while waiting on dr office to open a man was waiting also so decided he started talking to me so the conversation goes on for 10 mins ,then he ask if it's OK to change ph no.i say why not it's just for friendship only or go drink a cup of coffee,I'm at dr ,sick with crud he is there broken down on the verge of losing his job due to stress,says it's not anything to do with drugs or alcohol,oh well I'm just so new to this all,I've never been able to go about nothing in the right way,I'm trying to keep it simple as can be he started texting my ph and calling ,being as respectful as can be ,he has 2 teens that he is raising ,wife left him with no help with her and his kids,just hope Im not to blinded to see any red flags and not know how to end it if so.scary ,but today I'm wanting to just be able to work on me ,and I guess having a friend of the opposite sex isn't wrong as long as I can keep myself grounded in my recovery and not get enmeshed in his stuff going on that being a fear to I'm just keeping it as friends I'm to easy in past history to fall weak ......hugs.   lu
