[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751194, member: 24254"] Terri, I also attend AA and got my start in sobriety 28 years ago in NA . I have never seen anyone addicted to opioids quit by themselves successfully long-term. The hallmarks of addiction are irritability, discontentment, and restlessness . Of course, these characteristics also apply to other mental health issues . And you are very right: unless he admits to having a problem , he cannot get help and nobody can help him. I would strongly suggest that you attend Al-anon meetings to get help for yourself . As the kids get older, you may want to consider Alateen for them. These are meetings for family members of Alcoholics/addicts designed to help the family members who have been affected by someone else's addiction problems. [/QUOTE]
