YOU SOUND JUST LIKE MY HUSBAND I MARRIED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS CLEAN AND SOBER I GAVE UP MY BEER FOR HIM and stuck to IT...he got on some kinda high dollar medical mary jane and now he cant even have sex..HE IS TOTALLY LIMP>>>.HOPE THAT DONT HAPPEN TO YOU>>>WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND>>>KARMA BABY MINE SPENT 400 one week and the next week he was soo so high he left his wallet in a store and LOST 600 hes sleepin in his car now, getting busted did not scare him ....I loved pot but now I hate it YOUR MARRIAGE N BILLS COME BEFORE YOUR DOPE...

you would never know I was a pot addict. I look totally normal, although I am constantly struggling with this weed in my life. I smoked throughout my kids pregnancies, and would get so addicted my husband would hide it and I could smell it in the rafters, I could find it anywhere.. Im sure I affected my youngest,because of smoking during pregnancy, although she is amazing, she has some emotional issues. I am going through a possible separation of my marriage of 25 years because my husband gets high, although I don't, and it triggers me so badly, and I just think he acts so fricking stupid when high that I can't even stand him,... he is a good man, helps with everything, brings in money, doesn't cheat. I told him- go do what you want, just don't be around me when high, so he went on Facebook while stoned and made a fool of himself. He doesn't believe me that Ive had it with the weed use here. YES Im going to a psychologist to get some help. I just want you all to understand the fact that your clean healthy looking neighbour may not have the perfect life you think she does. Im pretty messed up. I haven't smoked for over 16 years and Im glad about that but feel terrible about myself because of the blatant selfishness.

I am currently divorcing my husband and have a 3 year old daughter. Can anyone give me advice on how to win custody. Don't feel it is in the best interest of her to spend over nights with him until he gets clean

Honest guy.....I know this post is old but, GET REAL!!!! Don't accuse the people that are being emotionally and physically abused of being the problem. Typical response I hear EVERYDAY of my life! It's ALWAYS someone else's fault, even though they were, are, and almost always will be like that no matter who they are with. It's not just the spouse/significant other that suffers....it's any family member that shares the addicts life and loves them. The children suffering because of things they do not yet understand, the spouses who have tried and exhausted every resource available. How much should they continue loving someone who refuses to get help? Until death do you part? And who's death? Over the last six years I have watched and been the victim of my husbands increasing raging anger, severe emotional abuse which in turn has become physical as well, abuse of our pets, abuse of my daughter, affairs with teenage girls because they will get high with him, running our business into the ground because he cannot retain information for longer than a few hours, the destruction of anything in the house that is not tied down, lies EVERYDAY, jail time, lifetime probation for seriously injuring the guys he was dealing with, knocking my 14 year old daughter to the ground and stuffing her mouth full of dirt and grass, repeated child abuse investigations, over drawing our bank accounts to buy more than 200.00 worth of pot A WEEK-sometimes leaving us with no grocery or gas money, I could go on and on....but I won't! He is currently in jail because I finally got strong enough to put a protection from abuse order against him which resulted in numerous other charges like paraphernalia found in his truck - YES he smokes while driving, having firearms - he threatened to shoot me as well, and not passing his urine test....I have tried EVERYTHING I know to do....YOU ARE AN ASS! We do love them, we do support them, we do try and try again, but they will not change because we do that, only when THEY want to. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT! I have been his scapegoat for any and all wrongdoing....he lies because of me, he smokes because of me, he gets violent because of me, etc, etc......and I should mention these were ALL THINGS HE DID BEFORE ME. Go ahead and ask.....he had gone through treatment and everyone thought he was clean. Including me. I loved my husband but I will not die for things I cannot control or fix. You CAN get addicted to pot and it CAN and WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING GOOD IN YOUR LIFE AND THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU AS WELL.....please don't degrade anyone on here being victimized by telling them to continue doing things that DON'T WORK. These are not weekend, social, occasional users. They are straight up everyday all day users who have ruined our/our children's/and their own lives and have no desire to change. Amazing that only a user would give bullshit advice to people being destroyed by an addict they can't help.

Thanks so much for confirming that what's left of your brains are all attached by only one thing. The high. Maybe you could come over one day and explain to myself, my children and our pets how your advice actually works. And promise that as long as we love them and support them the abuse will stop. HA WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!

I would say these issues do not stem from the marijuana use but from a much deeper place. Untill the real issues are resolved it won't matter if he is smoking pot or chewing gum!

Marijuana is about as addictive than coffee and much less harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. People should not be getting high while driving but people should not be texting, eating, putting on make-up, driving angry or having sex while driving but we have all done it... (except I don't text or wear make-up)

The "War On Drugs" is an "ABJECT FAILURE" by any standard, it's destructive and undermines our priniciples of life, liberty, freedom, democracy, justice, equality and compassion.

America has more people in prison than any other country, this is folly and failure...

i feel the same way.. my nerves can't take much more of this.. i have tried and tried to cope with this. and i can't seem too.. he tells me not to pay it any attention after he smokes it.. well it's hard not too.. he is very irritable when he don't get it and takes all his frustrations out on me.. we argue more than we do anything.. he thinks i should go out and find work.. to me that's a man's place too.. i am not going to bring money in to help as long as he is doing pot.. i will not.... one day i will probably leave and when i do i want have to deal with it any longer.. i just love him so much.. so upset and frustrated i don't know which way to go or do.. can someone please give me some pointers on what to do to help me.. thanks so much.. mypain57

I know your pain, my husband of 13 years suffers from bipolar and uses pot to help him stay happy.

he takes his frustrations out on me, and hurts me emotionally and sometimes a tad bit, physically.

Like a tight squeeze , when he says he is hugging me, when yet it is a way of him hurting me, to get his frustrations out,,he knows that living on Marijuana is a way out for him, he doesn't have to face the real world.it is quite annoying , because us, as women , have to face the real world everyday, and we don't escape it, and it leaves all the burden on us.

I am trying very hard to leave him in 3 months. i can't deal with it anymore. i have been working alot to save money, and i just want to be alone.

As some one told me, think with your brain and not with your heart. because the heart will keep you there.

WoW, i know exactly your pain, and i am in agreement with you on everything, my husband as well, lies everyday to me, and his smoking pot, has destroyed us, it puts them in such a state of living in a non-real world when they are high. And i have to handle all the burdens myself of the real world. i myself have found strength to finally work a lot and get myself out of this horrible situation,

i really hope things get better for you, and i have a feeling your anger has turned into strength for you.

Emm actually shroomduke if you smoke weed daily you are addicted it makes a gland priduce excessive ammounts of melationin when you stop you do not get any as the gland no longer functions properly without weed you need to suppllement it so it is addictive though 90% of those whom get to this stage are actually bipolar suffererd whomare not diagnosed

Pot does not "help" anything!! If anything, it CAUSES irrational, delusional, angry behavior after long term use!! It is EXTREMELY addictive, and very detrimental to mental health.
