recovering addict here, it is so hard to fight the urge to use when it hits. when i first got sober, i felt i NEEDED help cause i didn't want to take any chances on getting caught with an urge that i couldn't shake. i had to ask someone to drive me to the corner store or ride with me, i HAD asked someone to hold my money for me, i would not leave the house until somebody did. i was just plain afraid that i might used and that i maynot be strong enough to "just say no". i felt that i wanted to make myself accountable and i just did not trust myself. it is very hard for a newly recovering addict to not use. in time, i slowly felt more comfortable doing what i needed and wanted to do for myself and on my own.


i think, if its not a inconvenience, and if it your motives are pure, then it would be good if you could take him but, only when its convienent for you, otherwise, he can see if he can find someone in the meetings to make himself accountable to.
