I called a friend last night after posting and he told me I was highlighting their insecurities by quitting and I was better off without them. So... great minds think alike, right? Thanks, TSH.

Spark is right, too. The only thing I have ever done around one of them is get wasted. I don't think I have ever hung out with him when either of us are sober. I think underneath all the drugs and booze he could be a great guy and I see glimpses of it once in a while. The other one is newer to drugs and frankly if I want to hang out with her for more than an hour or so I need to be drunk. That said, when she was thinking about going over there last night I told her we could go do something drug- and alcohol-free so she wouldn't feel pressured to go over there. We see what she chose.
