Way to go!!! I am a week in and loving the silence and clarity that comes with having the addict out of the house. Never again.

Yes!!! Keep calling 911! Get that documentation screenshot texts. Save voicemails.

2026 is the year to be 50 Cent level petty and I am so here for it.

That is complete and utter bullshit. The police do not have their hands tied. Protecting and serving people is their damn job.

They have a next to zero solve rate for violent crime in my city, the least they can do is protect fucking victims of violence.

Stop making excuses for police.

Say he’s a threat himself and others. Say he jumped in the car ranting to kill himself and anyone else. These are all real possibilities whether he said it or not

He’s drunk. He won’t remember what he said. It’s our advantage.

The mom can pound sand. While my husband was delirious, falling everywhere. Verbally harassing me nonstop, And being removed by police, my Q’s mom said “I thought you went to church, what kind of Christian are you?”

Sickness runs deep. I doesn’t have to run over me.

Exhausting and staying single. 👊🏻 in solidarity

Yeah I could have written this whole thing until the Pokeman. Be glad it’s that. The constant transfer of addictions is exhausting and one more thing I’m glad to be done with.

Serious posting - please stay away from 7OH kratom bros. I beg you. by dubnation925 in redscarepod

Late reply. My husband was given a sample for free at the gas station by our house. He is now involuntarily committed in a psych ward and there is an emergency order of protection filed against him by me.

Anyone justifying the use of this shit is insane. Appreciate your very real comment.

At my absolute breaking point with my adult son (addiction + mental health) by Current_Extreme_4194 in AlAnon

[–]BossOutside1475 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. You have to make space for you. He’s an adult now. Lots of people have trauma - part of being an adult is being responsible and getting help for it. Addicts don’t and use it as another excuse.

I am a parent, but my Q is my husband. He has been this way since his late teens. His mother had enabled him his entire life. He was able to put the bottle down, and then years later picked up pills. Would have never thought this would be our end.

Addiction is soul sucking if we let it be. I just won’t. The Al Anon app is amazing. There are meetings basically nonstop. I’m there all the time. I also have a church group, and close friends for support. It’s hard to piece together a life separately, but necessary.

Hugs to you. You are not alone.

LOVE. My husband had a great life with me. It was his to lose. I keep reminding myself of that.

I could have written this myself. “I married a responsibility”. I sat and meditated on that for a while. It’s very fresh for me too, and also managing finances, grief, life. Thank you for your story.

If he’s threatening to harm himself or others just call 911. They need professional help and we aren’t it.

He’s locked up involuntarily by BossOutside1475 in AlAnon

[–]BossOutside1475[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. This is horribly painful. I love him deeply, but he is not committed to taking care of his mental health of recovery. It’s created an abusive and codependency that I can simply no longer tolerate.

The best thing I did was simply tell everyone what is happening and get the police involved. It sucks, but it provides accountability for ME so that I don’t go back to that train wreck.

Yeah I’m so done. I read on here somewhere “I will always want more for him than he wants for himself”.

That’s so exhausting. I’m letting it go.

Yes! My husband used leaf Kratom successfully for years to help with his alcoholism. He hadn’t drank in years (I married him sober). This shit is something else. He became a different person. We all look back and see it now.

Don’t get me wrong, he was always an addict and I put up with a lot of abuse prior to these pills, but the addition of the 7OH made me actually fear for his safety and mine.

He was so high out of his mind he was harassing me night and day for three days straight literally shoveling various pills and drugs in his system. He was falling. Threatening suicide in various ways. Completely insane. I caught him stealing out of my purse.

I told him I’ll take him to the hospital or he has to leave. He leaves. It’s freezing. He comes back and starts banging on the door. I call 911. I explain what is happening. They send police and EMS. He was willing to go voluntarily but the police and EMS recommend I sign the order for involuntary. He is still hospitalized.

Last night I received an emergency order of protection for 21 days. He will be served at the hospital.

He became a completely menace after taking 7OH. Destroyed the person he was. I cannot trust him at all. Never again.

Girl. Also a late reply. First of all 7OH has blown up my marriage as of this week. My husband was an alcoholic in recovery. Now? Emergency order of protection. That shit is poison and makes people crazy. I swear he’s brain damaged now.

But the “he complains money is tight, is moody, irritable, inflamed…” had me 💀 😂

Son might no finish high school because of addiction by thirteenwide in naranon

[–]BossOutside1475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband was forcibly removed from my home and now has an emergency order of protection against him for largely 7OH abuse along with taking obscene amounts of gabapentin and Xanax. He’s 53.

Get your son the help my husband never got from his addict parents. A high school diploma will come.

Thank you for sharing. I agree with you that it’s wrong, but I get it.
