Well, we are now into the 3rd week I think of himself giving up heroin. Things seem to be OK, although I did find a packet of heroin and an old coke can, which had been used to smoke something on. I confronted him about it and he said it was old stuff he had found whilst clearing out the shed (which is where he would get his fix from previously). When I asked why he had not thrown it out he said he was going to give it to a friend. With friends like that who needs enemies! Anyhow I had already thrown it away. So apart from that little incident everything is calm. I do go through his shed at least once a day to see if I can find any evidence and I am watching his mannerisims all the time we are talking. I still do not believe that he is off the stuff, and I don't think I will completely for at least 1 year. He has lied to me on so many occasions that it is hard to trust again.
On a lighter note I took the little ones and the dog to a wildlife park on Saturday. The dog was feeling very pleased with himself after barking at a roaring lion and a rhino. However jumping in with the otters was his downfall and I only just managed to drag him out by his lead before the little otters got too attached to his legs! He was suitably sorry after that and was quiet the obedient dog. We then went to the gift shop and my little boy bought a magic wand and a whoopee cushion (which I think he was more pleased with than seeing all the lovely animals - even crocodiles) and my girl bought a zebra pencil case and some galaxy chocolate.
All in all things are good, but never letting your guard down is a tiring business
