How to deal with drug use

I found my husband is doing drugs, we both had a problem and even went to jail for it. He says he only did it a few times but I'm still seeing the signs of drug use, I need help for myself, I watch every move he makes and I feel like I'm going crazy:

Hi Sendrina - I'm sorry for your situation. You'll find a lot of support and encouragement here tho.

Have you considered NarAnon?

Alanon?

I just looked them up I think I will give them a try, I'm not sure if I should try and work through this (with a risk of going to prison) or just pack up and leave to protect myself, if he lyed about it this time I think more then likely he will do it again, right? How do you deal with someone being on drugs? How do you know they r not bringing it into your home and putting you in danger?

((Sendrina)) - Welcome to SR!

To answer your questions, you don't know for sure. I'm a recovering addict and had to get away from my still-using addict bf as it affected my recovery and I didn't want to go back to jail. Actually, it would have been prison as I was on probation after getting out of jail.

I do hope you check out the Friends & Family forum ((Dee)) put the link of. The great people there have helped me realize it's okay to do what is best for ME and also realize that if my gut says "something's not right", it's usually right.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I'm sorry for your situation, but I am glad that you are concerned about your safety and how this could affect you legally. Make sure to take care of yourself.
