Well I went to the suboxone dr. with my husband yesterday... He told her that I was mad because he wasnt taking his meds right... She said does Ted think he is done and can treat himself now or do you think you ought to listen to your doctor and your wife...  She then put him on the 3 to 6 month plan... And mentioned himself about an NA meeting for tonight... I was in shock..and still am... Do I think he could be lying to me again.... possible.. But hope is hope... its all I have left... To all my good friends out there I wish you all a Good Day... ~~~ Casper

I am so sorry to hear that your husband changed his mind.  We'll see if he feels the same in a day or two when he is in full blown withdrawals.  Unfortunately sweetie there might not be a whole  lot for you to do anymore, but to see if he goes thru the cold turkey or ends up relapsing.  As  much as you  want to help an addict it is ultimately up to that person to actually want to do it.  You have to start taking care of yourself and ask yourself if you want to go on living this way?  Has he gone cold turkey before?  It seems to me that he didn't even give the sub a fair chance, it could have made his withdrawals a lot easier, but fine if he wants to do it the hard way let him.but i also think you should let him know that you refuse to go on living this way, (if of course that is how you feel). I am the addict in my family and my husband has been fed up with me a few times, thank God he didnt totally give up on me because on sept. 27 i will have my one year clean, and i feel like i love him more than ever, because he has been there for me, so yeah it's up to you how much you are willing to put up with, which i am sure at this point it has been alot.  My heart goes out to you.

casper-I was there just 2 short weeks ago.The sub worked but I pulled out after being on it 1 week,no support meetings or anything.week 1 ok,week 2(w/o sub) was tough but doable,week 3-I bought 30 percocet & started the cycle over again.I think your husband may have relapsed(I hope not!)but I didnt want any outside support & thought I could kick a 2 year habit in 2 weeks.Go back to the doctor.Its time to try again,thats what I'm doing

Now that sounds a bit positive more positive since I last saw you post.. YOOHOO!  I'm glad the doc spoke up and helped remind him.  Not everyone has the comfort of others being there to support them as he does in you, I hope he continues to make the best of that.  You keep remembering...every step in the right direction is a good step...even if there little ones.  Hope he follows thru with that meeting, didn't you mention that you have been in recovery as well?  Ya think he could or would let you go with him...be there for him so he's not alone?  I could see where some wouldn't want that, but since you can understand the things he is going thru and what it's like first hand...it could make it easier for him if he's willing. So happy to hear your having a little spot of sunshine showing through now...Best wishes to you both!
