Reconciliation with a Friend
In 2024, I cut off one of my best friends. He had been drunk driving, doing drugs, acting disrespectful towards me and others, and I decided that this was not the kind of behavior I wanted to surround myself with. My ex pressured me into blocking him, I think I would’ve just went radio silent. It’s been a few years now, and I’m honestly in a great position in life - I’m about to graduate with a master’s, I have a very solid job, I work out and I very rarely drink. The most I’ve heard about him is from another friend that he’s become deeply addicted to gambling, is drinking all the same and is pretty much ruining his life. A part of me misses him and wants to make amends, but at the same time the very reason why I cut him off still exists - behavior that isn’t healthy to be surrounded with. What should I do?
