ReplyDeleteI won't date someone with a history of drug abuse due to its negative implementations on relationships on social health
ReplyDeleteBut,do u even know one way or the other occasionally we abuse drugs prescribed by physician??take one pill and we take 2 with the mind set of quick relief so when we talk of drug abuse we all are victims to it
DeleteIt's not about not dating someone who abuses drug but rather educating my partner. If she listens, I will definitely continue with her.
ReplyDeleteCome to think about it , I may not even know the woman in view abuses any form of drug but trying to help her out will save her and those around her
I agree with u,because drug abuse is a social problem and education will be needed to curb it rather than ignoring
DeleteYes, I will
ReplyDeleteEveryone deserves a second chance

ReplyDeletePeople engage in various activities at different stages in life for reasons well known to them. Peer influence, inferiority complex, depressions and adventure just to mention a few. I would rather like to find out the cause or reason behind their actions and try as much as i can to help in a transformation and rehabilitation process with the person. Where is the love when we abandon a partner because they have a history of and addiction. I would rather date someone with drug addiction than a serial cheat.

Where is the love??? Thanks for the great input
DeleteA past problems with drugs wouldn't scare me from dating...... But will first have to do the necessary checks to know what led him into it.....we all have been abusing drugs in one way or the other..... What do you call the excessive paracetamol you take,buying drugs without prescription etc This are all drug abuse...love cure's all illness. with self determination and disciplinw l believe we can overcome it.....Good piece
ReplyDeleteExcellent input
DeleteOnce the addict is shown clean why not... Should be clean for loooonnnggg time though...
ReplyDeleteClean for a long time to exert clean stuff in you right??lol nice piece dear
DeleteOnce the addict is shown clean why not... Should be clean for loooonnnggg time though...
ReplyDeletei will date such a person,since its history and it shows the person is not in to it anymore.
ReplyDeleteNot considering the shame and in-human activities the person did while in the abusive stage?
DeleteWe would consult a clinical psychologist for a test on wether she has the tendency of relapse or not. If she has the tendency, we will seek further psychological treatment.
ReplyDeleteIf the situation persists for at least 12 months, I would explain to her the kind of risks and dangers we may be exposing our families to when either of the parent has the tendency to abuse drugs. I believe she will agree with me and the relationship will end with mutual consent.
She will be heartbroken ,considering her state of love and affection towards you and for her to know u giving up because of her past.
ReplyDeleteThis is a BIG one, first of all, what do we term as drug? Can food supplements also be drugs or we are limiting the argument to drugs with hard substances.
ReplyDeleteNow, to he main issue and my opinion the underlying word is love, love they say has no limit, that's why you at times wonder these drug addicts have lovers...birds with same feather flock together they say-- lifestyle. So if I am not a drug addict, why should i be in love in the first place with someone who is an addict? Somebody may say I can convert her but what about the ripple effects? I can't stand it.
Conclusively, I can not be in love or marry a drug addict due it its social, moral, health and economic disadvantages.
Apparently,the person is no more in to the abuse of drugs,will that make u consider being in a relationship with her??
DeleteI will ascertain her medical condition first.
ReplyDeleteI cannot date some one with the history of drug abuse due to lack of trust,cos even if they have been clean for months or years, are difficult to trust. For part of their lives, addicts have been consumed with obtaining drugs and finding money to pay for them, even if they swear they are clean, trusting them completely is going to take time, they also become experts at lying and making excuses about their whereabouts..
ReplyDeleteHmm,another angle of thought .Thats a deep one bro

ReplyDeleteDating someone who was once a drug addict
ReplyDeletewill depend if he is a born again Christian and has had professionally help.
It's normal for human nature to succumb to their vices one way or another even if they possess a strong will power.
I won't argue it varies but my condition would be him being prepared to seek professional help if he does have a relapse.

Thanks for your input
DeleteYes but it depends.
ReplyDeleteYes cos the past doesn't matter when it comes to dating someone u love
Thanks for your input
DeleteThe word here is 'history' so I have no problem with that. When that history turns into present I still don't have any problems with that because I will do my best to make my partner go through proper withdrawal stages from these drugs at the hospital. So I think we need rehabilitation centers in our communities. Atsu
ReplyDeleteThank u sir for ur view
DeleteI wouldn't say I will not date someone who has drug abuse history but will educate her on how to stop abusing herself
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input
DeleteNo i will not date a person with drug abuse history
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely NO! My level of tolerance can stand people like that, even though it might belong to the past.
ReplyDeleteHmmm
DeleteHmmm.....history is history. Provided it remains in the history books and not resurface in present times why not.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that someone was this way doesn't mean they can't be transformed. But if there are traces and the person is still hanging in there to the abuse then I won't consider the idea in the first place.
Thanks for ur input
