I keep asking myself, what more can I do? And then I hear the words of my therapist, it is his responsbility and he has to learn there are consequences for his actions and take responsibility for them.
Sounds like a good therapist!!

Any way I look it is now, I have to face the fact that he does have all the resources available to him and goes at times but has not fully accepted and/or committed to his recovery
That sounds like the only reasonable plan for you. If you want help with his addict side, pop over to the Nar Anon forums and ask the ppl there. They are pretty cool. They'll help you learn how to take care of you.

You describe about your husband feeling better, then going off of meds because of it... I have seen my partner do this. I've also seen the self dosing she goes thru if not under control. She allows me to keep track of her meds. I consider myself lucky in this. My AA sponsor is also bipolar and I've seen her struggles..... all the same stuff you describe and I've seen in my partner.

Bipolar looks like a drag to me. I hate my unipolar depression, but I wouldn't trade it for bipolar!
