He had terrible drug problems at the time and all of his friends (used to be my friends) became big time losers with even worse drug problems. Well, I relationship spiraled out of control and we finally ended it on terrible terms.I insisted on never speaking to him again because of all of his drug and friendship problems. (I wasn't the picture of health either!) We were partners in crime and he mostly influenced me to be drunk every time we were together (romantically). But a friend of mine called me up and told me out of the blue that he joined some program that goes to underdeveloped impoverished countries. He helped build homes and educate impoverished children. While away from him I got my life back together too and I am so happy to see that one of the most selfish people I had ever known radically changed and was doing for others.I want to contact him and congratulate him on his hard work. I want to from a friendship point of view. I am so happy and excited for him. But I don't know if it is appropriate.
