medication

J saw his counselor yesterday and told me after his appointment ~ his ex-girlfriend was in on the session.  He said that she had suggested it before but he wasn't interested.  I am guessing that he finally realized that they aren't going to get back together and all the phone calling and pleading in the world wasn't going to change anything.  In fact, he told me that his counselor suggested that if he should call her ~ she is to call us.  He has a very persistent personality and always had a hard time letting go of things.  He's very determined when he wants something and that's a bad combo when you have a chemical imbalance.  Maybe it's the imbalance that makes him this way ~ who knows?  All I know is that I'm relieved that he can share with me.  He also told me that his counselor suggested that he go to AA.  I hope he does.  He went before a few times and said he doesn't like it - too depressing.  How ironic is that?
Anyway - I guess he's going to try meds.  I hope the doctor prescribes Wellbutrin.  It will help with his smoking....
