Drug addicts

i dunno, every person is different in how they act and deal with addiction.

i'm currently dating a recovering alcoholic. i like him enough to stick around, i used to smoke 420 every day for over two years until i moved down closer to where he is and my best friend. i've been mostly clean now that we are dating, since i know it's a big thing that their significant other be clean too.

i have a lot of empathy and he says i have a lot of patience and that i'm so good to him. i know it can be hard on the person recovering, the loneliness, how they think no one understands and the immense pressure it is being in a program that seems like they are too hard on you or it's your life in jail...but it doesn't have to be, i try to let him vent. i'm not perfect either and some times i mess up and he gets upset, but i know we all have room to grow and can say we can do stuff without the help of drugs and alcohol. create goals together. etc.

i hope anyone out there reading really listens when i say YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU <3

I think that's great that you were able to overcome that, but I don't think I could ever date someone who is. My dad was an addict, and I'm basically a teetotaler in terms of all drugs.

Sad. Drugs are way overrated, nothing but a poor substitute for real achievement.

Go out and do something to find profound happiness. Best drug there is.

Remember: Work is its own reward.
