Cynical you are right. I cannot address his problem. Only he can. I can confront a problem if it is affecting me and it is and I was ready to part ways with husband. He said he does not want to do this anymore though, he stopped, and he said he wanted to get help. He will have to get help from a dr and learn how to live without using on his own. We will be here whether he gets help or not. If he doesn't get help though and learn how to live without using he will be gone. That's all there is to it.
