AO - I thought about my previous post and realized that it came off in a different way than I intended. Even though your husband may have a relatively light habit I don't want to give the impression that it will be a cake walk. Early on in my addiction when I had a relatively light pill habit I found withdrawal to be unbearable at the time. Hearing stories about more severe withdrawal and going through it are two different things. The fact that others had kicked much worse habits than mine gave me little comfort at the time. It still sucked and I still failed. It wasn't until I had a much worse habit that I was able to get through withdrawal the first time (even though the withdrawal at that point was much, much worse). That was because I just couldn't keep using. When I had a light pill habit it was much easier to give up on the detox and go back to the relative stability of using.
