[QUOTE="DDD, post: 41962, member: 35"] easy child/difficult child is trying to completely eliminate pot from his life. We are praying, dancing, crossing, rattling and everything else we can do that he finds success. He is signed up with a personal trainer, but only for a once a week on a supervisory capacity as we can not afford the PT 3x a week as suggested. Anyway...last night he told me that he can't get to sleep on his own. He does NOT want to take any prescription other than his anti-seizure medication as he is "afraid he might get back into pills like he was before". [img]:smile:[/img] He asked what I took and I told him otc sleeping pills that are not addictive. He surprised me by saying "don't you just take a half of one some nights?" (Observant son-of-a-gun, lol.) I said yes and then I said I used to give your brother Melatonin which is otc and suppose to be natural. I know people in "recovery mode" are often told not to take any pill for anything. on the other hand, I think his inquiry is a big step forward for him. He is back talking about trying school again. We are on the roller coaster, of course, for years to come due to the brain trauma but it sounds like he wants to take another step forward. He has never done coke, heroin, meth. I know he has done pills from triple CCC's when he was 14 to xanax combined with booze prior to the surgery. IF he is OFF pills as of his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that's a big step. IF he can forget pot (I KNOW he wants to quit!) that is another big step. That leaves booze which he told the PT he wants to replace with good health. The PT told him not to "stop" but to "wean". So.....what do you think from experience about otc sleep pills? DDD [/QUOTE]
