But there are exceptions to every rule. There are people on this board who are MARRIED to spouses who are USING and still manage to remain in recovery. So if they can do it so can you!
Plus, your friend is trying to get clean too right? So, he's not actively using or in denial? So maybe this buddy of yours will end up being a great recovery buddy?
Just my two cents.
Yeah he is try with everything he has I just don't know how he will be I love the boy to death and we served together he was the one who drugg me out of harms way when I was hurt overseas that's were he got hurt saving my life I mean you name we have been through it together I just don't know I want to be of my doc and I wanna still be around him but I want of drugs more I am just so confused but you say the early stages he is good enough of a friend to understand but how long should I wait
