From a meth addict's perspective: Please KICK
US OUT!
I've
seen a lot of wives on the board talk about ways to cope with
their addict husbands. For me being the wife and the addict I
wanted to share what my perspective on this is.
I realize what helps me the most is when my husband doesn't fall
for my bullsh*t.
I want him to question me and not give in to my lies and excuses
so easily.
I want him to give me a hard time if I come home late. I want
him to have phone numbers and addresses of the places I go so
that I know he can check on me at any time.
He took my name off our checking account and so now if I need
money I have to ask him and if I need gas for my car I don't
want him giving me cash. I want him to insist on him using his
ATM card because I don't trust myself with money.
When he found out I relapsed he didn't just let it slide he's
going to leave me for awhile which now pushes me harder to
maintain my sobriety.
No spouse should have to baby an addict and cater to their every
demand. We addicts need to help our spouses financially and
emotionally and if we're just using, lying, cheating, unemployed
and being unproductive then our spouses should not have to
PUT UP WITH IT!
Don't fall for our excuses if we don't go to rehab or NA.
Insist that we do or KICK US OUT! |

I wish I would have! I left and he stayed
and I ended up losing many of my things, since they were sold
for drug money... |

There is a lot more to my story, I still got caught up
in the drama after I kicked him. You know how it is. Only last
weekend he turned up on my doorstep (remember he moved on with
that new "host" skank).. a month of silence and then he
appears.....hmmmmm what a pathetic sight I had to look out.
He came to me as a "friend" hmmmm ...he had no one else to
turn to in his words.
I felt nothing but compassion for him. |
