i know it's supposed to be this hard-won HEA second chance romance but i'm struggling. do i even want them together? maybe it's bc noah reminds me of my own manipulative exes but i just. i don't like him. and him returning all 'better' two years later having 'dealt' with his addiction problem? how? he still smokes weed and limits himself to 2 beers. just bc it's no longer hard drugs doesn't mean it's not drugs idk

As someone who is a recovered addict, addicts can get better & many do recover. A lot of time they can drink occasionally without returning to hard drugs. Saying addicts can’t truly get better reinforces stigma and hopelessness. :(((

that's definitely not what i was saying, sorry if it came across like that! i don't have any issues at all with him drinking, i merely mentioned it as his own rules. what i don't, personally, like is how he continues with weed. i know many many people recover, but continuing with 'smaller' drugs feels to me unnecessarily risky! but maybe that's also me living in a country where weed is still illegal. 🤷♀️ when he already struggled so much with leaving it behind, and hurt the mc so much with it, i wouldn't be comfortable (if i was the mc) to get back together with him if he was still on any kind of drugs (unless medical).
