      My stbx is also addicted to pain killers and anything else he can get his hands on. We tried so many things but in the end he chose his drugs over us. I hope you find a happier ending and just remember to take care of yourself and your girls first when you're dealing with an addict.

    • Close Codependency

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Working / Worked
      Very helpful to understanding the addict in my life and most importantly to assist me in knowing the steps to detachment & to move away from unhealthy responses on my part.
      CoDA Somewhat Helpful
      I didn't really enjoy the CoDA group I attended maybe six times as the group did not feel as if the members were at all on the same page, same place.
      \"Codependent No More\" Working / Worked
      I am attending NarAnon now & finally have to say I think I've latched onto exactly the right group. I will keep coming back.
    • Close Families & Friends Of Addicts

      Married to an addict (prescription drugs, marijuana), three kids, work f/t, enjoy gardening, hiking, animals, reading, good glass of wine.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Going to start seeing a psychologist (in Dec) after taking a year off from MFCC's which after the initial relief of talk therapy began to feel ineffectual.
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking with trusted friends, and certainly at 12 step programs takes some of the pressure off & it is very satisfying to help others in similiar situations.
