Hi Tina!
Just wanted to see how you were doing. How's the hubby? Has he gotten any further with this pain management? Everything going OK on the homefront?
My boyfriend and I have been doing really well. He ended up going on his own with a partner for work and is so much happier. He was having trouble at his last job because of lack of work and very little pay. Quite a few guys are slow on work at his old job and a couple have now quit because of it and they got paid more than he did because of more seniority.
He wasn't happy with the job either and that just contributed to his stress and depression. But now he is very excited and already on a job and has a couple of more jobs lined up and making way more money. He is so excited to be able to pay off all of his debts. His mood has improved dramatically; however, now he is sick. He has sort of had a flu/cold bug the last few days and is achy all over, etc., etc. I keep hearing about it - typical man!!! lol
It's kind of interesting though - he was NEVER sick before. Or never felt the effects of being sick due to his drug use. When you are taking something that is basically a pain killer in huge quantities, I guess that's what happens!
So it's just another sign for me that he is definitely still clean. And what a baby!!
Anyways, just wanted to touch base with you.
Hope things are going good with you.
Take care,
Mickey
Hey Mickey,
Well things are doing good. The hubby found out that acupuncture will have to be paid out of pocket and he was dissapointed, cause it is so expensive. Also he should finally know something about the Tens machine this week......He did find a place that does accupressure and many people told him that it really helps them with stress.........so he is thinking of giving that a try also. Other than that he is keeping himself real busy, working and on the weekends he makes sure he has lots planned. Idle time seems to bother him some and sets off cravings. Probably why you bf was so down. They get to much time to think. Keeping busy should really help him......they get that sense of self worth too.
I know just what your saying about them getting sick......mine was never sick, but I do think they just took more drugs to over ride the illness........Oh and they are such babies when they don't feel good........mine is worse than the kids.....
So we are still fighting the good fight from our own side of things. Which makes life easier for both of us.........Real nice not to worry and be able to control the impending doom thoughts.
You both take care of yourselves and enjoy it all.......
Love,
Tina
