would you date a girl that.....
 

has abused drugs, spent 5 months in rehab and keeps referring to herself as 'an addict' .

No?

it's my ex wife, thinking of dating her again....she abused coke for a while, fucked herself up good.

I wouldn't touch her with a 10' pole.

why not?

No one here is going to know if it's right for you or not.

Are you really asking me why I would not date my drug addicted <b>ex-wife</b>?

:helpme

once an addict always an addict or what?

It appears you want to date her and are looking for validation... so here you go:

Go ahead -- date her and have fun!

:thumbsup

Hopefully she's cleaned up and that was the only reason for the divorce, but I suspect it wasn't. If that is the case and you want to make a run at it go ahead.

I personally wouldn't consider dating an ex-wife, so the addict part is just the icing on the cake.

only for sex

No

dont think so, or she has to be really hot and do anal

Once you've been hooked on hard substances, you will always remain a potential addict for the rest of your life.

If she is serious about quitting and making the changes in her life, this maybe the ideal opportunity to restart a relationship that would probably exceed the positives that the first one offered.

Being with somebody who is self developing and reinventing can be pretty exciting stuff :2 cents:

no thanks

depends, do you like her? is she off the drugs? can she keep of them for real? also does she give you great sex?, if yes then go along and see what happens :Graucho

Strongdong, how long have you and your ex been apart?

IF YOU HAVE TO ASK THIS QUESTION HERE YOU REALLY SHOULD NOT BE DATING ANYONE.

Anyone who has spent 5 months in rehab and still rfers to themselves as an addict is subliminaly telling themselves that they haven't changed at all.

It s probably only subcoincious and im sure she doesnt realise it - but at the end of the day she is giving herself a green light to go straight back to drugs.

Psych 101.

I wouldn't do it if I were you - but I'm not . so it's your choice,
but thats what I think.

She will create problems if she keeps referring to herself as 'an addict'

If you met her today as if it were the first time, (exclude past history) is she somone you would want to date?
Would you date a person with the same past as your ex?

Love screws with everything.
Everyone has their limits, keep true to what yours are.
Are you going to be happy to be with her, or feel better without having her in your life?

Eventually you will talk your self into doing what you want which is always the best course, cause at least then you will know who to blame or thank for the decision ;). My only advice would be to go to where she had rehab, and see what they say you are in for...

Subliminally telling? It's blantantly saying what they are. I'm sure youve heard this somewhere before in some movie-"Hi i'm John and I'm and alcoholic" Admitting the prob is the way to accepting themselves, then choosing to act otherwise. :)

P.S. For anyone that might fall off the wagon, please don't flush or pour anything down the drain, i will provide you with an address to send it to :wink (GFY is not good for personal advice)

it would depend on the girl and you never know until you start that journey!

NO!
"Drugs are Bad Mmmkay!"
"Smokers are Jokers"
"Users Are Losers!"

Depends on the girl - at least she sounds like she's trying to deal with it...

Up to you mate, might be high maintenance in the future...

According to most 12 step programs, you're always an 'addict' or an 'alcoholic' or whatever. The person going through the program will always refer to themselves as such as a reminder of their problem so that they don't slip back into it.

I would never meet such a girl.
She would only makes trouble.

No way

don't think so...

i wouldn't, personally i don't date people who do drugs

Depends on the sort of realtionship you want.
If you an addict yourself...go for it....

Hard to tell not knowing anything about you....

Hell no.... He will most likely steal from you to feed her addiction

I agree with a big HELL NO get the fuck out of there as fast as you can man.....

It's your choice man. I wouldn't.

hide your good china and cash cuz she'll get an urge one day and need some loot.

heeeeelll no

your choice but i would not date /

Yeah right... imagine that!

nope, wouldn't touch it

The only 'addiction' i have is to work (webmastering is:thumbsup ) ....I do not consider myself an addict and can't really understand how someone can become one. I don't really know what to think....the only thing that comes to mind right now is the first time I saw her after her 5 month rehad and she told me ' i am an addict ' it made me uneasy. Oh, and she was and still is looking hot... :eatmouse

no
