Usually, when an addict starts being "honest" about his/her using, you get only the tip of the iceberg. The best way to tell if an active addict is lying? Her lips are moving! And if she's smoked pot, it is only a matter of time until she is right back to doing the whole thing. I would get some distance, if it were me, and I'd never agree to live with an addict who isn't going to meetings at least a couple of times a week. Even if they've been clean for decades. Me and my bf are both in recovery and we both go to several meetings a week, and we also do a lot of other work in the program, sponsoring other addicts, service work, etc. We couldn't make it without our program, and each of us is feeling miserable and is also miserable to be around if we miss our regular meetings much!
