Meth User - want to quit bad - any sug

Been using Meth for 6 years, first it was recreational, now it is almost a daily thing.  Sad and unfortuate thing is my husband is now deeply addicted as well, however still believes he is in control HE IS NOT.  I want to quit and often can go for a week or more if it is not available.  BUT MY HUSBAND MAKES IT AVAILABLE. Anyway, other than wanting to any suggestions on maybe some added health supplements to help with the physical wd's or limited mental alertness?  Is there a way to detox from home on your own and HOW.  I WANT THIS SO BAD AND NEED THIS FOR ME AND MY TWO BOYS.  Regarding my husband, well, I am just about to turn on that whole thing.  HELP SOMEONE... Please

I was assuming crystal meth, but now not sure if you meant that or methadone?

Crystal meth may be the most mentally addictive drug out there. The physical w/d's are minor compared to opiates, but the mental part of this drug is not even in the same category as opiates. The pyhsical part is always the easiest, it's the mental that is extremely tough I would suggest some type of rehab, but not sure your willing to do that. Meth is a monster to kick and your husband sounds like he is in denial. If he does not want to quit, then how are you going to stay clean?  I wish you the best of luck, life is so much better clean, but we have to fight for it sometimes. Keep posting, this is a great support group and a lot to be learned here. Would you consider rehab? inpatient/outpatient or N/A meetings?

Concious and mental! ABSOLUTELY!!!!  We do not have a dr. of any kind, and I do not know where to start.  I have state medical insurance, so what type of doctor would I solicit for help

Everyone is different when it comes to how they react after coming off such a hard drug such as meth.. My best advice to you, would be to contact a doctor in which both you and your husband trust well enough -- and talk to them about what your options are. I hate to be the one to say this to you, but you need to have a sit down talk with your husband about all of this as well. There's no possible way that you're going to be able to stay on the right track and focus on your sobriety if your partner [in marriage, even] is doing the same drug that you wish to stray from and stay away from for good. Also, have you made the concious decision to quit already?

crystal meth ,right?

if you were able to quit for a week inbetween,scoring more meth........then obviously there is not that bad of physical WD's   or you would REALLY know it. IE: methadone withdrawals..................which would make crystal meth wd's look like a joke
