I am tired of meeting low life people on crack who want nothing more than my money for crack cocaine. What are some ways people have tried that work to get others off of this drug?

There is no way you can get others off the drug. They have to want to quit or nothing will really work. Most need to hit rock bottom before they will even admit that they have a problem.
Once they are willing to admit that they want off the drug, professional help is needed. They cannot break this addiction on their own. Crack is the most addictive illegal drug in existance They will need admittance to a rehab so that they have medical as well as psychological help while they detox. Withdrawal from crack can lead to death...medical intervention is essential.

Crack, cocaine is one of the hardest addictions to kick the habbit, and when a person is exposed to it no matter how much the little angel on their shoulder tells them NO, it's so much easier to give into the temptation of it. Are his binges putting you in financial difficulty? Over time it will. I know you don't want to be the nagging wife but your concern is genuine and you have every right to worry about his falling off the wagon, especially with a new baby on the way. If he truly wants to kick the habit it's not impossible. Ask him if he wants his family or if he wants his habit more. If he wants his family, ask him to take the money that he uses for his coke and apply it to treatments. If you don't forsee him trading one for the other tell him you can't or won't let the baby be exposed to it. It's not fair to any of you. Ultimatums are hard and should not be placed in a relationship but there are times when it is necessary to put you foot down for the best interest of everyone directly involved. Show him you want to support him and not rule him but he has to show you he can and wants to meet you half way. When he says "i'm trying the best I can" tell him his best is not good enough. Explain to him you don't want something like this to come between the good thing that you and he have together but he has got to decide which is more important to him and which addiction (family or drug) he CAN'T live with out, and consider himself warned. One day he may wake up and find his drug but not his family and then it will be to late to say 'im sorry or i'll try harder' and you won't be as supportive and understanding then, because he ran out of 'second chances' a long time ago. Best of luck, and don't give up there is room for hope for him, but don't forget about you and your needs, when the hope runs dry.
