How Can I Help My Crack Addicted Husband?

Question by : How can I help my crack addicted husband?
My husband sadly informed me this past Saturday that he has been smoking crack cocaine. He also stole checks from his own mother to obtain the crack, signing her name to them. Then, early Sunday morning, he lied to me about where he was going and went and borrowed money from people so he could get a couple of “dubs” as he told me they are called.
I’m scared, I’m angry, I’m confused, I’m sad, I’m hurt, and just do not understand how he could do this to me and to his mother who is in poor health (she lives with us). He is 30 years old and has lost his biological father (due to a massive heart attack) when he was only 8 years old, and he lost his step father (due to a massive heart attack) in 2006. He has always had anger issues and have held in a lot of his pain and really has not grieved properly. I am not making excuses for him, but I am just trying to get a bit of insight. This is totally unlike him. We have been married for 10 years and have been together since we were both 17. He also has a history of prescription drug abuse that started right after his step father passed away, and then, when he stopped taking them he started smoking marijuana. He has been told that he is bipolar, but he did not seek treatment for it. I just am at a loss. I’m worried and can’t sleep. He wants help, and so I am calling around first thing this morning at a few drug treatment facilities to see what can be done. Does anyone know what I can expect? Meaning, how great of a risk is there of relapse since he has been using crack for only 2 weeks? Also, is it normal for me to want to go and kick the man’s aZZ who got him started on crack? Also, I want to turn the man who sold it to him in..is that safe? I’m so worried 🙁
Nicholas, I pray to God that you never have to deal with a loved one addicted to Crack or any other drug. You are a sorry individual for telling me that. He is my husband, I married him for better or for worse. God be with you. Your answer was quite uncalled for.

Meth Addiction – Hell on Earth? (w/ ‘Revive’ an orig. song) – Hell has no hotter place that hell-on-earth. The pictures of these poor souls were taken in 2005, the same year we wrote Revive. How many of them are still alive I wonder? Maybe Hell will afford them some relief or at least a change in venue.
