alcohol and nyquil
by BlackBetty, Mar 27, 2007 12:00AM
Just recently my boyfriend has decided to stop drinking because he is a verbally abusive alcoholic. I told him that I would stick by him if he really wanted to do this (because otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it anymore and would have to leave) but ever since we got back (we've been gone a week from eachother) he has been terribly depressed and irritable not wanting any help from me even though I try and cheer him up. What bothers me the most is that he is still drinking NyQuil to help him fall asleep since he has always had trouble with sleeping and the doctor he goes to doesn't seem to know what sleep medication is and ends up giving him something that in fact causes insomnia. My biggest worry is, is that NyQul is actually only making it harder for him to fight this dreadful disease, that unfortunatly, runs in his family. I don't honestly know if I can take away his Nyquil or not, but some helpful advice would be wonderful. He already blames me for "taking away the one relaxing and enjoyable thing" in his life.

If he did quit drinking he's probably resorting to the nyquil, and if he's taking enough, he's getting a high from it, if he doesn't quit with it soon, it's a hard road with substance abuse. It is probably keeping his mind away from the drinking but isn't worth it, seek help.
