I’m with a drug addict (weed, cocaine and pills) we not dating we are just together, but besides he doing drugs he does pretty good in life, already graduated college and everything. My family will kill me if they find out what I’m doing. He never ask me to do drugs neither
I'm also recovering it's hard to be around anyone who does anything without temptation to relapse but then it's difficult to find anything to do or go that temptation isn't there. People who aren't abstinent can't understand the difficulty either it sucks
I grew up with an alcoholic father. I am not a drinker. A six pack can last me 3 months. I will not choose an active addict as I know the hell life will be. An exe addict would be a big question mark as there is no real ex addicts, just actively sober ones.
But I could live a 100% sober life if my partner needed me to. Substances just are not that important to me.
I have my own views on sober living, and they usually offend people. So no. Not because of the person, but because of that.
So, ya know, disclaimer here.
Now if we're both trying to hold each other accountable while we master proper self control as a team, that sounds like a wholesome relationship to me.
Sobriety always seems like not growing, but to each their own.
I would be 100% ok with it. Personally I dont drink and tend to be the sober one most of the time. But being with a recovering addict wouldn't bother me at all. If they relapsed I would help them threw it as much as I can
I might. It depends on how far into recovery they are. If they just started, I wouldn't date them but I would be their friend and encourage them to get better.
I think "addiction" can't be a reason that can block me from dating someone if I really like her!
If you are really into someone you can accept everything (almost)
In my life I changed my mind many times for relationships... 😊
I like this answer. I have also changed my mind a million times in life. Just trying to make the right choices and grow. Thanks for the input
Substances are not important to me. As long as they’re putting the work in to be healthier people, I’m comfortable giving dating a normal shot.
If the sex is good, the guy will not care whether you drink smoke do drugs or not. Hell it might be even better it will save us money on bar nights
I think addictions are childish shit
can't handle life like every other adult, grow up!
No i would not date them
a year of being clean is good... although it's always a risk... but i'd consider a year of being clean.
No I Wouldn't. I Have Never Been In They Position To Understand The Effects And Trauma. It Can Be Easy For Some Or A Revolving Door And That's What I Would Not Want To Endure.
I could not. After watching my brother go through his addiction, I don’t think I have the capability to not lose myself in the other person.
no for I would be afraid that he would abuse me and harm me or kill me
Interesting answer... the stigma is rough. Lol pretty sure we wouldn't kill you.
I would try but it’s depends on if he will to quit for rest of his life and fighting for it. I would date sex addiction 😂 (Kidding) LOL
No way.
Most never get free and many relapse and many have prostituted themselves before which is a lifetime deal breaker.
I did once. He was in recovery. Never again. Relapse broke my heart and his.
That's sad. I hope he finds his way back
I spoke to this dad this year. Apparently he's clean now. Helping his mum who has MS. But his dad didn't know the depth of it. I pray for him a lot. Beautiful soul.
Awe.. I hope he is okay. Maybe you can see how he is doing? It takes a lot of work to care for a disabled parent. Maybe he is well.
No. I couldn't. Too much baggage.
been through all when i was younger, trying everything is a good experience.
So if she can't do it. it's not that she can't but don't want to.
I would not date or even sleep with anyone who does drugs or drinks alcohol. Ok, maybe I'll sleep with them but I would not date them, no offense!
With that being said, I've done many things that I thought I would never ever do, so...🤷
I’ll pass. Drugs and alcohol are a big no no from me. I don’t want to deal with their relapses.
