My husband is addicted to vicodin. He has been taking them for 5 years. he was addicted to Ecstacy, and someone offered him a vicodin to help with the withdrawal from that. he quit ecstacy over 5 years ago, so i feel like he went from one addiction to another. There are a few different things going on. He is bipolar and is not currently on medication. he has expressed a desire to get off of pills, but he has tried before and failed. He can get very mean, and angry while he is withdrawaling. I love him very much, and i am ready to stand by him through this. We have 2 daughters, 3 and 1. Also i am 6 months pregnant with our son. So i am very concerned about timing. But he feels he is ready. Also, i cannot be there to hold his hand every step of the way because i work full time. he is disabled because of the severity of his bipolar, so he cares for our children with help from his mother. I am concerned about how this is going to affect our kids, and what can i do to make this whole process easier for him? he wants desperately to quit cold turkey, and today (12/6) is going to be day one.
