Recovery: would you date someone in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction? (Page 3)

[markscott]

They would need to be a good ways into recovery. I would not date someone who is in early recovery.

[R_Cakes91]

I said no because I’ve already dated someone in this situation. It didn’t turn out well

[FSUfan87]

Reason I say this is while I'm not a recovering addict of drugs ( unless car audio is one) I would give it a chance but I'd have them teach me all the signs so if I do happen to fall in love with them I can help them be a better version of themselves

[josiexoxo]

Thats very sweet. Thanks for the feedback.

[Lightning8]

Love gets me high enough. I mean it's literally like an opioid drug itself. But we all have our faults and pasts. Addictions can get the best of us. Why not let love happen

[MidaBushka]

If he or she has a true ( will) to change I will be his or her true support

[Dav1ss]

I would if they were willing to date me then that's a good deal for me lol

[reptocarl]

Only if they’re active in a recovery program and have been clean for two years

[Exotica08]

Depends on the drug. I worry about hepatitis and HIV for needle users.

[KieranByrne]

Have mentality to carry! Kept a few people from consistently doing stupid things, although my mother likes to swig now and then!

[snoozey]

I'd wait until you are out of recovery. Recovery is time for you to focus on yourself, to better and reinvent yourself. Once you're in a good mental state and you're done with the program. Id give it a try.

[Wurdom]

I respect that they not only chose to fight their addiction but also beat it. I don't like to go out to drink so it wouldn't make a difference to me

[Anonymous]

Maybe. It’s kinda important tho not to have those kind of toxic relationships. If it’s not bad like that. Then sure. Why not.

[YHL6965]

If I love her, yes and I don't mind helping her getting better. She better be worth it though.

[neptune88]

No, but i will stay close to them to help them recover

[Lunatic1]

I would be fine with it, as long as I know they are past it. I would be willing to do things that don't require those things.

[steveRogers12]

Depends on where they are at now, but I really don't need alcohol so wouldn't miss if I couldn't have it around

[jesterly]

Honestly it depends. It depends on how long said couple has been together and how much they love and care about each other.

[Exorcist_Rampage]

Potentially. It all depends if I felt she was deeply serious about quitting drugs and what we had going on.

[coolhandroo]

That sounds like hell on earth. Alone or with a girlfriend. And if i must be lonely, I think id rather be alone

[Furuok]

Totally toxic! If she could resist my intoxications then super solid she could be? Money Well Spent why throw money in a hole with nothing but a hangover? No receipt no return.
