My husband told me he is addicted to cocodamol he takes 8 to 12 a day to get through the day. What am I not providing that he needs to do this? What do I need to do? Can anyone offer any advise? Has anyone ever been through this situation or similar? Help please.

I am sorry to hear this. I am not sure what this is. I would look it up and see what it is used for and what it does. Had you been able to tell anything about his behavior prior to him telling you? You can look it up and find out all the information on it. The good news is that he told you about it. Admission is huge in an addiction. You should be happy at least about that. But you need to remember that this is not your fault at all. There is nothing that you did or didn't do. There are things in life that make it hard to cope for some people. I would help him to find rehab and go from there.

I have this friend of mine who was very addicted to pills. He would take 15 painkillers tablet a day and not wake up for 2 days after consuming it. His mom found out he had been taking such pills and immediately threw all his pills and admitted him to rehab. He is married now and doing great with his life. I hope your husband hasn't reached to this stage but make sure you act on time. pills addiction can lead to several problems later on. Take Care!

So, what is that medicine is all about cocodamol. I have no idea what that is, and would this one get anyone addicted. If overdose can be dangerous, you should advise him not to take it anymore if not necessary. Or you might need some legal help or family members help on this one too. Before it is too late.

Not sure what cocodamol is, but if it is an addiction he needs to get help right away. You can encourage him to get help and explain the wrong/bad side by using it but ultimately he has to be willing to seek and get help. Wait I went online and saw what exactly it is and your husband does need to get help right away. This is not something he can stop alone. It is codeine and most who do use and get addicted to this move on to higher end type so please ask him to get help!
