Think its wrong that I'm going to avoid my substance addicted friend?
Why do you want to avoid your friend?
I don't believe in substance addiction
I'm sure your friends substance abuse bothers you, but you shouldn't neglect them in their times of need. Ignoring your friend will probably only make them feel more isolated and may make their addiction worse.
Sounds like a plan. I'm still staying away from him so he can pull himself together.
No I think you misunderstood. I think you need to be part of his life and help him out and not just leave him alone like you are planning.
