addiction recovery?
Question by Billie W: addiction recovery?
My ex-husband has a drug addiction problem. Has been to numerous of rehabilitation facilities including a christian based one. I would like for us to get back together but he doesn’t seem to want or try to change. One of the things that I and the rehab places have said “Change your mind change your life” When he watches TV he watches stuff that in my opinion doesn’t enhance his mind at all. “Cops” and other programs where they are always busting people for drugs. Just recently one telling how truckers transport marijuana and cocaine. I keep telling him that he doesn’t need to watch stuff like that..that it only puts his mind on the drugs. He seems to think I’m crazy and that it doesn’t, affect him yet he tries to sneak and watch it. Are there any counselors or ex-drug addicts out there that agree with me. Where the mind goes the man follows? I think he should listen to and watch uplifting positive agendas. Thanks for your input.

I am an ex-alcoholic. I have been sober for almost 4 years now. I drank for over thirty years. I did not quit until I seen the damage I was causing to my life-love and property.A person can’t be made to stop taking drugs,or drinking until THEY WANT TO QUIT!!!!He has to hit bottom in his life to maybe have enough of it. Don’t be an enabler by making it easy for him to continue.You have to start giving him tough love.Either he gets help to quit or you maybe have to back off with yourself in the relationship you have with him.
