really need some support

I'm not really looking for answers this time around, but I could really use some support and prayers or positive thoughts. Tomorrow is the day my ABF goes to his Dr. He will come out with an increased dose of klonopin. We talked at length about how I'm not willing to live with him getting high every day so he can numb his feelings. I'd say the moment of truth is coming over the next few days. Since I already told him what I would not tolerate, I know that I can't back down. Needless to say, I'm nervous and stressed. Obviously I'm pulling for him and praying he does it right. But I'm also being realistic this time around.
Thanks for letting me share.

I'm surprised that a doctor would prescribe klonopin to a prescription pill addict to begin with...

The truth will always reveal itself, praying for you to have strength and sending you positive vibes. Guard your heart and take care of you.

I have a very close friend in recovery 2 years who has been prescribed klonopin. Dual diagnosis is tricky stuff.

I hope you are able to find yourself some peace soon.

What plans have you made for yourself in the event he continues with the drugs?

Our instincts tell us everything we need to know but our heart usually is not ready to hear or accept it.

The day before his Dr. Appointment YOU are nervous and stressed…..I pray that you find the light out of this way of living.

so he's going to get a refill on the drug he has been abusing, or at least using more than prescribed? how is this going to be any different than all the other times?

i do hope you have a firm plan B in place.....for you.

My plan B is not the most solid plan, but I do have arrangements made including transportation and a place to stay should it be necessary.

Why not turn your thinking around and put the pressure where it belong on HIM to change? Right now, your behavior is contingent on HIS choices.

Why not just go to Plan B right now and, if he, over time, does better, let him come back to you and prove it?

That way you have the power over your own life right now, which is where it belongs.

Nothing changes, if nothing changes. Be the change you hope to see. Set an example. Take care of you.
