Hi All,
I’m a new member to this app and just thought I would take a minute to introduce myself and ask if anyone can share their experience of this app and if possible any suggestion on handle a long term relationship with someone who was in recovery with you but has recently taken up smoking weed.
Thank you !

Hey Katie, I've talked to people, read tons of lit on addiction. There are no magic words. Even myself can only empathize with what is going on with your friend. I have 2 friends that can't seem to go much more than a week without stumbling. We can only be there when it happens and needed. I know that's what saved me. I had that 1 friend who was always there.
I will pray for you both

Thank you and I agree but I have also attended a CoDependency, Alanon and Double Winners meeting and I definitely think them to be beneficial but right now I know my main focus has to be on my own recovery.
Thanks so much for caring enough to comment. I appreciate your time.
Thanks so much grateful to be a part of the community
I read about codependency. I don't see myself as a codependent but don't know enough about there family life to say if it's happening. I will look into Double Winner and Alinon. I go to AA but I'm mixed on it.
You have to take care of yourself first or you can not truly help another I believe that. That's why I still look for answers.
I'm getting old but not grizzled so I do care and I'm always around

Hello and welcome Katie! I’ve found this app to be very beneficial for the most part. There are a lot of great people here with a lot of great things to say. And this app seems to fill the gap in between meetings during those quiet times. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It must be difficult. Just keep doing what you’re doing and be there. We have to give it away to keep it. But remember your sobriety comes first. We have to maintain our our healthy and well defined boundaries. With a little luck and a lot of faith everything will work out exactly as it should! Thoughts and prayers are with you!!

Grateful for your feedback and really appreciate the offer Charlie and I also need to myself is codependent until I lost my son, and now I see where we have started to enable one another, and become very codependent
I easily see and understand how that can happen. We have a want and need for companionship especially when life turns on us.
Well I'm on the east coast and have work in the morning. I will say good night for now
