I find I can no longer allow toxic people in my life.
I am a recovering addict/codependent, and I can assure you that I used because I wanted to use.
His mother is an active addict, a sick person.
We addicts are very good about keeping enablers in our lives while we are using.
A strong word of caution too- I relapsed after 4 years clean/sober because I was with a man who relapsed after 2 years, and I went right down the tubes with him.
Today my recovery is precious to me, and I choose not to get/stay involved with an active addict.
That's a train wreck waiting to happen for me.
