My husband is cutting back his dope consumption to weekends only and he is very hard to live with right now. His moods swing and, one moment he is his normal self and the next minute he is short tempered and shouting the odds (he does have a lot of work stress). Yesterday he lost it with my son, then stormed out and had a drink in a pub (he doesnt really drink) and when he came back he was all sweet once more. This morning he was so horrible to me, I literally sobbed and sobbed like a baby. It is like I am living with a different person. I know you are all going to tell me to put up with it, thats what married couples do, but just putting it out there right now is helping me alot. Any thoughts are welcome.

My $.02---
The good (or bad) news, is that his consumption will probably be up there where it was before, and it will be 'situation normal' ....Whenever I decided to 'cut back', it would never last for long. Also, if he didn't have stress at work, he'd have to manufacture some.... That's what addicts do.

I agree with your comments, its not the first time he's tried "cutting back" it doesnt normally last for long and pretty soon its back to where it was :(

check out both the detox pamphlet and the pamphlet on cross addiction at www.marijuana-anonymous.org
IT's not suggested to give any intoxicants to an addict, even alcohol, as we have a tendency towards addiction Moodswings are common. Please find some support for yourself, I would suggest Al Anon - I go, even though I also go to MA and AA.

Just wanted to add, I wrote a similar complaint a week or so a go- my husband's doing the exact same thing. He's a total jerk to our son, has no patience with us for anything, basically sits around making snide comments and is totally unapologetic about it all. He's going on week 4 of 'cutting down' to weekends only and he's basically bitter at me for finally putting my foot down (after 14 years, 10 married). Yesterday I tried to talk to him- told him I feel very far apart from him right now but that it's cool if he's gotta get some of this out, that I would deal with it, but that I was hoping he'd be back to his sweet self at some point? He said he didn't want to talk about it. Again, not like him to be so cold... this sucks!

Withdrawal is tough. Hard to say who it is tougher on - the user or the co-dependent. And considering that he has not completely quit and you know his use will just escalate again, it's not even worthwhile in the long run. ~~~hugs~~~
