Need support. Alcoholic husband asking for my meds

[CatsandCheese]

He just got approved and started a very hopeful program of monthly injections to counter alcohol cravings.

Only a couple weeks and he already hit the NyQuil. Just now he asked for some of my prescription meds. He said he needs more sleep. Truth is, he wants to be KNOCKED OUT. I said no. Now I feel guilty. Also hopeless and afraid - that he won't give this treatment a chance. Then he says he can't take the cat in for a tooth extraction because he won't be rested by tomorrow morning?? If I give him my meds that means the situation here is hopeless. It IS hopeless, but I'm codependent and afraid of being alone. I also have to make sure the fur babies are cared for.

Sorry for your situation. All I can say is stand strong. Nothing good will come of giving in to him. He needs to get through this difficult time without meds. I know it's so difficult, but stay strong and make sure your meds are locked up, or you both will be in a worse place. Sending you courage and strength 💪

Thank you. I'm feeling better. His injections are VERY expensive, but that's okay - if he puts in the effort to make this work. That's what I told him.
