Feeling better...


Although he says he is not 100%, Tony says he is feeling much better.  Still having trouble sleeping, but even that is better, as well as the aches and pains and stomach trouble.

Spent some time with K this morning while Tony was in Group.  It's always good to get her perspective or interpretation of how things are going.  So, if I ask Tony about his mood, I always want to ask her too, since she is up close and personal.  Sounds better, but moods are still up and down.  Too bad she couldn't be with him for the worst of it, he had to spend one or two nights alone. But maybe that's ok, he fought that fight alone, and won the battle.  Gotta make him feel good about himself.

  2. It is so impressive that he is so young and off drugs and even decided to go off the suboxone. Good for him!

  3. Very impressed! 100 percent may be a long time coming...some say months, others say years. Gosh it seems ridiculous that anyone would risk all these withdrawal symptoms even if they were foolish enough to use.

    IT was one of the first questions I asked J. How could you even be tempted to try knowing that the withdrawal would be so painful. His response was "I didn't know how bad it would be and by the time I tried even one time it was to late."
