Should I stay with a heroin addict who is in rehab after relapsing?

I’ve been with him for 10 yrs and we recently got married. He’s been on heroin for 3 yrs now. He came forward a year ago and wanted help so did cold turkey. He was clean for 3 months and started using again behind everyone’s back. We got married thinking he is clean. He pawned almost everything in our house, jewelry, laptop, brand new xbox, dvd player, brand new 52″ tv and he was on the run for two days. He finally came home and I found out he even sold his mercedes radio and navigation system. I am torn apart. I have nothing left inside of me. He wants help and will be going to rehab and tells me he loves me and will fix everything. He is currently staying at his parents house. I need advice on what to do. I know I deserve better but I love and care about him a lot but suffered way too much to forgive him. Help!!!!!!
My parents beg me to stay away from him and to forget him and move on with my life.

My dad has been using heroin (needles) for over 30 yrs now, I was put up for adoption at age 9, I’m 32 yrs now and hes still using. He just got out of prision a few weeks ago after 2 yrs for possession and hes using again. He lives in an abandoned house no electricity, no water its pretty discusting. I went to take him food 2 days ago and he was all wasted, so I left with out giving him food. I am so angry because he has no intention on quiting and I really want to bring him back and be apart of our lives since he missed out on me growing up.

Can anyone recommend a good book to help a grandmother stop enabling her drug addicted grandson? She doesn’t identify with the concept of codependency and just needs some help to understand how her well-motivated behavior is misguided and how to stop enabling.

It has been four years since I last used heroin. I never went through rehab, or to NA or any other programs. I kicked the habit on my own, and have ever once considered going back to it. Recently, I’ve started feeling depressed, sleeping a lot, and having panic attacks like I did in the first few months of being clean. But now I’m starting to feel the same way again. I have heard there are lasting effects to addiction, I’m just wondering if this recent bout with depression could be related to that?

How can I help thoes people? In fact, I’ d never thought about helping pp. & I never cared about it until I found someone that I loved who addicted to weed.
I’m a heroin addict?

Ok, to start im a 20 yr old male. I started using heroin about 5 or 6 months ago, when i was 19. I really hate what ive become. I have an awesome girlfriend, who doesnt have any idea about my problem, actually, none of my family knows. im a very skilled guitar player, but havent done anything productive since i started using. I know that in a twisted way, im fortunate to be seeking help this early in my addiction. so yes, my withdrawal period will be easier than someone whos been using for years but, at the same time, im to far in for it to be anywhere near easy. going cold turkey is not an option, i tried, and became extremely sick, and i never want to feel that way again. also an in house rehab center wouldnt work, because i have a fulltime job and i really dont want anyone to know about this, my family, friends, or co workers. Once im off, relapsing wont be an obstacle. It wont happen, im so ready to be off this damn drug. man, a methadone treatment would be ideal, but i want a doc.
