Hi, I've just taken a brief look at the site after phoning the info line. My husband took speed for 7 yrs and has been living without drugs now for 16 mths, however, he has started drinking quite heavily, has had an affair and is emotionally empty. I need to learn about the recovery process. Where do I start?

Hi Maria, Things are going well, I haven't relapsed, though have been moody, and going to bed when I get home from work frequently as a way of getting through. I start my new job next week, and am honestly looking to this as the start of a new chapter in my life. I can't wait. I've had the odd cigarette when the urge was too strong, but I normally end up butting it out shortly after because I dislike them with a passion, and feel ultra guilty (for my kids, they'd freak if they knew), and find it doesn't abate the urge anyway. No matter what, theres no easy way, but the more I research & the longer I go without it, it seems to be getting better, and yes, I'm starting to see the benefits for me, having those close to me happy is a benefit in itself. Thanks for your words of kindness & support.

Hi Jose, Firstly I would like to apologise for calling you Josh. How are you going? Making a change is not easy but it can be done. I know from my own experiences. I, myself have had to make so many dratic changes, especially in my attitudes over the years to able to keep me stay sain and my family together. The changes have had a lot of positive effects on me, especially I can stay sain, calm and reasonably happy regardless of what is going on around me. take care.

Hi josh, Thanks for sharing your story. I have children are now on methadone and work. We able to manage some peace for over a year now. We laugh, we talk and ofcourse we argue sometimes but we do not have the stress that we had for over the last 8 years. I think because we get our trust back - not 100% but 80%. I don't panic if I forgot to put valuable things lying around. My children able to buy cloth or what they want from their own earning, eventhough they still have some debt to pay off. I don't jump when there is a knock on our door (thinking that it may be police). we able to go away without TOO MUCH worry. Our children also trust us that we will not open their mail or look through their room for a sign of drug use. Jose, you may do it for someone else, but I am sure you see that you also gain some benefit as well. You said the pot help you with your artistic gift. I think you always have had the gift anyhow. I am hopeless at art and would love to have artistic mind. Do you think if I start to smoke pot, would that help? Anyhow, think of good things that happen to you if you do not rely on drug/s and think of the stress that you have had when you rely on them but cannot get them. Good luck.

Hi Jose, That is amazing, my husband smokes and the things that you have says are his arguments constantly. However he has been offered a job and refuses to take it because he doesn't want to give up. I think you are very strong for doing it and for the first time in your life you are probably able to see both sides of the story. My husband can't or just refuses to. I also thankyou because as my husband is stoned alot to try and get him to talk about it is impossible. As a person who doesn't smoke and never will i find it difficult to grasp the concept of it. And with my husband not willing to talk about it i get very frustrated sometimes. I have all faith in you, believe in yourself, trust yourself even more and love life without the shadow of pot over your head. Good luck with it you are on the right path.

Hi All, I'm 33 years old, and have been smoking marijuana daily since I was 15. I have experimented with other drugs, but am only comfortable with marijuana, and have only resorted to other drugs if I couldn't get pot. I have a dear loving wife, and three beautiful children (my wife doesn't smoke and never has/will, but has let me be, and I limit exposing her to it in many ways), and hold a high level job and do it well. I love to smoke pot, and enjoy the way it expands my mind when listening to music, or feeling artistically creative, or need to think laterally, or relax. Most people wouldn't believe me. I know I have a problem, and have done so for a long time, yet, due to my love for it, have never been able to quit. Marijuana is very addictive to me, and has ruled most areas of my life during my time with it. Recently I applied for a new job, and was suprised to discover a pre-employment drug test, which I obviously failed. This has been a big turning point in my life, and for the first time since I was 15 have abstained now for over 3 weeks, which for me is unbelievable. Luckily, due to my credentials and other skills have been given another opportunity, have been able to pass a subsequent test, and know I will be tested frequently in the future, so if I want the job, and I definately do, I can see myself stopping for the first time ever. I'm sorry to see the affect someone like me has on their family, and how many of you suffer in many ways due to having someone close to you drug affected. Every day is a battle, and it's easy for others to say, "just stop" without realising how hard it is, and the sense of loss of a part of me it has, I don't remember my life without it, and am unsure how I'd be without it in the future, though am trying. I just wanted to show another side to this issue that some people may not have seen before. In summary, I crave the thought of going back daily, but am trying my hardest to overcome this for my job, my wife, my kids, even my mum, but at this stage I don't feel like I'm doing it for me, becasue if I had it my way I wouldn't stop, which is the biggest issue I face.

It sounds like she is not ready to admits she needs help? you know your daughter better than anyone tricia.my sons drug of choice is heroin, he has spanned a decade with that choice. We have taken him for a implant which worked for a while, a bad choice with a girlfriend sent him spirling down the road of goodness knows what drug now. Do you have support kathy and tricia? its so important to look after yourselfs as well. Ive just joined fds.

Hi everyone my name is Kathy. My partner of 14 years has been smoking marijuana since before I met him. It has been a major problem in our relationship since 1997 when I was pregnant with our 1st son, back then I pleaded for him to cut down and quit before he was born. Now we have 3 sons and even though I love him very much, I dont know how much more I can take. We had a huge row last week as before he said he was quitting 3 weeks ago and I found some, in my frustration I threw his bong and his dope at them both and asked him to leave mind you we live with his mum who for the past 14 years has done not much to help in this case. He always turns things back on to me, the new thing is even though I am home everyday, or at doctors appointments as our middle child has just been diagnosed Epileptic, apparently I am having an affair with an Ex boyfriend. Our eldest son knows what is going on now, and says he doesnt believe his father will change. My partner has just signed up for help thru his work and must complete counselling and have a clear blood test and that is on going to show he is drug free. He has just stepped out and I went to look in hs shed I didnt find a bong but did find a pipe and can see it has been used recently. I just feel so torn as I love him, and I have tried to leave him several times but he wont leave me be and constantly follows me. I just so want to make the right choice for my kids, but also want to see if the help he is getting will help as he has never taken it to this step before. Also I think this site is great for information, Thank you for a great site. Best wishes to all Kathy
