What are the chances of someone quitting cocaine after years of use?

Question by mississippi_girl109: What are the chances of someone quitting cocaine after years of use?
My husband of 7 years just confessed to me that he’s been using cocaine before we were ever married. The only reason he confessed this to me is because I caught him last weekend and I took the kids and left. At 1 time in the beginning of our marriage he got me to try it. I saw the road it was heading us down and I told him I never wanted it around me or him again. We have two small children (5 and 2) and he’s begging me not to take them from him. He claims he will go to rehab, give me his paycheck every week and take his name off the bank acct. We have a lot of financial problems because of his drug use. Even though we had money problems I would believe his lies of losing money, paying bills that didn’t exist, and that hours at work being cut. I never had any clue he was using. He constantly quits jobs. I don’t know if I can believe anything he is telling me. What are the chances that he can come clean and us make a home for our family?

The only way you can quit cocaine is with serious professional help, and he needs to WANT to quit, or it will never work.
Sweetie, he LIED to you for YEARS and somehow covered up narcotics use to you for all that time.

I think you should leave him until he comes clean. Sticking around puts you and your kids in serious danger. You might also consider consulting a divorce lawyer, if I were you I’d be done with him
