Hello,
My name is Sandi and my husband is the using again I should say. He was clean for 15 years and then with a lot of misfortunate events that happened this last winter he slipped and started using meth again. I was so upset and hurt because we came so far and then I caught him. There has been lots of lies and excuses. I have finally came to terms that I will never be able to get him to sober up. I now know that it has to be him and him alone to do this. I will never leave him. I love him way to much to give up on him as well so I'm kind of in a rock and hard place. I prayed that I can find peace and patience and then Nar-Anon popped up on my google search and I started reading the stories. I have already found some peace just by reading them so I know the Lord showed me this so I can start working on myself. Anyways just wanted to say a little bit about my situation and that I'm truly blessed to be part of this group.

Recently I discovered that my husband of 40 years has been buying cocaine from our son (who is 40 yo), and our son has been a drug addict for 2+ years. I'm devistated as all the work that went into trying to help him get over his addiction was instantly wiped away by my husband buying drugs from him. My husband has turned into someone I don't know anymore. He is 65, and wants to "work less", but uses the excuse that coke "helps him work harder". He works independently for some people as a handyman, and we have a couple of rental properties. He just bought another rental property, that will need alot of work. He has "disapeared" a couple of nights (his phone shows the rental property, but he does not answer). My husband had a problem with coke 20 years ago, and we worked through it. This time, nothing. No "I'm sorry", no remorse. He is verbally abusive, and arrogant, leaving his "snot" anywhere...sorry tmi but best example. Addiction runs in the family, this caused our other son to revert back to alcohol, not an excuse at all, but he feels like if they can smoke coke, and no one does anything, why is everyone all over me for alcohol. I've worked with him on that and we seem in a better place now. But how do I proceed with my coke addicted husband and son? Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you for sharing. Your circumstances have similarities to mine, although it’s my son who uses Meth. I’m afraid for him because he thinks he can get clean all by himself. He’s back at home now after we sold the house he didn’t want to live in any longer. That’s where he found demons and voices that were haunting him. Two or three hospital visits and one arrest later, he’s back in his childhood room. He’s 42.
I feel helpless at times, although I’m getting mental health assistance from a great psychologist. My son won’t get help. He attempts to go clean, but he has been unsuccessful. My husband and I are frustrated but I’ve been trying to keep peace because he’s been going thru cancer treatments. That is one of the reasons he says he came back home, although like I said he was ready to get out of that home we helped him buy.

Luckily we haven’t lost too much financially, although it’s so sad to see him with just clothes and a small amount of money. No job, no car, no will to do much lately. He’s isolated himself in his room for most of the day now, as there were some fights with us about him finally getting help.

I pray everyday for his recovery and so is all of my family.

Hi Kami, I am sorry to hear about your situation. I am also glad you found ourweb page. Please try to join us for a group meeting. We meet at 9:00 P.M. eastern time on Monday and Thursday and at 8:30 P.M. on Saturday evening. Everyone in our group has a lived experience with addiction. It is a disease. You will learn alot on how to get your life back and deal with your son. Your story sounds so much like mine. I have a 38 year old son who has battled his illness since he was 14. He is currently in jail for assaulting and robbing me and will soon enter a 2 year drug court program for the 2nd time. If he messes up he is looking at several years in prison. I hope to see you soon at our meetings. Nar-Anon has given me some sense of sanity and a life back.

Hi,

I am Karen, my 39 yr old son is a recovering drug/alcohol addict. He has been in and out of treatment since 16. He went to a dual diagnosis treatment after his best friend died and his grandfather died due to depression and to detox from Klonapin. He was there for 6 months. He came home Oct. 2023. He was laid off about 6 months later. He hasn't worked since except to cell his collectables. He lives at home. He has no life outside the house.
All his friends have gotten married or and still in active addiction in some way. i feel I am the worse person for him.
