About Me

Bio

Concerned wife. My husband has been on Xanax for several years and an alcoholic. He quit drinking about three weeks ago and says he quit the Xanax and Hydrocodone also. Well, today he got the Xanax refilled. I think he is addicted to it, but according to his doctor, he will be fine. She only filled it because he is nervous about the knee surgery he is having on Friday and she only put one refill one it. How do I get him help even though he doesn't think he needs it? I know he is having Alcohol withdrawals also, but he will not admit it.
