(((Pock89))) - Welcome to SR, though sorry for what has brought you here. There is a lot of really good information that may answer some of your questions in the "stickie" threads..the ones at the top of this forum.

I'd also suggest reading around, seeing what other's have been through/are still going through in loving an A (addict).

If he truly wants recovery, he will get it. If he doesn't? He'll keep doing what he's doing. FWIW, I'm a recovering crack addict. I'm also the loved one of some A's, so I know both sides of the fence of addiction.

I would recommend that while he's where he is, workign on HIS recovery, you read and post here, think about what you want your future to look like.

Also, please know..as you've seen, detox, sober-living, rehab...none of those are cures. They can implant the seeds of recovery into the A's brain, but it's up to the A to decide whether to nurture those seeds and work recovery, or just let him lay their dormant.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
