He has A LOT of issues.
And yah - sure they can be worked on. Of course they can. People do it everyday.
I just think you're putting a lot on the line for a person you have only known for 6 weeks. Not even 6 months. In the grand scheme of things, not really a long time to "know" someone. Let alone an addict.
I'd be treading very carefully is all.
eyes wide open.
