wow - eerie similarities to my situation. my addict fiance attempted suicide on july 21, and was subsequently in the psychiatric unit for 6 days (unfortunately, he also suffers from bipolar and thus his OD attempt was blamed on that and the addiction issue was still hidden). it wasn't until after this happened that i realized i had an addict on my hands. the sticky posts on the top of this board taught me a TON about how to best handle this. good luck from someone that knows the crazy trauma of a suicide attempt and a blinding realization that your engaged to an addict.
