      To be honest no i don’t think you are overreacting. At the end of the day he used to be an addict and that’s probably how it started just using casually. He could easily relapse. I hope he understands where your coming from your only concerned becauseyou love him and don’t want that life for him.

        Thank you for the reassurance. I only wish he could see it that way too, instead of saying that my attitude is the problem!

      No you can’t safely use again. Ever. It’s that simple

      Nope because part of stopping is realising and setting a notion in your brain that it’s wrong.

      If he starts doing it he’s believing he isn’t doing anything wrong.

      Look up “cocaine planned relapse” because that is what it is…
