Concerned About Husband's Drug Use: Seeking Guidance

Question
I have been married 17 years.  My husband runs his own business and is under constant high stress.  Since we met he has smoked pot.   I am fearful our young 14 year old son will detect the odor and ask questions.  Today I found cocaine in my husband's suitcase.  He doesn't know that I found it.  I don't know how to confront my husband about the cocaine.  Our son could easily have found it.  I have no idea how long how this as been going on.  I fear that my husband will say it is something new and he is trying it to stay awake at night to work.  Do you have any advice on how I should approach the discussion with him?

Answer
You can save your son, yourself and your husband; but you must be fearless.

Take whatever you found and hide it.

Tell your husband that he has 1 hour to register into a professional treatment program or you call the police and ask him to leave. His position as a role model to your son must be immediately restored.

This is a serious business. There is no room for a gray area.

If you need professional support find a local counselor or use my phone service.
