H i I'm an ex h addict, the fact that he has been clean for 3 years is great, many that make it long do not go back the life su%ks and the withdraws are hell, Personally smoking a little bud as seldom as he dose is not something I would worry about. Give him a pat on the back and be happy for him, unless the bud bothers you? take care Limbo

It varies from person to person. Since he has been clean for that length of time and seldom does anything, I would give him props!! The factor of relapse depends on the person, the atmosphere they are in, and I also think that stress, etc. plays a major roll as well. Hope this helps!
