I told you so dance

I get to do the I Told You So dance...and I'm not thrilled about it.

You all know that my husband is a recovering opiate addict and has been clean for 3 years as of 12/11/08. If you didn't know then you know now.

He has an Addiction Specialist doctor that he sees and has seen for all 3 years. In the beginning, he saw him monthly. Then it became every 3 months and now it is every 6 months.

We just realized that he hadn't gone in almost 8 months (woops) so he called today to make an appointment for Monday. His "recovery plan" that he set forth himself says that he will see this doctor for the first 5 years at least - you know - just to make sure he's ok and not struggling or anything. It's a smart move and I'm proud of him.

So, he went to call the doctor today and was simply told, "he no longer practices here, but your records are with another doctor." Hmm. Interesting.

Interesting enough to google. I googled and HOLY SHIT! This is what I found:

Um, yeah, wow. Oh Shit. So the man that I entrusted my husband's sobriety to in those first few worrisome months was no less...a drug dealer? This article says very little, but if you keep searching his name you find out that the bastard pled guilty to all charges. His office and home were stocked with enough X, marijuana, opiates and cash to qualify him for "major drug dealer status". They found $200,000 in CASH in his house and he stored many of the illegal drugs in his office.

Wow. I can't get over it. I didn't like this man. I found him troubling to some inner sixth sense and I never liked him. Unfortunately, Addiction Specialists in a post Katrina New Orleans metro area are extremely difficult to come by. But I've told Ziggy for years now that I just don't like this man. We've actually had knock down drag out screaming matches about my distaste for this man. Ziggy would defend him and has LITERALLY used the word "savior" when describing him. Mamma was right.

Ziggy is really upset about it and feels almost betrayed and embarrassed. I don't fear my husband going back on opiates, but it's scary to know that the person who we were paying to get/keep him off the opiates is the very man that could have sold them to him in the first place. God.

Screw you, Dr. Auzine. You are a piece of shit to prey on the very same people that you claim to "save". Burn in hell, bastard.
