That must have been so terrifying! The sad part about addiction is even after what should be a wake up call, addicts can find a way to minimize what happened, convince themselves that next time they'll keep things under control, etc. I know that some addicts quit on their own but having a support group such as NA, going to rehab or intensive outpatient treatment, and using other tools makes success more likely. If your husband is serious about stopping it would make sense for him to utilize whatever resources he can. You can't force him to do anything, but it's important to find your own support system - Naranon, Alanon, etc. So sorry that you're going through this. I just discovered this forum recently, but I can already tell it's a great resource. Glad you found it too.
