Answer by grundlegoat
thats kind of tricky because a lot of addicts don’t think they are addicts because they have prescriptions, don’t know they have a problem, or just aren’t ready to admit they have a problem.

Drug Addicts or Former Drug Addicts, Please Help.?
Question by ***: Drug addicts or former drug addicts, please help.?
My husband is picking small fights with me and our 9yr old. He’s been using cocaine on and off for 3 yrs. For the most part when he hasn’t been using he has either been locked up in a rehab or doing jail time. What I’m trying to understand is if drug users look for any excuse to use and why? What do I say to him during these situations where he acts irrational and threatens to go use? I’m almost 6 months pregnant and need a drug free environment for my family. Any suggestions on how to cope, understand, or approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Lauren

I really want to help her get through this. I already talked to her parents and they told me that they need help in finding addiction treatment centers.

If you can do outpatient, then you are still capable of making decisions about your care, and taking care of business.
