problem. You sound like a loving wife and will be a benefit to his recovery.

The only thing that I can say is to pray that God makes the drug nasty to him!

I’m an ex-smoker and only give Jesus the praise for my EVER quitting!

I smoked Very heavy on Newports/Kools!

As long as he has the desire to want to stay clean; all should go well with prayer.

I wish you the best!

I guess praise him for getting clean so he can build a relationship with his son.

How long had he been on drugs? Has he tried to kick ‘em before.

I would find it hard to encourage someone for actions that could distroy a relationship with his child.

Let him make his own choices. Don’t offer any help. Let him have the pride of succeeding and beating the drugs.

You can go to al-anon to help you cope with the dissapointments and anger you might feel towards him.

if been through this and it is gonna be really hard for both of you…visit him when you can and let him know that you still love him ..be a part of it all when you are invited into it.ask his rehab place where you can get some help they will know where to send you.when he gets out just be there for him and still let him know that you love him.support goes a long way and change the routine that you guys had going….go to movies,out to dinner,and go for long walks as a family…good luck with it all and god will be you support system if needed…

I don’t mean to be the bearer of bad news but the recovery rate for drug addicts is slim. You are putting yourself and your child in a situation which may or may not work out well. I would start finding out where AA and NA meetings are in your area and start attending the meetings and meet some of the wives of the people who are addicts. They have a support group of their own. Encourage your husband to attend these meetings regularly when he gets out of rehab.

While he is in rehab write upbeat letters and send pictures of the child.

Try to have faith in him and hope he doesn’t slip and go back on drugs.

i was in rehab for three months and the best thing was as much contact with my girl friend as possible. Don’t enable your spouse in any way, they might beg for it but it the worst possible thing you can do for them. When they get out and need to go to AA or Na meetings make sure to make yourself available attend with them even if you don’t want to, solitary rehabilitation makes the recovery even harder for the person going through it. Make sure they understand that you are upset about the circumstances but that you will be at there side and will stick with them through the bullshit. Good luck. p.s. I went through heroine with drawls after 3 years of shooting 2 grams a day and have been clean for a year now, he should have no trouble with cocaine, cocaine is all in the mind [mostly]. Good luck with him, things will work out for the three of you if everyone does there part. ADIOS.
