My counselor told me like this. They are your using friends Krissy they use with you and use you for drugs. That is soooo true. I have very few friends left the ones I do are real friends and have never used or have used but are clean now. I hated the thought of having to make all new friends. I think I will just keep the few I have and not worry about it.
You did a good thing deleting those so called friends as you say, they know you were miserable using as they are too, and they want you in the same boat........what kind of friend is that?
We have to get new friends.......one's that don't use and that is the only way we can win at this horrible game of being an addict.
Good luck.

Have you ever heard the song "I'm Movin' On" by Rascal Flatts? I'll try to post the link but not sure if this forum allows links. If not go listen on YouTube.

you make a lot of sense... there is only a way to stay on this path and this is without people that are using or can be dangerous for us, well done. Hope your friend will find his way too...
Good for you on getting rid of the so called friends. Most of the people i had to let go are still using and it is really sad to see but i am what is important. Hopefully at some point your friend will find his way and get clean. sara
So true. Im in a small town and I swear people would be amazed with how many people use here and Ive found they are all waiting to jump on your weakness. Its like doing good is a threat and they want to hold you down with them. I also have let many many friends and numbers go that have been around with me since high school days. Right now I have about two people I could actually call a true friend. Similar situation with one of them as well as I believe he still uses, but is well aware of his problem and has been extremely supportive of what Im doing and would never do anything to ruin it. I believe this was one of my biggest steps forward in recovery and would be nearly impossible without doing. Ive been told theres lots of great people out there and I have just been involved with the wrong crowd for too long to see it and I agree. Cheers to new friendships.
