My Fiance is an alchoholic and also addicted to pain medication. He is 45 yrs old and has had this addiction for almost 20 yrs, he has liver problems already and i am not ready to yet let him go nor give up on him. We had him placed him in a local detox by filing a report stating we feared for his life, after he lost his generel manager job of result of alcohol. He was there for a week, and that is all that is offered unless you have insurance, which we do not. He knows he has a problem and he admitts it but he truely needs help, please. He has had a tramatic childhood and his state of mind isnt always the clearest especially when intoxicated. From the time he wakes up till the time he goes to bed he is drinking and abusing pills, he also doesnt eat right he has lost so much weight. I myself is a recovering addict i was addicted to prescription pills but i went to a suboxin clinic and have been clean for 2 yrs. and counting, but i fear that i can no longer stay with john if he continues to use it is just to much of a strain, and honestly i do not want to have to leave him i want to help him so very much. If you can offer anything or even advise please please email me i will be awaiting your email i just dont know what else to do i am running out of options other then to cut ties and i fear that i appriciate your time you took to read this thank you .

It's just chemicals screw the whole picture that real life is what you miss the most in the end after trying so hard to escape it. It may never come back, certainly not the way it was before. But you can get your life back when you finally leave the heartache behind and re-invent yourself for who you are and not what the drugs made you. accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference Fkin lot of wisdom in those words. “For the Girlfriends and Wifes” I feel for you man.

It may never come back, certainly not the way it was before. But you can get your life back when you finally leave the heartache behind and re-invent yourself for who you are and not what the drugs made you.

accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference

Fkin lot of wisdom in those words.
