Distractions?

[pixiedust]

I have a question for everyone who is going through recovery, are family and friends more of a distraction or a blessing? My abf is struggling with addiction and is currently in jail, he may be going to a long term treatment center. I made a comment to another friend about abf and I remaining friends. She said she thought I would just be a distraction for him. We have kids involved in this so will probably keep in contact, but only if it doesnt hurt his recovery.
Any thoughts?

If you can be a positive suppoprting person where his recovery is concerned I do not see how you would be a "distarcation " for him.Furthermore you have kids together, seems to me the two of you are stuck with each other for a while.

Like Peter said if you can be a positive thing for him, Be there!!

No one knows about my meth habit, they knew 'something' was
wrong with me, but I don't know if they knew what....
But anyway,,,,,,, had they not been there, I don't think I would
have made it.

There are always times when we don't believe in ourselves, or we
think we can't do it, etc.....
Family/Friends can make a 'World' of difference.

I would have given up on life if it wasn't for the friends I have.
