Hi All

I "belong" in the friends and family section, but sometimes I feel like you folks have a different view on things so I'm hoping maybe some of you can help or can offer your thoughts on this topic?

My bf is addicted to several different kinds of medications. He seems to abuse anything that can be mood altering. He used to drink heavily years ago and after I almost left him twice, he decided that he was not going to drink anymore (but didn't get any kind of help). I thought we were in the clear when I found out he was abusing his meds. He admits to having a problem with drinking, but is in denial about abusing his pills. He knows that I'm concerned and we have had some talks about it and how I feel about it. He always denies it, but one time said that he "knows his tendencies" and then later told me that he talked to his doctor about going on suboxone because it was something he can do to "calm my fears". I was excited at first, but I'm not really sure if this is even a good thing if he doesn't really want to get the help for himself.

Now this is probably premature because I don't even know that his doctor will put him on them. His doctor knows about his addiction problems. Anyway,
I guess what I'm wondering is if it makes him feel better and feel back to normal and not crave the meds, would he be like, WOW, I feel good and now see how crappy I felt before??? Does that make sense?

I'm just not sure what to think...
