Well here goes my story. My husband has been indicted on Federal drug charges, and is awaiting sentencing in late September. He has been in State jail since April. Our story is something out of a movie. We were both in the military, fell in love got married. He got caught up with a "didfferent" crowd, and went from alcohol, to cocaine, and ended up involved with meth to make it very short. Our home was raided by the DEA, and the police dept. Very scary! I always thought we were so unlike "others". We had a good life, made good money, and had it all. Or so I thought...There were so many lies and so much that he has put himself and our family through. Although because of his addictions and troubles with the law I have been humbled by many things. He had done rehab a couple of years ago, and that opened my eyes to many things. We have been married 9 years, and I believe in the sanctity of marriage. I cannot make my love for him vanish, in spite of some anger I do feel towards him. I have never done a drug, and at time wrestle with understanding the nature of addiction. However, I have forgiven myself for the past as I did the best I could given the tools I had available at the time.

He is facing 54 months, and he has 2 DWI's on his criminal record. His lawyer is filing a couple of motions prior to his sentencing to try to get some time off. All I can do is wait and see what he is sentenced to serve...

welcome! I have been a member for a short time myself but the one thing I have learned from this site is that if there is a place where people would understand your pain, you are definitely in the right place. I have found that even with emotional support from family they will never understand your pain like a person who is going through a similar situation. Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too. My situation is somewhat like yours. Hubby was addicted to alcohol and then cocaine and then trouble came. I don't really drink or do any drugs and I did not know of my hubby's cocaine addiction (how dumb can I be). I thought all the money disappearing was going to drinking. Well, his defense set us back and we are struggling. He is serving his sentence (state charges) and I am trying to get our family back on track. It is hard being alone with the kids, etc. It is nice to have this place to come to. Good luck with your case. If you ever want to talk, I'm here!

Welcome. My husband and I are also dealing with the 11th Circuit in Federal Court, of course he's been in for 13 years so we're a little farther along than you but it's still an uphill battle. Good luck and try to keep your head up. Dealing with the charges AND an addiction can be pretty tough.

I'm also from GA, Stay out of all this rain! :-)

Welcome! we are dealing with something like you. My husband just got indicted for possesion of meth. we are still waiting to hear from his lawyer whom we havent heard from in 6 months. the good news is he doesnt have anything on his record but traffic tickets he didnt pay. Hopefully this will look good in court. Thankfully he is now clean. and says he doesnt "miss the dope" He is even requesting drug tests from his boss to show the courts he is staying clean. Pray for his strength .
