oh yeah and the reason i mentioned the marajuana thing, which i now see i couldn't even spell two minutes ago, lol, is that he uses the drugs to be alone and introverted and withdrawn... i could easily point the finger at the drugs and say it is that that is ruining the relationship, but i know it is really the avp/schizoid stuff that is doing that - the need for withdrawal is already there, the drugs merely facilitate it

so there is dual diagnosis here - addiction and avp/schizoid

does this affect treatment? i guess it must
