I found out that my husband was using herion again. I found out the other day that he was using when we went to the emergency room. He has been going to the meeting yesterday is when he started. I am hanging in there. I going to try and go to my meeting for face to face tonight. He is now taking a drug to help him get off the drug under the supervision of the doctor who will be watching him.

Hey everyone watch me grow. I go thru good & bad times. each day i am getting stronger.
nycbt, I can feel your pain. It seems that it doesn't matter how long we have been in program when they start using again it sends us on a whirlwind.
I am dealing with a son who is using so my situation is a little different but the actions and reactions are pretty much the same. All I can do is take care of myself, set some hard fast boundaries, talk to my sponsor, pray a LOT, go to as many f2f meetings as I can find and live today for today. When things get hard for me I go to any meeting I can, it pretty much doesn't matter whether it is Al-Anon, Naranon, open NA or AA meetings. I have yet to come away from one without taking something with me that has helped me.

I so fear that. My wife seems like shes doing good in recovery (6 months). Im still scared. She had a prescription for pain pills and I was supposed to be in charge of them but I either hid them too good from myself cause I cant find them or someone stole them. I am not really worrying about it but I wasnt thinking she was relapsing the last time she went coo coo. We're sitting in marriage counseling and I find out later she was looped and doesnt really remember much from our marriage counseling sessions. It wasnt until she hit the bottle that it became real even though she needed a 2 week detox from opiates. At least I know I can live through it especially with the alanon support.
Sorry hun, I know how that is to think it's all better and then for me I just felt like an idiot, how could I not see it, etc. Heroin is awful! Just the stigma associated with the needles and all and potential for HIV etc. I'm sorry I hope you make it through this ok. I couldn't take anymore, I had to get off the roller coaster. My a went to treatment for heroin and alcohol at least 4 or 5 times I think and I finally had to decide that he was never going to get better and if he does it's a happy surprise. I really do feel for you, I have SO been there!
Aww... I hate when that happens. They try so hard, and it hurts them as well as us. Here's hoping that this relapse is short lived and he finds his way back. Keeping you and hubby in my prayers.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

((((ny)))) your in my thoughts always... i'm sending prayers for ((you and for your hubby)))..for him to remain strong in his recovery. Prayers to pull him through and keep him. show him he is continued in the "able" to move forward from this. Please to allow our hearts to forgive. to remember that, all of us, we are only human. we, all of us , do make mistakes we do have times of weakness and confusion. I want most of all for you to stay with your own recovery (if not here... please to go and) spend time alone with your mindset in support of alanon. i miss seeing you in and out of the rooms.
Stay Strong and Keep the Faith. So many here love and want the best for you in life. I soo much., love yas.
