Question by dspartida: How does he stop using Meth?
Here’s the story… My husband of 1 1/2 years now, has been an addict to meth since age 16 and now is 28. He’s had a real bad childhood with abusive parents and has also been in and out of rehabs. His runs would typically run for about 2-3 months. non-stop user!
We met nearly 2 yrs ago and he said I gave him a reason to wanna quit! 6 months ago we had a beautiful daughter! Somthing he has dreamed about for many years! He loves his job, family and home! Since we have been together he has used 4 different times! Witch his family says they have never seen. We attend church and stay away from negative influences! But the way he describes it is, something in his mind just clicks and he feels like it is a battle of God and the devil fighting for him! He wants to stop be doesn’t know what to do. Any idea’s?
He doesn’t wanna be that person he was at 16…

Sorry to say this but “Rehab” seems like the logical option in this situation, and I’m sorry to hear about your husband struggling with this, my boyfriend has been a cocaine user for years now and he does it occasionally but I pray he’ll stop because I’m frightened he’ll overdose or go for crack if he can’t get it

He needs to joing a support group. He needs to sit on his hands. He needs to find a hobby. He needs to decide that he loves you and your daughter more than meth and never ever get around the crap again. Good luck to you and your hubby.
He needs a treatment program, and he needs to join Narcotics Anonymous and attend meetings regularly. And YOU need to get some counseling to help you be stong enough to stand up for your family.
You may be his reason for living but he is still finding excuses to use one of the most addictive drugs on the planet. And you will always be second when you are competeing with a drug.
First you should consider attending a support group for people whose loved ones are addicts to make sure that you are helping him and not indavertently contributing to his use.
Secondly, if he has been in treatment many times, he does know what to do, he just isn’t quite ready to totally ready. Over the long haul some kind of 12-step support group helps people live a clean/sober and fulfilling life. There are not any medications at this time which specifically work on meth addiction, but his brain function is probably down, in which case he may want to discuss the use of an antidepressant with his doctor or a psychiatrist. He may not technically be depressed, but his brain’s neurotransmitter functioning is likely depressed/suppressed. Good Luck!
I am truly sorry that you are in this situation. And to be bringing up a child with a man that has a drug problem I am sure has you second guessing — not your love for your husband, but for whats best for your baby girl. If you really love this man and know deep down he is a good person, get him into a long term rehab. Even though he has been in and out before, I think he needs something with long term extensive care. Supporting him while he is going through this is the best thing you can do for him. Good luck, but if he keeps going back, I would really consider your options, your daughter does not need to witness such things even with as young as she is.
