My husband is a crackhead
Basically, my husband has developed a crack addiction. He was a drinker before we got married and this wasnt a massive problem because he was only a binger however now he has replaced one problem with other. Me and my husband are muslims so any form of substance abuse is a big deal. My brother in law was away for a year with is own addictions and now he has come back on the scene he has devloped this addiction. My husband told me about this at the end of last year and i warned him that if he was to start hanging around with him, his habbits would rub off on him. My husband has a very addictive personality, with everything. Clothes, shoes, life style choices everything, so i was very worried about him getting mixed up with crack. We moved in with his mother as she was poorly so he was unable to drink as she has very strong religous veiws and would be very upset if she saw him drunk, instead now he goes out for hours with my brother in law smoking crack as when he gets in he can conceal been high and isnt making a fool of himself and isnt as obvous like if he was drunk. 7 years ago i was a different person, and my self to had a cociane addiction however, since ive found my faith i have had no problems and have been clean. Therefore, i see the signs and no when hes off his face and he cant lie and cover it up like he can to other people. He spends every penny he has on drugs, lies and sneaks around trying to cover it up. When i try and confrount him he just tells me im making him worse and wont let me speak about it. When i have managed too he tells me he knows hes wrong and he wants to stop. Hes been away for a few weeks on a religous holiday, which i thoigh would make him better, but as soon as he came home he went out and spent £100 in two hours on it. He is in complete deniel, and im worried hes going to end up losing me and everything he has, himself included. I cant let my husband carry on this way but im worried that unless he addmits and wants to change there is nothing i can do.
