what to do?!

found out a few months ago that my husband is a junkie - I mean, like so hooked on narcotics - almost lost his job, still might - I’ve started making plans to leave although he has gone through detox (withdrawals and what not). He lied to me so much in the past year because of his addiction. I supported him through withdrawals and trying to quit - but I don’t believe he really will - am I wrong not to trust him or try to suppot him when all he does is whine and complain about his pain and I am soooo sick of his insomnia - I am soooo confused. I want to leave but don’t know if I should just abandon him now - I don’t want to “look after a kid” - he is 45 yrs old. I have a full-time demanding job and am very outgoing and generally happy-go-lucky person with a lot of friends but in the past few months have not gone anywhere much and friends don’t call or visit too much anymore.
