Husband in need

Ok, this is my first post so be kind. I need some guidance here. My story is far to long to post in a single thread but here's the gist. Let me just say that I love my wife very much! My wife came to me about 8 months ago and confessed an addiction to percocet. She said she was clean but still needed some kind of pain meds for her headaches and broken ankle. She got the fentanyl patch from her doc. That had some very unexpected (and pleasant) side effects. Since then, her doc has put her on roxys for breakthrough pain in addition to the fentanyl. I have been doling them out from a safe but she has still gotten other scripts from 2 other docs for vicodin and now more percocet. She says she's working towards getting off of them but every time we get close, the headaches or ankle pain comes back and we're off to the pain doc again. I don't want her to suffer but this constant worrying about pills is killing us both.
thanks to all on this forum for your help. I've been reading other's stories a lot and have gained strength from them.
