I Think My Friend is Relapsing?
I am feeling really sad. My best friend in recovery has stopped attending meetings. Her life looks ok from the outside so who am I to say she still needs to attend meetings? I don't think she's relapsed in terms of going back to active addiction. I don't understand why she doesn't want to be part of the group anymore. I don't understand why she doesn't stay in touch with me or other recovery friends anymore. I feel afraid to bring any of this up with her. I want to keep the friendship, yet I don't think the relationship is good for me right now. I have never been in this situation before. I read once that when a person's words and actions don't match it doesn't mean I am crazy, it means there's a discrepancy. I am struggling to be a good friend, live and let live, take care of my own needs, be nonjudgmental, step out of denial re how the relationship affects me...to balance it all. Anyone been here before and have wisdom to share? Thanks for listening.
