I want to know will my husband ever get off drugs?

Question

We are not together right now. But, will he? It kills me know that he is throwing his life away. He always has to be smoking pot, drinking, taking pills or anything that alters his mind? What is wrong with him?

Answer 1

He's his greatest default in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a person that don't give two craps about them self can only do all of the things that he does......  You truly can't love anyone that don't love them self................

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Only he can stop himself. I am an alcoholic and you have to want to quit. AA or anything else can help but the want has to be with him.

Be a friend if you can but relies he is looking for a way not to deal with life as it is.  Praying and faith is the only thing you can do.

Answer 3

He's an addict.  He is the only one that can make him stop.  Maybe you leaving will be the kick in the @ss he needs.

Answer 4

Plain and simple, he's an addict. It is possible for him to get clean, but it will have to be something that HE wants to do. He can go to rehab, get right spiritually, but none of those things are going to work, unless he has his mind set on getting clean. Talk to him, and tell him how you feel. Explain to him that you want him to get clean, then leave it at that. The rest is up to him.  

Answer 5

What is wrong with him is called "addiction".  Addiction is a progressive disease that can ultimately be fatal.  Let's just hope he gets help before he dies!

Answer 6

He is an addict!! The only person that can help him is himself.  The best thing you can do for him is keep away from him as it may wake him up.  If you want him back you could tell him that you will only do this if he admitts himself into a rehab.  There are some good rehab programs where you stay in rehab for around a year, most addict programmes follow the 12 step program,  which involves digging deep inside yourself to work out why you ended up an addict,  you also learn a whole lot of other strategies to help you deal with life in general.  He needs to admitt to himself first that he has a problem,  only he can change this.  Drugs and alcohol,  stop a person from actually being able to look at themselvs.  Stay away from him.  Tell him to admitt himself to detox and then off to a rehab.  There is nothing you can do for him.

Answer 7

There is nothing you can do.  AA meetings will tell you the same.  If he doesn't want to change there is nothing you can do.  Hang around and pick up the pieces or walk away.  All you can do.

Answer 8

Hes an addict and no, he will never get off drugs just because you want him to. If he ever kicks the drugs, it will be because he wants to with a team of rehab specialists to help.  

Answer 9

He probably will, if you divorce him and take all his money...there's a wake-up call
