Can he quit meth (methamphetamine) and how will I know? I left my husband a year ago and moved 800 miles away. It started
nine years ago at the beginning of our marriage when I found a small
container in his pocket that looked to be crank. At the time, I was
clueless and ran to the police with in my house shoes to find out what
it was. I immediately told his family and we intervened. Nothing
happened except him saying he would not do it anymore and that he did
not have a problem. From then on, I don't think he ever quit for more
than a short period of time. I was and am still so confused. I have
found so many different things associated with drug abuse over the
years. When I approached him, he would always deny and we would end up
in a huge fight. I just wanted him to say, "okay, I have been using and
I will quit". He drew the last straw when I caught him with a young girl
having sex and watched him use. I couldn't believe my eyes for both
reasons. After reading the message about meth making people very horny,
I thought maybe that had something to do with it. He says now that he
has quit. But the last time I went for a visit he slept most of the
time, he would get up and visit and function, but once he got still he
was out. He got very angry at times and would go from violently mad to
crying like crazy. I am so confused. Can someone quit this stuff on
their own? I am scared to go back to him without demanding drug
counseling. He says he will go, but he never gets around to it. He wants
me and the kids to come back home. But I am afraid of me being there and
going to jail with him. And what about the kids? How will I know if he
has quit? What are the signs? What is rock bottom? I have demanded
relocation of our family away from the friends, but will that help?
Eight years of drug use is a long time, what will it take? I just wish
he would realize that I love him and want my family together
desperately, but I don't want to live with someone who uses. And what
about pills off the street? Sometimes he says that is all he uses for
his back. But do you have to smoke them, snort them? Is that possible to
do with pain pills? Is my husband a junkie and I don't want to see it? I
am so hurt, angry, and confused. I can't ever make sense with him. He
doesn't understand. I want to help him, but do not know how. Replies
