End of a friendship

I had a close friend who was still using drugs, she was living in a shelter, she asked me if she could stay over my house because the elevator was out in her shelter, at first I said yes, but then I felt uncomfortable, me and my roommate made up a story that we weren’t going to be home so she couldn’t stay here. I felt really bad about lying to her. I guess I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. She was very mad at me and basically I decided we it’s better for me to end the friendship. Did I make the wrong decision by ending the friendship?

You have to think about you and your recovery. Sometimes we have to let go of people and things in our new journey in life it might hurt for a moment but it will pass I had to let go of family members who I loved dearly but there was no way I was going to jeopardize my SOBRIETY. So to answer your concern NO you was not wrong because you decided to put your SOBRIETY first. I commend you for that but at the same time part of recovery is HONESTY if a person cannot accept our honesy about anything that affects us then we have to move on with our lives. We are important today. Remember to stay on FIRE for your recovery and always continue to stay HUNGRY for your SOBRIETY have a bless and safe week :pray:
