Question by : Drug addiction question?
I met someone from my church who is thirty-seven years old and is te sweetest person you could ever meet. I’m seventeen and I’m going on a vacation with my parents for one week to spend quality time with them before I go to college. Therefore, we need someone to watch my nine year old sister. Since we have no family that live near us, we thought the person from church would be a great choice, one of the reasons being she has offered. She is married but has no children. One thing worries me, though…she used to be addicted to Heroin. It was a strong addiction, too. She did it since she was around my age (I just met her about eight months ago, but she shared this story with the youth at church). Last year, she stopped and hasn’t done it since, or so she says. She really is a sweet, kind hearted person, but I’m worried about my sister being at a former Heroin addict’s house for seven whole days. I mean, een though she says she’s been clean for almost a year (which I believe), can she be trusted? She used to have everyone’s respect without even trying until they found out she did Heroin…now she has to gain everyone’s respect, if they’re willing to give it back to her. Is she responsible since she used to do Heroin? Will my sister be alright? I never told my family about it because I don’t want them to think differently of her. But, can she be trusted/responsible, or is this all a huge mistake? Also, my sister has ADHD and takes pills for it…will that be dangerous since this woman was a Heroin addict and she will have to give the pills to my sister?
