I've been married to a women 6 yrs my senior for 16 yrs She has never been much for sex but tells me when she was younger  she feels she had a normal sex drive through our marraige her lack of sex drive has always been an issue
there was always one excuse or another she always blamed it on me I have found an answer and fixed everyone of her complaints..  but she always finds  anew one Im no don juan but growing up I never had a women complain. I was injured due to a work related
accident and started finding my Pain meds missing. The wife always complains of one pain or another neck back knee
and always has a drip a couple of time her Doctor gave her Vicoden or narco when she takes them she always has to take atleast 4 at a time to get releif she says she has a high tolorence that why she needs soo many I told her if she needs that many she must abusing other opiates (Herion) she says Im crazy  How can I get her in treatment
without ruining our family and losing our kids

If you are really worried, and really serious about getting her help and you can't get her to do it on her own I have one resource to share. There is something called the Marchman Act. You can have her involuntary hospitalized for assessment.  If they think she needs rehab she will be given the option and strongly advised to stay. But, they can't force her. So, if this is something you'd like to know more about than write to me.
Good luck to you and your family.

Is your wife willing to get some help?  Unless she is ready there isnt anything you can do except get some help for yourself.  I know that doesnt make you feel any better but it is the facts.  Check out some Alanon in your area if you can. Addiction affects the whole family.  Lock up your meds so she doesnt have access to them.  As for the sex thing.......when we are actively using we dont have a sex life.  The pills take that away.  Dont be to hard on yourself in that area.  Most of us here could of cared less about sex during our use.  The pills were our lover......Stick around here as we have others who are not addicts themselves but have loved ones who are and they have some great advice to give..........sara
