• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

If he has just come out of prison, then he may well spend three hours watching the game with a friend. There is no reason to imagine that anything is other than what he says.

Give him the benefit of the doubt, and try to understand his need not to be restricted or constrained for a while. It will take him some time to readjust and to find his feet.

But if you find cocaine at any time, then show him the door, for both his sake and your own.

Hi,

sorry to hear what your going through.
No one needs to live a life of hurting hands, mental,or drug abuse partners.

If he starts to use again,n you find out.

Al-anon,n open AA meetings would help you understand n
give you some kind of direction.They also have abuse homes
shalter you can stay in.

State can help you with this.For your sake,n if you have children,
get some help.Don't stay in denial,n thing this will get better.
It gets worse.

Love yourself enough to get the help.

Change comes,when your willing to make that
first step to better your life.

Praying for ya:prayer:

I read your post, and finally felt that there was someone out there who may understand what I go through. It is hard to sum up in just a few sentences how the overall addiction process has broken down the trust in your marraige. But for me, it goes without saying. I read between the lines of what you said, and felt what you were feeling. I know that fear of wondering what your husband is really up to. I know how manipulative they can be in their addictions. I have no real answers for you, and I wish I did. The fact is that I am searching for some myself. If you want to know more of my story, I posted it on the "Women who Struggle" thread. The best thing I can tell you at this point is to do what you and I both are trying to do. Reach out. Find people to talk to who UNDERSTAND your pain. It drives me crazy that everyone, Christians alike, always jump to the conclusion that I need to leave my husband. In some cases that may be the solution, but if that is not what you desire then God may want healing for your marraige. It all depends on how committed you are to listening to His voice I guess. If you ever want to talk, please do. I could use a friend. Also, remember that God is still in the business of miracles and can breathe life into the dry bones of your marraige. I will be praying for you.

Just give him the rope...if he is guilty, he will hang by it, if not, then everything is good. Seriously, would you want your husband breathing down your neck if you wanted to take a shopping trip. I don't think you would, so don't be that person -- just let him do what he does, it will all come out in the laundry either way.

I hope all works out for you, and the only reason I say anything is because I was certain I had to baby sit my husband for a long time, until I saw that I didn't care for him baby sitting me when I wasn't even doing anything wrong.

Bottom line, if you have something to hide, it will find you, and there is no reason two adults have to keep tabs on each other. As they say, live and let live.

Peace!
