But Im not sure if he understands that... not to mention how lost I would be...so any info will help thank you Deb

Rehab will help him soooo much, that is if he is sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Can you get him to go to an NA or AA meeting this weekend, maybe seeing that he is not alone in this will help

Nice to meet you! Welcome to the board!

I spent about 3 or 4 months in a daily outpatient program, i also went inpatient for about a month. I had an IV cocaine addiction, and I have 5+ months clean.

It can be done! I was helpless and hopeless last year at this time, lying, cheating, stealing and pawning things.

Brent you hang in there sweetie! We are here for you and your wife!

Depression is an awful thing...Im sooo glad your getting him help. He is a very, very nice guy here and has made progress...I think he will maintain it as soon as he gets some help.

He has alot to live for and Im wondering, do you have any safety nets in place Deb? Do you have help or any way to get thru this with brent this weekend? Anyone to maybe take the kids?

I agree with Wendy, if you can get some help with the kids, maybe go to a meeting with him, that may help.

Most of all be supportive and loving...that's how my husband was...he brought me through my darkest days.

Please tell Brent that we are praying for your whole family... I agree, he should try to get into a meeting this weekend if at all possible, please go with him, it will do you both some good. Tell Brent to hang in there for all of us and you and your family too...You are a good woman to stand by him through all of this and I commend you.

Hi Brent's wife. Is Brent there with you? Can you tell him something for me? Tell him that this is Jodi. I think I'm the first one that ever talked to him on here. I talked to him on a thread about suicide. Please just remind him what I first told him....as long as you are still breathing, there is hope . That is what I have to tell myself every day. Please just tell him that so many people are pulling for him and that I think he is very brave for going into detox and making the progress he has made. I know how much he loves you and his kids. That is all he talks about and I believe that is his reason that he continues to try and fight this awful addiction. We all know how he feels. God bless you and be with you tonight Brent.
