Welcome to SR, Bobaffet.

What she is doing is illegal and you could get drawn in legally for just knowing. She might want to look at the consequences for that, let alone for the physical consequences for abusing narcotics.

I'm sorry about your wife's pain and addiction and while there is not much you can do about changing her (only she can do that) you can call it like you see it and find help for yourself.

If there are any live meetings near you, I promise they are worth attending. Alanon, Naranon or CoDA are three similar programs that, contrary to their names, are not about the substance "they" are using but about "us" and what we can do to find a better path for ourselves in all areas of our lives.

Hugs
