I would like to reply on this topic as well.I'm dealing with issue concerning a friend that is very controlling that I met many years ago in highschool.We became friends and abused drugs together.We remained friends through the years off and on.I feel the only common thing bonding us was getting high together.I've chosen now 24 days sober so far and counting, to sever the ties of friendship.I feel he is very controlling and does not accept feelings.I did not tell him anything, i just decided to remain silent and shun him.He has repeatedly called and come to my door.I told my son to tell him when i'm ready to speak with you i'll call you.He still called and came by.I feel I owe him no explanation to my actions.A real friend would accept what I desired for the time being.I had to get call blocking to make him realize I meant it.I feel I am growing in a new direction and I need new friends and new paths.Am I wrong to feel this?
