What can do.....Please help me

Answer
Hi jessica,

You have to understand that his need for drugs is far more important to a drug addict than helping his son or his wife. Drug addiction is a destroyer of human relationships. Your future with your husband is bleak, if he does not get treatment for drug addiction.

He needs to be motivated for treatment.

If he understands the underlying mechanism of drug addiction and he is motivated, he should be able to help himself with the help of our web site.

Please let him read:

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm...

Treatment of Drug Addiction at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/treatment_drug_addiction.html

Self Help Personal Growth Program at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/self-help_personal_growth.html

and ask to be referred to a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or Nutritional Psychologist if you want to.

He can also read my book: ":Getting off the Hook", available at Google Book Search .
