Life happens --friends relapse
for the first time in a long time one of my friends relapsed. my network almost exclusively consists of people with 1+ years of sobriety so everybody is solid. i do have one friend however who allegedly had 9 months and was arrested today on the west side of chicago. allegedly he was buying weed from an undercover cop. in that neighborhood people buy crack and heroin...not weed. so that was suspcious. than after talking to his GF i learned that she had found a crack pipe several months back. he was working service commitments, working steps, making meetings, etc. so i was under the impression he was working the program. most likely he had been using sporatically from time to time and finally got caught. its very sad. just goes to show you the importance of surrounding yourself with winners. im grateful to be sober today.
