Would you date an addict?

Would you date someone who is a drug addict? Does it depend on the drug they are addicted to or would that not matter at all? Would you try to encourage them to recover before dating them?

What about a recovering drug addict?

Please explain!:sunny:

 

No i wouldnt date an addict they would probably steal my money and lie to me all the time. Thats just my personal opinion though.
Dating a recovering addict on the other hand, maybe. It woul be nice to help them through there journey

 

I wouldn't.
It's not something I am willing to deal with, I don't need or want problems or drama, especially in a relationship.

 

I have, several times in fact. But i never asked myself "mm am i gonna date this addict?", i just started going out with them simply because i liked them a lot.

I think subconsciously i (used to) like being people's nurse, helping them recover and whatnot, which is weird cuz it's not fun at all.

 

No i wouldn't date an addict.
Theres a certain few drugs that if people use them then i simply just won't go around them. Now a recovering addict is a possibility.

 

only if it was from nicotine (lol)...other than that simply no, they are people that need help and special treatment and i am not into that, they are more than what i could handle and i am not so kind, truth is i prefer people that are okay with their lives and just with regular and ordinary problems.

 

When you say addict and don't specify certain things, my mind wonders, people are not just addicted to drugs mate. So it would heavily depend on what they're addicted to.

As for dating a drug addicted in recovery, i wouldn't. I like to drink and toke every now then, and i would hate to compromise my fun when I don't want to. Then again, i don't define people as addicts, just individuals...so who knows maybe, especially if she likes my cooking!

 

Well I would give them a chance as obviously I liked them to begin with, also depends what kind of addict, b/c I'm an adict of the MJ after all and a few drinks every now and then.

I guess depends on the circumstances

 

NO

 

if someone had an addictive personality, no absolutely not... I've been there before, it's not worth it...

 

No, I have children to worry about.

 

pot, caffeine, or maybe nicotine i think i could live with. otherwise, i can't think of any other drugs that i could put up with an addict of.

recovering... i dunno. i guess it's not out of the question, but not super likely either.

 

Most Certainly NO.

Over The Years I Have Friends Who Have Done This

Against All Advice, And In EVERY CASE They Lost

Thousands Of Dollars And Possesions....

Guess Some People Have To Learn Their Lesson The Hard Way....

Nobody in their right maid should date a drug addict.

 

No I wouldn't my previous experience was horrendous I will not go into details about the drug that controlled his mind but I will state that the hand shakes, twitching, paranoia, and fear for the law made it impossible for a healthy relationship, you will never be their priority and you will never make them truly happy. You can attempt to make them quit but that will only hurt their ego if their not willing to admit to their addiction. But then again you might have a strong influence in their life... good luck

 

Recovering maybe not an addict who's not in recovery cAuse I need to be the only one u love

 

If it was marijuana or cigarettes then possibly; If he shares his weed, that is.

However, I would only date a pot-addict if it's not something serious. If all he does is get stoned all day, there's obviously no future in it, and he can't be all that responsible of a person.

 

i was infatuated with an addict, probably still am - but i removed her from my life. i don't think i would like to date an addict. far too unreliable and change too quickly and in opposite polarity

 

whenyou say drug addict you are leavinga huge gap for interpretation. A crack addiction is a hell of a lot worse than an addiction for opiates or any other thing. yes addiction is a bitch but i personally wouldnt date a recoverin addict, you are taking the risk of bein on an unstable relationship. It wouldnt be smart for anyone, and unless you are fully recovered you may wanna reconsider dating as addiction omes before anything else. It woul totally depend on how recovery is, i would date someone who is deep in. i have an adictive personality and its easier to drag someone down then to pull someone up. LOVE YOUR SELF BEFORE OTHERS.

 

*wouldnt date someone deep in***** correction
