you can't help him unless he wants to help himself. you need to take care of yourself and don't get pulled into the vortex. you need to take care of #1 and any kids in the picture. keep your chinup and if things get to bad get professional help. believe me it helps you see the light at the end of the tunnel!

after being seperated for that long,it's clear that the drugs take precedence over anything else.your marriage is over but if you want to help him....as a friend....that may help you also.tough thing is you will just have to get over him.realize the failure was not your fault.since you are young there is a lot to look forward to,,,,just dont look back.unfortunately tough love doesnt always work.

Its tough as drugs become the only thing that matters to an addict, for
your sake try to find a program for spouses and families of drug addicts,
they can offer you the true advise you need and the support to help you
get your life back on track. Check with narcotics anonymous for family
programs...good luck

I recommend that you go to a support group, such as alinon. It is specifically for family members and significant.

You can't help him unless he wants to help himself. You have to walk away and stay away, let him hit the bottom because until he does and he starts to help himself there is nothing that can be done

Been there done that, you cannot make someone change that doesnt want to change, no point in trying, He will need to learn on his own and make the decision for himself, It will hurt for sometime but good will come out of it in the long run.
