Hi Steps

Thanks for the info. Yeah, he just started so I believe he's getting 40ml (or whatever it's measured in). They give him 30 at first see how that goes over with him then later, in the same day, they give him another 10. I guess every few days they bump him up more but before that he has to see their counselor. I guess it's going to be a little bit before he's up to what is really going to work for him. So I hope this whole thing works for him too. There's many reasons I can stand behind this...it's just street drugs..shooting up...yeah, that's just not going to work if we are going to be together. He's got us in somewhat of a financial bind from all of it but if the methadone treatments are going to help (not that that's cheap either) then we can start from scratch and see where this goes. I atleast look at is as a step in the right direction, we just gotta see if works out.
Yeah, I go on the friends and family section too. I mention this to all them and told them what's been going on the past 2 weeks and they still give me hell. Maybe I'm in the wrong, maybe this isn't going to work...I don't know. All I can do is see how things go from day to day and pay to pay and if it doesn't get better or I begin to see things going back to the way they were, then I know the option of leaving has to be there. As for now, I'm waiting to see if things get back to normal. I know it may take a while, but I need that time to see how it works.
Thanks for the support! I hope we can work through this too. Only time will tell. Take care and have a good one!
