Question by laila: What are the odds that a 10 year heroin addict is able to quit drugs?
I met a wonderful guy at a hospital. He wants a serious relationship and i have just split up with my husband of 6 years. I really like him!!! He also told me that the reason for his hospital stay was a 10 year drug addiction. He is trying to quit. Do you think it is possible? should i even start a relationship based on this info?
