When Chris used to mess up, he would always tell me, "I meant it when I said it...it wasn't a lie." I believe your husband means what he is saying. However, it is difficult to stay away from those pills when they take away negative feelings and create a sense of wellbeing. Inform your husband that he's got a good shot at resuming normal brain function now, since he caught it early on. The longer the opiate receptors are coated with artificial opioids, the harder it is for those neurons to fire correctly again. That's the scientific part; the emotional part is the hardest, and that's why he should seek a counselor and Psychiatrist who can prescribe an antidepressant and work with him on why he feels he needs the pills to feel joy. I know where he's coming from because I myself became dependant on Darvocet, then Vicodin, then any opiate I could get my hands on just to be able to socialize.

Good luck to both of you! Email me if you want to ask any questions. Lindsay_Rae_8@hotmail.com

Sincerely,
Lindsay
