Often, the loved ones cannot understand the reasons their loved one is addicted, and consequentially doesn’t know how to help; while those addicted often feel as though there is no way out. Addictions can be incredibly difficult to overcome but it is possible; learning how to deal with it is the first step to overcoming it.

My husband is addicted now to the world. Three yeras ago I thought we were happily married with two kids and a nice home. My husband lost his job and then he went into a deep depression and started hangin out all night sometimes not even coming home. I found out later he had an affair, thne his mother died and he went deeper in depression, we lost our home,then he was arrested for having a bottle of unperscription pills. It just seem we can not get pass all of this becuase everytime we try something comes back to haunt us . Now he has to do sheriffs work project and this is keeping him from finding a job and he still stays out he says he tries to keep money in the family but I just want our normal life back
My husband is an alcoholic. He was laid off 1.5 years ago. He is a elementary school teacher. His mother died, he stopped drinking, then relapsed and then moved out. We are seperated and it has been very difficult. He does not seem to know what he wants. He is still drinking and attends AA but now that we are seperated I do not feel like I even know him…I would like to have our marriage back. Our kids are all grown and moved out and then he moved out…
