Support for spouse/family?


Hello,


I'm wondering if there is a message board just for family members/loved ones.


My husband struggled w/ depression and anxiety...just kept spiralling down, down and finally I realized he had become addicted to cocaine/crack. Also his prescribed Xanax.


He just came out of a 2-week stretch at an inpatient treatment facility, and he seems totally committed to healing, going to meetings, abstaining from everything (except cigarettes which he started again after 10 years as a non-smoker).


While I'm glad he's in recovery...I'm reeling from all of this. I'm still so angry over all of the lies he told and what he put me and our kids through. I spend months trying to maintain sympathy for my depressed husband when all the time he was lieing to support his addiction.


And he just seems like a different person...not like the man I've known and loved for 20 years (prior to his addiction). I'm struggling. Need some support.

Lady the first thing is you will need NarAnon !!


Thats the right place for you to be now !!!


Next thers also recovery for the family to do !!!


You will be guided in NarAnon !!


Your telephone directory will show numbers of NA ,and Naranon.


Certain to find NA and in case Nar Anon isnt listed then the Yellow pages or a call to the NA Number will get you there !!


Or maybe the folks at the alanon section of this site know where in your city/town NarAnon meetings are held !!


I,, a recovering addict,, clean and serene just for today pray the you all will recover from the disease called addiction !!!


 and sinciere regards to your husband!!!
