[QUOTE="saving grace, post: 28487, member: 1538"] Thank You Barbara, I have learned and I am still learning that every single day is different. I can not expect that even though today was a good day that tomorrow will be. Thats where most of my disappointments stem from is hoping for it to all be gone or for him to finally be better then something happens and I am crushed. I am learning to accept that he is an addict and that the little accomplishments are better than none and keep hoping he moves forward. Karen, he has been on the Suboxone for 3 weeks now and depakote and seroquel for a little over one week. I am not sure what to think of the changes. for a while he was getting sick from the Suboxone and he had really bad anxiety he was scratching at his face and biting his nails making them bleed. the depakote and seroquel has helped that a bit, but he is real real tired and still seems depressed, he doesnt really have much ambition and still sort of lies around all day. He says he feels normal but I dont see it. As for the alcohol and pot, I know he is trying to stay away from it but he has zero will power, his only 2 friends smoke like everyday!!!, he rarely drinks and he does smoke cigs, he complains of how hard they are to quit. He doesnt like it but he is just such a weak person I feel bad for him sometimes. its like he cant say no, he tries but it just gets in his head and thats it. I hope the Suboxone helps him, he doesnt share much with me about what he is feeling. So I have to wait and see what happens and how he appears to be doing. grace [/QUOTE]
