I'm in the same situation as you are. I have been married for nine months to an addict. I love this man with my total heart but If I would have known then what I know now, I would have never married him. But as they say, Hind-sight is 20/20. For some reason God put me in this relationship and here I am, wondering what kind of lesson he is trying to teach me.

This board is my saving grace, you will find nothing but support here.

Focus on you and your needs and not your husbands. I know that sounds selfish but it's not. Your husband as well as mine cares nothing about our needs, his only focus is getting high. The only person that can help your husband and get your husband sober is your husband. It took me a very long time to understand that concept. There is a sticky on this board called What do addicts do.. every time I get frustrated or start feeling like a crazy Co dependant, I read it and it helps me put it all back in prespective.

Good Luck to you.. Post here often because every single one of us knows your pain.:ghug2
