Would you date someone with a history of addiction? We all have different feelings about addictions, and different histories with addictive substances. We don’t believe that struggling with addiction is a moral failing that makes you a bad person, but we do know that addictions impact relationships in big ways, and should be taken seriously. People who have addictions deserve love just like anyone else, but there are some parts of addiction that need to be taken into account when starting a relationship with someone.
