    Did you read the OP ?

    yea i did, the guy got engaged and is off the gear and he is engaged to a good looking women, but you are of the opinion that once a junkie always a junkie. But the man is clean the last 5 years, so what is your problem really?

    You really need to work on your motivational skills.
    You sound like a moaning Michael.

    Not at all, I'm delighted for him, maybe I could have phrased the op better though

    If you can figure out a way to become younger again, you might be on to a money spinner there.

    See the thing that most of us here are confused about is this.

    You say 'fair play' & 'once a junkie always a junkie' in the OP, on boards.ie.

    Why?

    Leave them alone. They're doing grand as far as we're concerned.

    Unless you have something more to tell.....

    Well op,you might be ok with seeing yourself as a junkie (or rather an addict with the possibility of relapse) but maybe your friend ain't so keen on the title you've given him. Best of luck btw.

    He'll always be a recovering addict, best of luck to him :) hopefully she supports him, makes him happy and is a positive influence for the rest of their lives.

    So a Mate of mine who's a Heroin addict just got engaged to a stunning looking Girl (not a junkie), now I should add that he's off the gear about 5 years now, but once a junkie always a junkie, and this lad wouldn't look out of place in the Adam & Paul film. But fair play to him for turning his life around. Just goes to show, there's always hope!

    I've read this a few times now and cannot work out whether you are happy or annoyed about it??
