I am AA, he is feeling guilty, all of your effort is great, but he has to do this for HIMSELF. His higher power is needed now. For me, my higher power is everything that is more important than the drug & alcohol. I love my family, myself, my moral values more than drugs or alcochol. It’s that simple.
Part of my recovery is helping others that still suffer from addiction. I would be happy to help in any way that I can.

First the key to your long paragraph is HIS… this is his problem. If you have been to NA you found out that you did not create this problem, but can hurt him by shielding his behaviors and not letting him accept HIS BEHAVIOR.

Ask yourself is this what you want to cope with the rest of your life? Put your children through?

Write down all the things that you want to do with your life… then lite a match to it.. and that’s what your life will be like.

Its funny that he waited until you were engaged before he told you. When you accepted his proposal, you did not have all the facts to make a life long commitment.

RUN … DON’T STOP….. RUN JANE RUN….don’t look back

Question by vérité: Question for atheists?
The famous 12-step program is completely about you and God.

If God is imaginary, why is the 12-step program so widely used and praised?

Quick description:

The twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939. The method was then adapted, and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Emotions Anonymous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-step_program

I never said this was proof of God’s existence. Heck, I’m an atheist.

Read my question – if God is imaginary, why is this so widely used and praised? It looks like at least a couple people gave some insightful answers

Question by confused2471970: Drug Addiction & Cronic Pain?
Been w/this guy 10yrs he had a bad cocaine problem. He moved out 4yrs ago & we’ve been off & on since. He got busted 8mths ago & had no choice(due to probation) but to get clean, attend meetings & all the things that go w/being in recovery. I need advice. Live in pain & be with him or end it.
See..I have a cronic pain. It began as TMJ & after many years got worse now I have osteoarthritis in left jaw joint/bone on bone extremely painful to do anything even eat. For yrs I lived in pain 24/7 cuz I was to scared to ask for help thinking I’d be labeIed a drug seeker. Well in 2005 I sought help & had an MRI the Dr. couldn’t believe I lived with that pain so long. I got put on low doses of narcotics… fast forward to today & a high tolerance. I take 60mg Oxycontin 3xday & (2) 5mg Oxycodone 3xday for breakthrough. I also take Feldene/Zanaflex & Amitriptyine. My pain is now 80% controlled but cuz my man is now off coke he wants me off the narcotics or else it’s over for us. Any advice?
He did say he would be willing to hold my bottle and dish out my meds everyday cuz he is convinced I have an addiction myself. He also says that I’m in denial about my addiction and that I need to wake up and realize this. Honestly though if I stop taking them I will get sick but I think my body is just used to them and it’s tolerance. I don’t take them to get high and don’t wake up with pills on my mind. He says there is no difference between tolerance & addiction. Is that true? I don’t know what to think or do cuz I do love him and want to be with him but I also know I can’t go back to the level of pain I used to live with. I am more scared of the pain than I am about withdrawls if I decide to stop taking them.
I take them as directed but he says he can’t be with anyone who is “using” and either I stop or we stop. He did say that if we stay together & I stay on my meds then he’ll start using coke & crack again. Nice huh? 10yrs down the drain cuz he got busted with drugs. He did not stop cuz he wanted to he was forced to stop. He’d still be doing it had he not gotten busted. I can’t believe he wants me to liv ein pain. He tells me to take Aleve/Advil/Tylenol etc etc and that my pain can’t be that bad that I need such strong meds. I get scripts from 1 Dr & get drug tested constantly so the Dr would know if I was taking more or less than I should. He wants me to give him my bottles so he can see what exactly I take I told him I’d show him the bottles but he wants all the pills in them so he can count them I guess. What the hell I’m 38yr old and being treated like a little kid & a piece of crap just because he’s an addict then I must be one too cuz of the meds I take everyday.

Answer by Lady C
Wow. That’s an extremely high amount of pain meds. If 1 doctor is prescribing you all these, then I say you are fine. The doctors only gives you want is necessary to maintain the pain. You are not a junky and need his permission to take prescribed medication. Unless you are not taking them as prescribed. Why would he want you off narcotics if it is what is prescribed for a legitimate medical reason?
