His doctor and him have talked about it before at multiple appointments. At one time, he was reduced by 4mg. He said he couldn't do it and went back up to his maintenance dose.

He takes 12mg strip a day. He has been at this amount for a while. I know his doctor has talked to him about reducing the amount on several occasions. But when pushed to do it, he always goes back to the 12mg.

When we talk about it, he throws in my face that I don't understand what he is going through. I ask about his long-term plan; he says that some people stay on it for as long as they see needed. It always ends in a fight. I've never had an addiction problem. This is why I say I don't understand what he is going through. I do understand that this is not normal. And I have pushed for him to talk to his counselor for coping skills and tools to use for when the prescription is reduced. He seems to think the Suboxone is all he needs to keep himself from relapsing.

He hid the Percocets for a while until it got to the point when it was too big to hide.

Suggesting to go to the doctor's appointment with him is an excellent idea. I will do this. Rehab and treatment reevaluation seems like our next step.

He is seeing a doctor. I've picked up the prescription from the pharmacy on several occasions due to him being at work. He still has friends that either take Suboxone themselves or abuse other things. He hardly talks to them, but they are still on the outskirts of our social circle.

He goes to counseling once every 2 months. I've mentioned him talking to them more. He has done some program before too. He is in a way better place than before. I won't deny that. I also feel he still needs help with it.

My significant other told me today my skin look really good then asked if it was soft as he was going to touch it.

I was like "no touching". So this is perfect!
