Just Stumped Thats All

Supposedly my husband is in Detox in another state...or at least that's what he said. I don't know anything other than it is supposed to be just outside of Albuquerque NM. I have a really hard time believeing anything he says right now...although I want to. He claims its a 21 day program with no outside contact.....how do I find out if he's telling the truth?

Just Stumped welcome to the recovery forum. In my experience and I have about thirty-five years to speak of. I would say that you are being played for a sucker. If you know the term. It would be to your advantage to not believe any of what you see and half of what you hear. In this case do not blieve any of what you hear. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is better you awake now than later.

I have to agree with Pernell.
The fellow may be telling the truth.
But the statistics are horribly against him.
Fortunately, statistics don't lie.
Learn early and learn often! :-)

Your husband is deffinitly lying, MMT does not have a program with "no outside contact". That alone just sounds so suspicious wouldn't you agree? The question is why is he lying? What do you think he is doing? Do you think that he is cheating on you or do you think that he is cheating on you with an opiate? I find that very sad for someone to lie to their wife and move to another state just to get a fix...I was addicted to opiates myself and I know that when you are a smack addict, smack comes first above everything else. I think that you need to realize that yourself as well, a junkie puts their fix in front of anything and anyone else no matter what. They will not say that, but it is true. Opiates are GODDAMN addictive and take control of anyone's life. Just stumped, I think that you should take control of your life, tell him that it is either you or the drug. If you do not do this he will never stop, and who knows mayeb he never will. But you got to realize that he has a disease and he NEEDS treatment. My deepest sympthies go out to you, one of the hardest things in life is being married to a junkie.......
