Folks, I am starting this thread which will be complimentary to the one I just started in Opiate Detox Family and Friends.

My husband recently overcame addition to lortab, but used alcohol as a substitute. He just about got off, now he is back on alcohol again. I am really really concerned.

What can I do to get him to not think about this substance abuse stuff and get back to reality - going to work, being responsible, etc??? All I know how to do is lay it on the line and say "Get it together, man."

I feel like I am working all the time and he does nothing but fish and drink and play.

He is a lot of help with the little one, but still, I have to be realistic.

I am so tired of it.

No! You are not alone. My husband has been dealing with alcohol abuse for several years now. He just entered a treatment program Monday. For along time he has dealt with work issues and I have been the one to work while he tried to figure things out. He too had a period of time where he seemed to just play around.

He finally decided to confront his issues of depression and alcohol abuse and is in the facility.

I am so relieved for him to go for many reasons. My patience meter was totally pegged!

Good Luck!
