Hi!  When he is ready to stop, he will.  I would suggest Al Anon for you!  You will get some very good advice there and meet some people who can support you!

Support him getting clean in every way possible!  His doctor might be of help to you.

I think I can describe your husbands state of mind and a way for you to help him. I have gone through a similar situation as the husband. Addicts have strange ways to rationalize their behavior. I knew I had a problem the first time I went through withdrawals from 60mg of percocet a day. I was too embarrassed to tell my wife what was happening when I tried to quit cold turkey. I pretended to have the flue until I would decide that it was better to use drugs so I could feel good enough to work, do my part at home, and have quality time with my wife. I didn't quit until my wife and I agreed that the problems associated with quitting were worth the benefits of being clean. I got help from a doctor, unfortunately my wife was little help. Only addicts truly know addicts.

Smoking Roxies! Geez! Thats nuts..The things people will do these days..Of course an addict is always full of surprises.. Makes me think of Pink Floyd : "Hello,hello,hello,,is there anybody out there?,,can anybody hear me??,,Is There Anybody Home??

He's got to wake up to how this looks from the outside looking in..Until that happens, he will just carry on as if nothing is wrong. I really don't have any suggestion on how to do that. With those type of quantity's, its only a matter of time before the economics of that will begin to put a dent in the picture..Maybe thats what it will take..Some sort of rock bottom issue..Maybe try to touch on the subject with him and see if you can get him to see what he is doing to himself and you. Just maybe he will start to wake up..
