"Like any romantic relationship, dating a recovering addict can have its challenges. If you're realistic about what you can handle and what kind of support you can offer, chances are the qualities you're looking for in a partner can be found in a recovering addict just as easily as someone with no history of addiction.

Do

  • get the facts about their recovery

  • educate yourself about the disease of addiction

  • support their recovery program

  • know your limits

Don't

  • make snap judgments

  • rescue or enable

  • discount your own needs

  • ignore the signs of relapse"

I recommend checking out the recommended links for additional advice. I think you'll find some good unbiased answers there.

How do you tell your friends and family that you are dating a recovering drug addict if you have accepted this person into your life and all is going well?

My suggestion would be to not tell your friends and family members about this recovering drug addict until he fully recovers. Your friends and family would be more accepting and understanding if the person you were dating is now in good shape and is not still in need of professional help. It's a bad idea to tell you family and friends , " the guy I'm dating has problems and hes' a recovering drug addict ". It's just a turn off. But try to be careful around these people. Just because a person is recovering it doesn't mean they're cured of their problems.
