Methadone Uses

Question by Asuka: why? heroin addiction?
my husband had been clean(still on 110ml of methadone everyday tho n some diazipans) for 2years.
he loved me, he loved kids, he wanted me to have his child one day.
and quite quickly i got pregnant and carried his baby.
our daughter is healthy and beautiful.

BUT he had a massive slip.
we were happy together and all but because i started getting money from social welfare and he didnt have to provide me food ect.. he got some extra few quid for himself.

one day he came back home looking stoned. he just took our daughter to the doctor so i thought he couldnt have been drinking.(he has problems with alcohol too) .
i had to accuse him wot he had been doing outside.he said nothing, went into bathroom.
i had a bad feeling so i searched his jackets poket.
and i found some needles and citric acid.
obviously, i was taking heroin like he used to 2years ago.

our beautiful baby wasnt enough to get his head think straight.
our marridge was not enough.
our new apartment and everything…

nothing was enough for him.
why do addicts need drugs. wot can stop them taking drugs. cant my husband break the circle of addiction or are addicts always addicts…

does anyone have similar experience? do you know how i can cope with this reality…

Hi…well I barely understood your grammar..But I made it out well enough to understand what’s going on.I am an addict and will always be an addict,and I know that I can not be around any kind of drug.Period.I abused opiates…like heroin…same as your husband…I can basically sit here and type a novel about my own personal history with addiction and also try to explain to you some of what your husband is going through,and what I ‘think’ you should do about this situation as of NOW! But….what I can and will try to do here..is to break it down and make it as short as I possibly can,ok? Your pi$ $ ed off right now…as you should be.I would be too!! Your husband CAN break the cycle of his own addiction..of course he can.All he has to do is get into a program that works for him,find a good sponsor..attend NA meetings on a regualr basis…stay with this regular program..do his weekly..even twice weekly urines(and pass of course)..And stay sober/clean….It’s NOT as easy as I make it sound right now..NO WAY!! But with the right system and the right sponsor,and right program…it’s very possible! I’ve been sober/clean for 3 years now..so I must be doing something right..I attend my NA meetings..I’m in a program where I also attend meeting twice a week and give urines twice a week,have a sponsor and 2 counselors…Listen…You have 2 options right now…You can either stick around..along with your innocent child and just wait for your husband to do what he already knows what he HAS to do…Or..you can leave the home or ask him to leave until he gets the help that he KNOWS he needs….He already knows what lays ahead..he knows the rules/laws…of drug addiction..It’s NOT like he’s walking into this addiction blind-folded and totally oblivious to what may happen.HE KNOWS!! Addicts are always going to be addicts…but that doesn’t mean that we always have to USE….He is now chosing to USE…instead of NOT using..There IS a huge difference in being a sober addict or being an active addict! You said that you’ve used before…I’m sure the only reason why you stopped using was you became pregnant,right? We/he all have choices..you now choose NOT to use..he chooses to use..Your going to have to DO whats best for your child..not him! If I were in your shoes? He would be well on his way out the door…and I ONLY say this due to the clear FACT…that he KNOWS exactly what the rules of addiction are…and he KNOWS the concequences,and the risks he’s taking and also…. what he may be losing.And like you said….now that you’ve received a little extra income? He’s thinking it’s time for his a$ $ to party….you seem to blame the social welfare as the reason why he started using heroin again??? He would have done this anyway…just as soon as he got a few extra bucks in his pocket…He’s the ONLY one to blame…Good luck to you and I honestly hope you do what is best for this innocent child…Take care.
