I was caught in that amphetimine trap years ago. When I didn't have any to take, all I would do is lay on the couch all day.  Had a very hectic life with 4 kids and husband never around.

I started hanging around with some Christians and going to church all the time and getting "happy". The pills just fell by the side.

Guess what I'm saying is maybe he could explain to you why he's taking these in the first place and what kind of things can the both of you change so he won't want to.

I am afraid that until he is ready to, he won't quit. Be supportive. Some are helped just by reading this forum. All of us feel better when we find out that we are not the only one with a problem AND we see others getting free from there problems. The first step is for him to really admit that he has a problem and needs help. Good luck to you. Ask away here. Lots of help here.
