As to your question about the likelihood of him staying sober while hanging out with junkie friends, it is highly unlikely.

I remember falling in love with my qualifier and how powerful all the emotions were. It was very hard to go no contact but the best thing for me. However I have to admit, it took many tries before I went no contact and made it stick.

For those of us who are truly codependent, the addict is like a drug. We try to moderate; give it another try and cave in to their requests again and again. It is truly difficult.
