1st, welcome to SR sorry you have this in your life but soberrecovery is a great place for support

If you havent yet, please try reading the sticky posts on each forum

you are not MAKING your husband use drugs
No matter how you are or what you do he is the only person that makes him use

YOU DID NOT cause it you cant control and you cant cure it!!!

Hes not addictted to pills for the second time in his life............once addicted ALWAYS addicted. He will not be able to use pills EVER and not ABUSE THEM.......recovery from addiction requires a daily program and total abstinence from the drug......one without the other doesnt really work, isnt recovery only being clean from the substance

He may have had time where he wasnt using the pills but addiction causes lasting changes in the brain he didnt stop being an addicit when he wasnt using the pills he was just not using

You asked what your next step should be, i would first like to suggest that you read as much as you can here on SR..........and stick around others will be along soon with more support
