Crack
My husband uses crack. He also drinks frequently and smokes marijuana (daily). He has been using crack for about two years. He has admitted he has a problem. But he soesn't stop using. He's gone for a month and then went back. We seperated over his addiction(s) and he seemed to be getting better after getting much worse. So we are back together now since Spetember and he was using about once a month. Now it's every time he has the money to do it.
He says he wants to quit and that he has no controlover himself. I thought that admitting you have a problemis the first step to recovery? He doesn't do anything to help himself stop. His latest idea as to how he is going to quit is he's not going to work. So if he has no money then he has no access to the drug. Can this approach work, if he is sincere in his desire to stop? Or is it a way of manipulating me so he can continue but also keep his family?
And once they stop, like for years, I understand they may still get the cravings for it. So does it ever end? Can someone really get off of it forever?

i read your comment as to rather he is smoking or sniffing. To answer the question, he is smoking. Trust me I have been there. The staying out the excuses the attitude. It makes U feel like you are walking on egg shells. Losing the jobs, or in my case he quit good jobs. Then he makes it seem like everything is your fault. you try to do everything to please him. His friends you are never going to meet cause he is afaid that they will tell you what is really going on. When looks sad and says nothing is wrong, he is feening for the drug. He get mad when you ask if he uses crack cause he doesnt want you to think of him as less than a man. My husband cooks and cleans like it nobodys business. Yes, he cheats. The excuse I got is that this girl is his "Buddy". Next thing I know I get a 14 page letter she sent when she was locked up. He had a Cadillac, that got repoed and he rode around with these prostitutes and lied and said he never been with any of them. LIES, LIES LIES. Everything you described I can relate to. Craack is no joke. They will do any and everything to get it. Pray real hard. Pray hard. May God bless.
