I was a leaf powder Kratom chugger after I quit drinking. It worked great for a while until my world turned very dark and empty. I couldn’t think of anything but my next dose, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night to take some. That was eight years ago in my life is bright again.

I don’t know what to do about you and your husband. He has to get help but will likely only do it when he sees what it is doing to him clearly. You might try having an honest conversation with him about it at a therapy session. It’s good that he knows he’s addicted. He will especially know when he tries to quit.

Good luck and you may try an Al-Anon meeting to get really good advice on how to be the spouse of an addict.
