My husband is addicted to percocet. I first found out last May of 2013 he came to me with this saying he wanted to stop ...... I was so blindsided by this I never saw it coming .....I sat here while he detoxed and I know it was hell for him but it was hell for me as well to see ...
I don't feel bad for the physical symptoms of withdrawal ..... I'm sorry but I have been very sick in life and I have gotten through it because there weren't things to ease the pain ..... There are millions of people suffering every day so I'm sorry if I lack sympathy for a self inflicted illness and we were under doctors supervision......
He got off them then about three months later I started to notice little similar signs and started to suspect but couldn't bring myself to confront for fear that if he really wasn't I didn't want to insult him.... (What stupidity ) so that was back in October ...
Now here we are January of 2014 and signs start popping up again and I know my gut was dead on (Scorpio intuition) and finally told him last night I knew .... He was totally honest and admitted ... He said he wanted help again like in the past but after the detox period is over he feels he doesn't need professional help. This time I don't want to go through this again he is trying to turn it around and say see this is why I don't tell you anything and I said don't turn this on me.
I guess my question is how can I save my marriage and my mind .. We have been married for 17 years and he was completely sober from alcohol and any substance for six years prior to this . He tries to have an occasional beer and claims it doesn't agree with him which is fine by me because I definitely don't want that too however I know he is trying to substitute one drug for another which is a red flag ....
So all this being said how can I save me and our marriage I love my husband so much?

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
