Http:/ / al-anon.alateen.org/ First, i recommend that you get off the anti-depressents and try to handle this issue. Our minds are resilient, they learn how to deal with situations better with every issue we have to deal with and if you aren't letting yourself deal with the situation, then you are never going to be able to. Your husband probably didn't go to rehab only for pot, it is not physically addictive and with therapy, if there is a mental addiction, that can be over come. Chances are he went because of his abuse of alcohol and crack-cocaine. I really wish him luck coming clean, my sons father never did. Alanon , even though I never went, is supposed to be a wonderful support group for people in your position, a loved one who is an addict. I wish you and your husband all the luck in the world.
