Question: Can a person stop using drugs with out professional help? My husband started smoking crack 1 1/2 years ago. I put him in rehab but he started using again. Now he swears he wants off the drugs. I want him to go to reheb for long term tratment. He thinks he can do it himself.  He does not live with me any more. I made him leave, but he wants to come home

Answer: Yes.  I did.  It's not easy at all, but it's possible.  He needs a tough love environment.  If I loved my husband very much, I would be on his ass non stop... keeping him busy with other things.  Painting, cleaning, anything to keep his hands busy.  But he will go through a huge depression period.  It will not be easy.
