One more question, is this a sign of med abuse, anger, hyper ness , shortness, mood swings, with drawled from family, weight loss, ignoring family, absorbed on the iPhone or iPad and locking the car or other safes from family and goes in it every morning and night? And then attack me with accusations? Am I losing my mind or is he sick?

Hi Ipola,
You do know the answer, of course he is abusing these medications! Try to talk to him, get him to see an addiction counselor. There is a medication called Suboxone, and it stops the horrible withdrawals from any opiate pain medication (like OxyContin, vicodin), one must taper off Suboxone slowly. Perhaps if he gets help now he can stave off ruining his life completely. I feel for you, you may need counseling yourself, it sure couldn't hurt. Counseling may teach you why you are putting up with his bullsh*t.
Best wishes,
sweet lemon

Dear Ipola... yes, I agree w/ sweetie... you DO know the answer. I would approach him alone, without the girls around. Approach him n a loving and concerned manner. Tell him that you would like to help him even though he and you ( in some fashion) are both n denial... I think that this is the very best way to approach him with the pills stash that u have found. Offer him help either by tapering via the Thomas Recipe, or by getting a sub doc and doing the WD and healing tool with suboxone and addiction counseling (the other tool) for both of you to understand so that your hubby can now, finally get the help that he needs, and so that you can move toward a positive setting for tour teenage girls... good luck. You will be in my prayers...

I agree with all of this advise. The only thing I want to add is to wait until he's in one of his 'lovey dovey' moods to talk to him about the pills. He may still get mad and deny it but it would be better than him going into a rage and possibly hurting you. This is very scary and NOT the norm. You should not have to live this way. It's horrible!! Save some money if you can for emergencies. Have a plan and stick to it. Do you have other family that can help you?

Thank you immensely ! But one more question, is this truly a sign of something ? I cannot understand how or when this happened I just want to feel valid in all of this, what I have been going through is so scary and I feel so scared. He accuses me of horrific things and verbally bashes me, then the next day he loves me to no end or sleeps for 2 days ... I just need validation to move forward. 7 months ago I went to his sister for help, turns out she is dating the doctor subscribing all these medications, ? I just need to know or hear that I am not being ?? By finding all these pills? This is not normal ... right?
Hun you need to be careful! If he is verbally bashing you and you are experiencing horrific things then loving you, that's what my ex hub did that finallly after 2yrs of exactly that and abusing drugs beat me and it esculated to finally he beat me so bad I was almost killed. Was hospitalized for 3 weeks. Many times the bashing that then turned to beatings were when he used a large amount or was out and withdrawl. But you said he has large quantities in a safe so its not from being out.
Second confront the "doctor/friend" let him know exactly what's going on, he needs to stop prescribing and I would report him for himself abusing his ability to write the script and enable your husband. This is a VERY serious situation you are in. Please do not wait for it to be to late. That he hurts you or your girls or kills self in an OD.
Hi again Ipola,
You might just want to turn that doc into the AMA for prescribing this stuff to your husband.
You KNOW this is not normal, don't you? You may have been living this way so long that is has begun to feel normal, IT IS NOT NORMAL.
Get out of there before he hurts you, like taleese said!! Document every thing the man does, write it all down in a journal, where he cannot find it. If it comes down to a court proceding, you'll have your proof!
