Has cut ties with his siblings and his friends. No longer attends meetings. When I ran into him by chance a couple of weeks ago he was yellow. He is so angry/violent that I don't go near him at all willingly. We've been married 24 years and I was never afraid of him til recently. He hasn't read any of the studies that say depression, isolation, digestive and stomach problems are a side effect. He has all of them. My soon to be ex thinks he can't function without it and won't even consider that this s#^~ could be the problem. I don't think he is ever going to get sober and my heart is broken. We have the most beautiful 5 children you could ever imagine. But like some others my husbands prescription runs out early and he supplements with other drugs. I hope you have a different result. I'll pray for you.
Thank you for your prayers!! I will do the same for you as well!

I definitely see my husband as a different person. I feel like I don't even know him anymore. I moved out about 4 months ago with our two small children. He has always minimized the suboxone and said its just for pain relief...when I know he's abusing it. Not to mention the money he spends on that and god knows what else he's abusing. I think it's obvious when this drug is being used properly and to achieve sobriety. I know in my case that's not what is happening. I wish you and your children a healthy and happy future <3
