[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not allow my kids near a drug addict. [/quote] Even a sober addict? Because my husband, with multiple years of sobriety, still considers himself an addict, as does his sponsor, who hasn't done drugs in 39 years.[/quote] I suppose some people might say no addicts, ever, but personally I'd be okay with my kid being around someone who is sober and has been sober for at least a couple of years with no lapses. And I'd be laxer if I were present. I mean, I grew up with functioning alcoholics in my extended family, and I certainly spent time around them at family events, but my mom didn't have those people babysit me. I'd have less of an issue having lunch in a restaurant with an addict (unless he was actually high at the time) than with the constant profanity in front of a kid, which (1) doesn't really have anything to do with his addiction and which (2) even the most potty-mouthed adult should know is not okay.
