I know its not as easy as it sounds but that's just the scope. I really don't buy the idea of you avoiding the company of those who fall victim of addiction.... No, that isn't how to eliminate the terror of been addicted.That only shows you aren't prepared to quit. perhaps,you think while in their company, you would be tempted to try it once more.If you run now, you run forever. Never mind if you are the only one that thinks addiction isn't fare... always face it at any circumstances.Stick to your point at anytime... then, you are a winner. If you do have friends that are addicted, get close to them (that is, if you wish them a better life)... The first step about quitting for good is “making up your mind”….

Likewise, we shouldn't hold anything back with God, but learn to share ourselves "warts and all". As a psychiatric nurse practitioner and therapist, I appreciate patients who can be bold enough to take this step and my work is made easier. Good luck everyone.
