first of all i'm so sorry you have to deal with being in Iraq, a wife who is home shooting Meth , and your son.

Meth is a terrible drug inside of 3 months it changes a person so much and really robbs them of who they are. Meth is highly addictive and has a high relapse rate. Get as much education on this drug as you possibly can if you are going to support your wife getting clean.

If I were in this situation and once the shock wore off I would want to address the Issue of Disease from Needle injecting. Make sure she gets a full blood screen.

All Addictes blame others for their problems till they start getting honest with themselves. You have played a role in this perhaps as an enabler but you were not holding her down and injecting Meth into her body.

You stated in another thread she was using drugs because of low self esteem and to control her weight. You didn't mention it was Meth. She must have a history of some drug useage of some type cause no one wakes up one day and decides they are gonna go out and score some Meth to see if it takes them down a pound or two. People who are trying to control weight usually go to "diet coke" Cocaine.

I"m not saying run from this situation but don't kid yourself This is a bad a$$ addiction and it won't be easy. You are a nice guy and i'm sure you have your skeltons too but CW and many others are right on the money when they say she has to really want to give up Meth and abusing herself in order to stay clean and be clean.
