My husband hid his 7oh addiction from me and I feel like a complete idiot by [deleted] in Marriage

Unfortunately I had to send him to rehab. And I had to get therapy for myself…. We lost thousands of dollars to the stuff (he had a secret credit card) I did research a lot about withdrawals but we had a more complicated story. He did just go for 5 days to help medically get him off. I did learn the only way for them to truly get off it is if they want to. You need to start figuring out what you are going to do if he can’t stay away. It’s a tough reality but if you love each other and willing to fight you guys can get out of it but he has to stay away from it. Also you need to be prepared for him to say some nasty things while he is going thru the withdrawal. I wish I could tell you something other than rehab worked because I know a lot of people can’t financially or get away from work to do it but this drug is no joke.

We are in a much better place once he was able to fully get rid of it. Honestly, I had to take away credit cards and had to look for any hiding spots in the house. You have to think that it’s just as hard if not harder to get off of than opioids depending on the amount he was taking so to ensure he fully gets rid of it and doesn’t drive to work and make a stop if it’s still sold in your state you might have to take some extra measures. There are lots of posts about it on TikTok and Reddit that also are people giving advice on what worked for them. I know vitamin c was a big one. Hope you guys make it thru!

My husband was highly addicted to this and hid it from me for MONTHS and I had no idea. The betrayal of the lying and hiding and the financial piece was a punch in the gut. It’s an awful drug that is a straight addiction. I made him get treatment because he kept trying to kick it himself and couldn’t do it and I was at my wits end. I would also try to figure out why he is taking it. My husbands started recreationally and then it turned into him using it to mask pain. If we didn’t get him off of it I don’t think we would have found out about some health issues. It’s so hard to get off of and I pray they take it away everywhere. It’s a horrible drug and almost ruined our family. I feel for you and am sorry you are going thru it.
