It sounds like you really really love your husband, hold on
for a little while longer. After your first post I asked my DR
why they would put him?someone on a high dose for to
begin with. He explained to me that when a person uses
for a long time it's best to start at a high dose so they do\not crave their DOC
(drug of choice) than they bring the person down slowly, this gives the
mind and body a chance to adjust to the change. At first he might seem
high on the suboxone (this weill chaneg soon) and meetings might be
a little hard for him to understand right now..As long as the DR drops
his dose in about a week I would not worry yet. Once his dose is lowered
and he doesn't make meetings than get on his As$ and tell him if he doesnt
start meetings and get a sponsor he's out of the house..and stick with it.
You have held in there for 30 years so please do not give up yet.
I know for me that suboxone allowed me to get sober/clean
without the cravings and I was able to go to meetings and such.
SO far I have stayed clean. But it took me 3 to 4 months to get there.
So wait and see if he works the program once his dose is lowered. any
questions please feel free to PM me.

you have every right to feel the way you do. i would be full of doubt too after all this time, but he has shown signs of improvement, the meetings are great and i hope he got as much out of them as i did. it still sounds like he is struggling and not overly enthusiastic about staying clean, but it's still early. you have been patient all these years, i say see how it goes over the next month with the suboxone and meetings and only you can judge if he wants this or not. this is his last chance, i hope he knows that. i think your being as supportive as a person can be.
