im a wife...


hmmto my hubby who has an issue with percocet.  I don't know WHAT to do about it anymore.  I am trying SO hard to support him and have been doing it for about a year now.  IF he doesn't have them he sleeps all the time and when he does have them he plays on his game 24/7 and forgets he has a family.  I love this man but i can't take it anymore.  I cant TAKE being ignore and my kids being ignored.  I just dont know what to do, people may say its NOT a big deal but he has to snort about 30mg of perks right off the bat and goes through about 8 10mg a day sometimes more WHEN he has them.  I started to investigate my bank acct and be more on top of it but he is angry at me and calls me a cop.

I'm sorry to hear that you and your family are suffering through your husband's addiction. You may want to visit a Naranon meeting in your area. Naranon offers support to the families of addicts. Here is a website with a meeting list:

All the best to you and your family.

I wouldn't know what to do. He is in SUCH denial...ok maybe not he KNOWS he has a problem BUT thinks he can do this on his own but yet he is on the phone all the time trying to get perks. He refuses to go to a Narc anonyous group.

It's okay that you don't know what to do. Are you able to visit a Naranon meeting? There are lots of people there who have been in your exact situation. Maybe they can give you some suggestions that worked for them. Who knows; maybe the same suggestions can work for you, too.

God Bless you husband maam,, God Bless him right into recovery I hope and pray for your family.
Its a dis-ease that affects thw hole family as it has done yours and all thats possible is to put your recovery first.
Know well that there are many families in this wide world and indeed in your opwn town whose life gets centered totally on the addict.
Im an addict too,, and Im now seeing the family perspective of the suffering.
I ahev a brothe, had a father,had incles and a grandfather all addicted people.
In the midst of it all I was Graced to recover.
I belioeve in my taht deep ion my souls I wanted to stop being sick and tired but didnt know how till NA offered me a new way of life.
Addicts can be counselled,threatened,treated etc. but till the desire comes from within to get clean and stay clean all we can do as famly is to Practiec the 12 Step recovery Program ourselves.
Thats where the Naranon Fellowship can be life saving,,
remember we arent the cause
we cannot control
we cannot cure he addict of his or her addiction,,,
best of luck to you !!
