Hi Declan, I believe it is the opposite and that he is smoking MJ to escape and not feel so much and because of the underlying fear that he will drink again if he stops. He smokes it alone in his room at night. The MJ in the evening has stopped him from being able to go out with me or his older brother (when he visits) to say dinner and the movies. Being stoned makes him paranoid when he leaves the home!

We are hoping that the increase in Effexor to 375mgs will help with the breakthrough depression and OCD. He is also continuing to go once a week to a day clinic program. I know that worrying (his and or mine)about his MJ usage makes his OCD run riot. Thats why I have taken my worries to you guys.
