He will be 60 days clean when he gets out. He is living at the treatment facility and will be out next week. Im really scared for when he gets back. Im afraid that he will get back into it. He has no friends that are into this. My main concern is the city we live in. It is so easy to get. I know he still has the dealers numbers. I have a good job, my kids are settled in this city. If he goes back to it ? Should i move to a small town. ? Or different city. Im thinking he should have enough will power to say no. Now that he had rehab. Im just confused. I hope he never goes back to it. Do you think that moving to another city will help him ?? It won't be that easy for him to find drugs. Or shall i continue living here ?

Moving could help but if he is determined to get drugs he will find a way to find them. Crackheads are VERY resourceful.
My advice: sit your husband down and respectfully explain to him what your fears are. He just might be feeling the same fears and the two of you together can strategize ways for him to avoid getting back into drugs.
Also, worse case scenario: your husband gets back on drugs. Be prepared to leave him alone with his demons. You and your children deserve a good life and putting up with a drug addicted husband/father will ruin it.

first off my heart goes out to you and your family because this must be hard for you to handle. You have to believe in your heart that he is going to come out of this on top. If you start preparing for his downfall then he will pick up on that and fall right into where he was before. Give him a chance. Help to keep his mind occupied and try to do a lot of family things when he gets home. It is going to be hard to settle back into regular routine again and you have got to make sure that he is not hanging with the same people all over again. If he really wants to make this work, he will. If not, you will know early on because you now know what to look for. Don't stick around for the next downfall. You have kids to think about. You can't run away from the problems either so moving to another city is not going to help. Drugs unfortunately are everywhere!! Good Luck....

It does not matter where you live, a major city or a rural area. Drugs are readily available everywhere. You need to get your self some materials regarding drug addiction. Educate yourself on the disease in order for you to better understand what he is going through and dealing with. And be very aware that relapse is a very common occurrence within the first year of recovery. Getting sober and staying sober is a difficult process. However it is obtainable. You may even consider speaking with a drug and alcohol counselor. The more you know the better you will understand and the more helpful you will be. I wish you and your husband the best of luck, I will keep you in my prayers. God bless****

He absolutely hasn't reached "backside" but. He would possibly need to get to the factor in which there may be nowhere to head however up. But on the grounds that you do not wish to listen to the phrases Rehab, Detox or NA might be you must feel approximately the phrase "loss of life". If your husband maintains training his dependancy, this can be a very truly likelihood. I could advocate making an attempt Rehabs and NA for as routinely because it takes. I was once addicted for 25 years and it took me 10 extra years of seeking to get blank earlier than I honestly "obtained it". I thank god for Rehabs and NA everyday.

Where ever you move there will always be access to drugs... I think I would just make sure that he stays busy, and your family is going to have to adjust having him back, make sure the only number he has is to his counselors and emergency numbers for when he feels the urge.... and just keep monitoring him and make sure the house is clean of any type of drugs which you problaly went thru some type of counseling yourself to know all this but just things one day at a time and good luck....

You might concider moving and get rid of those numbers he has. Trust me it will be hard on him I use to use for 6 years been clean over 2 years now but it still pops in my head but I moves away and prayed everynight as I still do. If you stay in the town and he has numbers he will go back. Get him away as fast as you can. And destroy the numbers. And tell him if he ever slips you are gone as you can't deal with it no more that you stood beside him this time but never again. Its to hard on you and the kids. But MOVE

Drugs are everywhere. If he can't control himself where you are, he'll find drugs wherever you go. Give him a chance. Hopefully he's got it under control.
