Husband relapsed heroin
My husband & I went into rehab 6mos ago to kick opiates ( heroin. )
Last Fri., I think, he told me he relapsed ( & I have a feeling he has been relapsing every mo. when he gets paid on norcs or methadomes too, as his moods were great in the beginning of every mo & lousy later in the mo....when we don't have any $$$. )
I was able to push what he told me to the back of my mind. But, last last 2 mornings, I've been waking up w/deep depression, unable to push my thoughts away.
Plus, in mi, there doesn't seem to be any long-term rehabs that accept medicare ( 5 days is the longest. )
I can't seem to kick this dispair.
P.S. I'm also dealing with day 13 of suboxine withdrawal.

Hi kzaug, welcome to SR. You have a lot going on. It's hard when a spouse relapses and you are maintaining your own sobriety. Take care of yourself. What support do you have in real life? Keep reaching out. You can get through this.

Ty everyone!
And Ruby2, my support is God, but I think I need a few humans too... lol!
I'm quite confident that I can remain clean. It's just that having these withdrawals for so long is soooo tiring! I just got through benzo withdraws in Jan. ( after 5mos of withdrawals.....by far, the worst & longest withdrawals I've ever experienced. )

Ok, I'm going to post to myself, until a recovering addict comes along ( therapeutic for me . 
)
I think things are just getting to me because of these darn shakes I have & lack of sleep.
Normally, I am a very strong woman! And I'll be damned if I ever become addicted to what slaves me!
No more prescription drugs! No more street drugs to overcome the withdrawals of prescribed drugs!
Called new psychiatrist today...have an appointment for next Tuesday.
Will control my chronic pain w/yoga, massage, acupuncture, anything but pain killers!!!
Have no idea how I'll control my anxiety, my PTSD, but I just know it will not be w/benzos ever again!!!
Will support my husband in his fight to recovery! Not sure how yet??? But will learn how!!!
I will succeed!
