He rarely will talk to me, but all be keeps saying is he's trying to find himself right now. I am so scared he will not be able to recover and I don't know how to be there for him, or get him to come home. I can't even sleep. Please help!

Welcome to the Board. I'm sorry you're in this spot. Especially while you're expecting.
Unfortunately, opiate addiction is extremely difficult to get a handle on. Three months clean is not a long time. Your AH came to a fork in the road when faced with pain medication, and he chose to feed his addiction.
Do you have family in the area that can provide you support? I would assume the worst right now. Protect yourself, protect your children, and especially protect your unborn child.
