need it?

She must have a reason for asking you to do so. Many times, those with a drug or alcohol problem are the last to know. It clouds your judgment and makes you think you are in control, when you are anything BUT in control. Drugs lie to you.
Give your wife some credit and explore the possibility that you DO need help. I don't know...maybe you don't. You will find that out if you give counseling a try. Many times, a loved one of an addict feels that threatening with losing them is the only option they have of waking you up to your problem.
God bless you and your wife. You may be in for a tough ride with this one but you can come through it if you try hard enough.

If she's serious, then she must have a reason. I would at least look into it and make sure both you & she are making a fair assessment of your situation.
If you are doing drugs and 'think you don't need it', then it's safe to say you may have a problem. If you don't want to stop doing drugs, treatment won't help you. If that's the case, tell her & let her go. Because you obviously love the drugs more than you love her.

I'm married and I have a drug problem..... The only way the treatment will work is if you are doing it for yourself and not anyone else..... It sounds like (if you do have a problem) you are not ready to quite...... First step is to say I HAVE A PROBLEM..... until than you will lose your wife..... but if you want the help do it for you and every thing else will come together

I'd immediately find a professional third party person - minister, priest, counselor - and take my wife to a few sessions. To get it clear whether or not I need drug treatment, the professional's office would be a good place to hash it out with my wife.

Why would ur wife tell u that if u didn't need it?? I'm sure she sees something that u might not see. Talk w/ ur wife, tell her how u feel, and listen to what she has to say. Plus do u care more for ur marriage or a drug problem that u might or might not have!!

yes i would, i would because even if you dont think you need it obveously she thinks you do so it would make her happy and if you do the treatment and then it will create a better trust that you wife has for you if it turns out you dont do drugs and and she will feel she can trust you a lot more

Well, if your wife is telling you this then you probably do need some help. Unfortunately, until you are ready to get help there is really nothing she can do to force you. Even if you go; if you aren't ready then you won't get well. Look into the stages of change and see where you fit.

Emery,
Sound like your wife should leave since you do not want to stop taking drugs. So, either get it together or live alone.

Trust me, you need it. If you are doing drugs at all, you need to get treatment. It will only get worse and ruin your life. It could kill you.
