Question by allie: Can my husband still recover from his drug addiction?
I’m starting to lose hope. My husband is addicted to pot. After months of negotiation, he finally agreed to enter a drug rehab and recieve treatment. The thing is, I don’t think any program works for him. He just finished his second treatment program and I don’t think it made any changes. He still smokes pot. Do I have to ask him to enter another drug rehab? Do I have to finally give up on him?
Best answer:
Answer by Katherine W I think there’s a group for the spouses of addicts, called Narc-Anon. You should look into it. I think that, ultimately, it would be healthier to leave him, as he’s not going to change as long as you’re there. Your leaving will either give him the impetus to change, or at least you get away from him and his addiction. Some things can’t be fixed unless the person chooses to, and your husband is choosing dope over you.
An inside look at Mae La Oon camp, one of 9 refugee camps holding over 150000 people who have escaped the Military Dictatorship of Burma. The people in the camps have suffered unendurable losses. The camps have existed for 30 years. Children born in these camps have never seen anything outside the camp gates. DARE Network is making a difference on the Borderline.

My best friend used to be addicted to drugs, but went through rehab and revelations and is now sober. But he says he is still a junkie. I don’t understand. I know he definitely doesn’t do drugs anymore. Can he still legitimately be considered a junkie?

My son overdosed on methadone. He was taking high doses and is now in a coma in the hospital. He did not get it legal from a clinic.
Thank you for your answer. He also had a massive heart attack and an infection in his lungs. The doctors say to watch and wait and take it day to day. It is in God’s hands. I lit a candle from the link you sent. That is the why I think it is the best answer.
My partner battles 2 addictions: sex (100s of mags and videos stashed away in the attic) and shopping (finished paying off a 6-figure cc debt). He has since discovered meditation and practises it for an hour a day. It seems to help. He has become “mindful” of his actions. My concern related to the benefits of a 12-step program in conjunction with meditation. You see… both of his addictions are something that he conducts with secrecy, especially from me. Isn’t it important that he actually goes to a 12-step and says the words out loud “I am a sex addict,” to others and depend on the group for guidance when he is feeling weak? Otherwise, he only has a non-accountable method of managing his urges. So, is meditation enough? I’m so tired of the lying…. Any advice/
