Crack addiction 11 Months ago Karma: 7  
I am a 54 year old disabled RN. My husband of 12 years completely 'cracked' up last December. His sister died of a multiple drug overdose on Dec.9th. He was arrested at her funeral. Had a fully loaded crack pipe in the glove box but police didn't search the car.I put a PPO on him earlier that day because he continued to smoke crack in our home. He was arrested again two weeks ago with possession, resisting arrest and many other charges. I retrieved the jointly owned car and spent two hours de-toxing it. He's spent about 30k now on this lovely drug. I don't get it. Once they switch to crack do they ever come back?

Re:Crack addiction 11 Months ago Karma: 4  
Hi Thestain, first of all, thank you for getting the discussions started As the Forums are brand new, It's going to take a little time to get them ramped up, and for members to get used to the forum system (and the personal blogging system, and the treatment directory rating and review system, and the my invites/google adsense system, and...).

In my experience in this field, and my experience with the 50,000+ visitors this site gets per month, I've interacted with hundreds, maybe even thousands of crack addicts and family members of crack addicts over the years.

What I've found is that the crack addiction's hold on the addict isn't that different from some of the other "hard" drugs - they're all amazingly difficult to get off, and they're all amazingly difficult to stay off. Nevertheless, crack addicts can and do get sober, however it doesn't happen magically, and even the greatest treatment in the world can't work for someone if they don't work for it. Frankly, I find that heroin addicts have a more difficult time in general.

Thank you for the rapid response. I've been searching for a forum for support relating to drugs/drug abuse and have only found a lot of Mental Health sites. I've learned a lot about mental health! Like your set up but where are all the people? I'm real good at starting topics and keeping topics going. Well, I'll lost this post 3 times now so I'm hitting send before I have to say it all again!

The Forums are brand new. The 50,000 or so visitors this site gets per month are traditionally mainly comprised of addicts and family members of addicts looking for treatment - we're actually very excited about the rate of registration of users for the recovery community piece, as up until a week ago, there were no forums, boards or blogs, and no registered users, and up until three days ago, the forums were not open for posting. We encourage new users to post to the forums, and are confident that as new users learn the social networking, blogging and forum system, the posting will pick up rapidly
