Girls: Would You Date an Ex-Drug Addict?

Question by Alora: Girls: Would You Date An Ex-Drug Addict?
We’re both only 17 and I’m a good girl, I don’t drink or do any kind of drugs. There is this guy I like and he’s so sweet but he used to be hooked on drugs. And its wasn’t just weed and alcohol, he did real bad stuff like shrooms, PCP and cocaine. But he realized that these drugs were taking over his life and he stopped everything and he’s been clean for 6 months. Today though I found out from his friend that he likes me a lot and has had a crush on me for 2 years but he has a big anxiety problem and couldn’t tell me and he’s been depressed for a while, part of the reason why he started doing drugs. Also he has a history of severe child abuse and neglect so that explains the other part.

He wasn’t doing them to have fun or party, he just did it to escape from reality and his pains. He’s still a virgin and hasn’t done anything with another girl and he’s hoping he could share the experience with me and lately he’s been making it known that he really likes me. I really like him too its just the fact that he did so many drugs scares me and makes me think of him as a bad person. However he’s actually really nice and treats me with respect. I’m so confused, I don’t know what to do what should I do?

heres a question… why wouldnt you date him? you said he stopped and treats you nicley…. so why wouldnt you give him a chance? because he did ” bad” things in the past.

im sorry if this sounds sarcastic, its not ment that way im serious. if you have a problem with his past then dont but if you still care for him regardless of his past just try it out

I would, It comes to show that he is a strong person because he over came his drug problem. It’s a very hard thing to do, and I give him props for being clean. I think you should think about the drug addicts that don’t want to stop, or can’t stop because it’s too hard, then think about how he got rid of his addiction. Give him a shot.
