02/21 The Dr. Phil House: Heroin Twins Follow-up
Quote From: mnatoli It breaks my heart to see all these people suffering addiction can be a difficult thing for people to understand if they are uneducated about everything with it, and it's very easy for people to pass judgment on people then to be understanding. Cause I was one of those people. Until I became addicted to pain killers 5yrs ago right after I finally got off of cocaine. I watched dr.phil everyday and it inspired me to go get help expectually joani and I am so scaried for her because it is a very hard thing to get over.. I went to rehab I was clean 6 months then I relasped I couldn't even telling why but I go to meeting every chance I can now, and I'm struggling trying to help my husband who at times seems to be losing his battle to his addiction, he is addicted to crack/cocaine, and I don't think there is anything that hurts worse than to watch someone whom you love with all your heart slowly kill theirselves and fell absolutely useless. because there is nothing that I can do but what I do that is every chance I have ask him to go to a meeting with me. If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it.
In June of this year, I will have ten years clean. I was addicted to crack cocaine and had lost my children. I met a man in recovery who later relapsed. I tried everything possible to keep him clean. I couldn't do it. If he's not willing, it won't work. Love him the best you can and let him know you are there for him. But you can't keep him clean. Just pray for him and keep yourself clean. My husband took his own life two and a half years ago. He was depressed and couldn't or wouldn't get off the drugs. I know the pain you are experiencing even though your husband is still there. I've been in your situation. Just continue to go to the meetings and stay clean! I'll be thinking of you.
