[QUOTE="wastedpotential, post: 502131, member: 13601"] I have asked him about his pot use and he said that it makes him feel good and that he knows he has issues but he is not ready to deal with them and would rather continue to numb himself and self medicate than face his issues and work on them. I haven't asked him about the cocaine and other stuff, but I think I will. I'm going to ask him why, if pot is his 'drug of choice' (according to him during a conversation we had years ago), did he choose to step it up to the next level. I'm curious as to what his response will be. He is covered under husband's health insurance and he will not go to therapy or treatment. When I found out about the cocaine I told him that he needed treatment and he was 'very insulted'. He also said that he feels very unaccepted by his family and I said, 'You are a drug addict and that will never be acceptable to me.' He has lost job after job so yes, it's simply a matter of time until he loses this one. I'm going to work on having a conversation with him...it's been awhile. Not that it will help but here I am doing nothing so WTH. Thanks for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
