Have you tried talking to your husband and explaining what it's like to be powerless over your addiction to pills? That this test is making it very hard for you to remain focused on recovery?
I totally agree with Sugah! Very wise advice. He has got to understand that your recovery must be taken seriously. You need support and encouragement.
