We've been together since tenth grade we got married after we graduated. I'm in college now and he's working. Its been hard since the start first my parents hated him cause he was in a gang and used to be in gangs in mexico and they didnt like him cause he is mexican the didnt like his tattoos. Then because of his past , using drugs at a young age and seeing his parents get killed when he was 9 he was very crazy he would hit me we would fight he almost killed me twice . Plus all the times he went to jail.But hes changed he tells me he loves me all the time we are so happy he is everything to me. And now he has changed and he hasnt hit me in years hes not in any gang anymore he is really responsible but the only thing is its hard for him to quit using drugs. He has withdrawals gets sick and I dont know what to do. One night he was so sick I made him take some cause I hate seeing him like that. So what should he do to help him quit he is 24 and has been using cocaine weed since he was 10 crack and pills since he was 15 and he did heroin before and he dont won't to go to rehab he thinks he can do it on his own. Any advice?

If you guys are married, then you are stuck with him for life. You have to get him to rehab and make sure that he gets well from it. That's what a marriage takes. You have to be there as a supportive wife, because the second you married him his problems became your problems too. That is love

He is a druggie.

And he will be until he decides to find the emotional courage to face his inner problems as a sober person .. right now he uses drugs to escape from his inner pain and fear.

Most likely, he will not change.

He thinks he can do it on his own .. this is because if he goes into rehab, then he will have to face his inner problems, and he's afraid to do that.

And his unwillingness to go into rehab is all the proof you need that he will NOT quit using drugs.



All you do by staying with him is help him stay ON drugs.



Get out and forget hi. Get a divorce.

He's a loser, and every day you waste with him makes you more of a loser like him. Tell him he either gets himself into rehab or you're gone. Be prepared to follow through.

My cousin was hooked bad on meth, we locked him in a room with a bed for almost a week, with his permission of course, we helped him detox and it was horrible, he was so sick and angry and pitiful. After 7 1/2 days he was detoxed then he started going to meetings, someone was with him for about 2 weeks none stop. Then he felt secure in himself to be left alone. He was clean for 2 years. He should have gone to rehab but he relapsed and ended up I jail.

Miss you knew him beforehand that he was a junky and gang member, the issue is that you like what wemen call bad boys, in the past good men aproach you and you rejected them why because they were nice guy.



If you leave this guy you will end up with another bad boy as you like, so suck it u and enjoy your junky hubby.
