Sorry it's been so long on an update. Things here are going better. Hubby doesn't drink to oblivion anymore. He still has his ups and downs and does the whole manipulation dance everyday so that he gets to get a drink in here or there or at a restaurant with me (because he's ALWAYS hungry...yeah right!). But overall he's much better. He had his assessment with his outpatient program today and seems pretty encouraged by it. He said everyone was nice and in the least, he'll at least make some new friends. He'll be there 3 times a week for 3 hrs for the first few weeks...9:30am to 12:30pm....I guess I'll be getting up early for the next few months...ugh...i don't do mornings well!!! :P Hopefully it will help him.
We are doing much better because of all of this. I see a husband again and haven't had to babysit him anymore like I used to. We've been hanging out at home a lot....we watched all seasons of Lost up till the last episode.
As for me, I'm no longer having to take tramadol. I decided since I was sorta forced to get off of it for a while, might as well not get back on it if I didn't have to. I'm just taking lorazepam for any spasms during the day and 2-3mgs at night for sleep. Does wonders for me. Also, we got a new Dormia bed and we sleep soooooo well on it. :D
Hope everyone is doing well. I'll be back later to check on you guys.... :D
