Well my husband was considering trying to not see them but when he told them (over message) that he plans to quit they have started talking about supporting him and they would like to quit too, which on the surface sounds good, of course, but in reality means it’s less likely to work as it would be all the same places, situations and triggers which have led to him doing it. I’m not sure he can completely avoid them all anyway, a few work at the same place and he’s not about to change his job as he’s worked hard to get where he is and earns good money. Really his work place has a lot of people using substances and they do have a drug policy and drug testing but an addict will always find ways around this won’t they.
