Hubby and I ran into someone tonight that we haven't seen in a few years, a guy named Justin. He used to be one of hubby's best friends, but that was also during hubby's days as a drug addict. If I had never actually seen Justin doing drugs I would never have believed he did them. He was a very sweet guy who seemed to have his life together. He owned his own business, drove nice cars, was buying a house, was getting married...he just didn't seem like the kind of guy who was hiding in bathroom stalls to do drugs while out at the club. Unfortunately right after I found out he was a drug addict it all came crashing down on him. He ended up OD'ing, and he totally flipped out. That was about the time I was trying to get hubby away from his drug addict friends, so we didn't see him again.
Running into him tonight was nice. At first site of him I was thinking oh no, one of hubby's old drug buddies, but when Justin came over I could tell something was definitely different about him. We ended up talking for over an hour about how he went to drug rehab shortly after his incident, and he's been clean every day for 4 years now. It makes me feel good to run into people like that. It reassures me that drug rehabilitation does work if you set your mind to it.
