Missypie, we talked on the phone today about that very thing, the effectiveness or potential ineffectiveness of the meds if he chooses to smoke or drink, he is going to speak to him in the next few days about this, as this will have a huge impact on how they work for him.
Thanks for all the good wishes, he woke up today and went to work and FOR HIM that was a big step so going very much against my nature, (to not compliment unless really warranted) and to the nod of the therapist…I complimented him on how he looked and told him we are all proud of him for getting up to go and be productive. In addition to him having to change HIS behavior, it means a change in OURS as well so we are all relearning behaviors and reactions, at the same time.
Challenging-very but I will keep plugging because I cannot think of anything more important to me than my sons/kids happiness…and I cannot imagine being genuinely content in my own life unless I know they are fulfilled…will keep you posted!
