| I always feel so bad when I'm sitting in my house getting ready to turn in knowing that somewhere there is someone hurting so badly. While I've not experienced what you're going through, I can understand how you would feel broken. I would. You and your family will be receiving many prayers tonight and during this time. You know that you will feel those prayers when you need to. And know that this is an awesome opportunity. There are countless success stories to situations such as yours. I wish that I had a personal account of hope to share with you. But I can offer support. And I will pray for support, patience, hope, and understanding for your family and friends and for wisdom and guidance for your therapists and caregivers. God Bless.

| I'm sorry, I do know exactly what you are going through. In what seems like a whole different lifetime ago (about 22 years ago now) when I was just 17 I fell in love (or so I thought) with my high school sweetheart. I got pregnant and we moved in together in his fathers basement. He had had a horrible life with his mother I won't get into all that though. Bottom line was that he was horrible about his drugs and I tried for a long time to get him to stop. To make a long story short...After begging him to stop and telling him that the next ER visit ment my leaving he called me one day from the ER to tell me he had blown holes in his lungs from doing crack. I hung up the phone and left before he even got back. I never saw again and filed for uncontested divorce. He called me one time when our daughter was six and the following year his mother called me to tell me that he had gotten himself into a situation and ended up killing himself. I know I havn't told the story but I totally blame the horror of his life and death on his mother. I also wish every day that I had had it in me to fight harder for him. My advise to you is if you love your husband stick to your guns, don't back down when it comes to pushing him to recover. Best of luck to you both and I will keep you, your husband and children in my thoughts and prayers

| I have been through this with my Son who has been drug free going on 5 years. It was a long hard road that I hope and pray he is never on again. Meth is a nasty addiction that steals your whole life away from you. I wish him the best and he is lucky to have someone like you in his life. My DIL went through pure hell with him. The mood swings are so nasty,which I'm sure you probably have experienced. My Son actually ended up in prison due to his using and it almost killed me,it was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever endured.I actually think worse than losing my Parents. You feel so hopeless. They really have to want it to succeed. Please don't ever be his enabler in this,stay strong. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

| I'm so sorry to see that you're family is going through this difficult time. There will be many of us here on YT holding your husband and you and your children up in prayer. I have not experienced this but I have watched a family member suffer who was addicted to crack. It was not an easy road for her to travel but we all hung in there and supported her. She is now free and living a pretty normal life - but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God and ask Him to keep her safe and drug free. I don't know what's available in your area, but there must be some support groups to help you. And if you attend a church, I hope they will be supportive of your family too. |

| im so sorry you are going through this!! i know its probably so hard..but it will all work out and be ok in the end. its happening for a reason(even though right now, it is so unclear what that reason is!) but stay strong and continue to be a good mama to ur kiddies and everything will pan out how it's supposed to. Just remind yourself that you are helping him and he will be so much happier and healthier once he is clean.. that is not something he can do on his own-so its good that he is in there and getting the right help that he needs!! If he accepts the treatment and gives it his all, he will come out a better husband and father then he was before he went in.. It's all for the best-you are ultimately saving his life by doing this.. not to mention you and your kids as well!! keep your head up and stay strong. i will keep you in my prayers daily-let me know if you need anything!! keep the faith. xo. meg.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I am so sorry that you are going through this right now It is good that he is seeking help though - that is the first step to a better life for you and him both. My sister's husband was addicted to drugs (not meth though) years ago, but he has been clean for about 10 years now. I can tell you from knowing what went on with him, that is a very LONG road and it will be hard, I'm not going to lie about that. The best thing you can possibly do though, is to be there for him, and support him 100%, and that too, will be hard. It sounds like you are already doing that though which is wonderful There were many, many times that my sister almost left her husband, as he bounced back and forth. He would do great for a while - and then he would run into an old friend (who was a user) and he'd be back at it again. The cycle repeated itself for many, many years - but she was with him through it ALL...every step of the way. And even though she thought about it many times, she never gave up on him. Our whole family told her that she was stupid for staying, and that she could make a better life for herself without him, but again, she never gave up. As I said, he has been clean for about 10 years now and their marriage is stronger than ever. They go to church every Sunday and are both very Christian people. He is a better husband and father now that he has ever been. Please try and keep strong, even when times are at their very worst. Your husband needs you more now than you will ever know, even if he may not show it. Have faith in the Lord and believe in your husband with all that you have. Things WILL get better I will be saying a prayer for both of you

| I am so sorry to hear this. I have never dealt with any kind of drug problems, so I have no advice to give. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

| Bless your heart! I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I know somewhat what you are going through as we had to put our son into treatment in his senior year. As far as I know, he hadn't been on meth, but other drugs and alcohol. It was one of the worst times of my life. I was overcome with fear and so scared he wouldn't take the help. For him, it went so well and he is now an addiction counselor at the treatment center where he received help. He has been drug and alcohol free for, I think, 6 years now. I wish there was something I could do for you because I know you're feeling so scared and insecure right now. I will be praying for you and your family. Big hugs to you!
