I also sometimes give the keys to my meds to my wife, but I do find it kind of degrading. Plus that lock is so flimsy I could probably get it open if I really wanted. My therapist and Pdoc want me to do this, so sometimes I do it and sometimes I just say I did.
One other thing I like to do is whenever I read books I mark parts that I find helpful, and then I can re-read those when needed.
