Him and his wife are both recovering from being drug addicts a few weeks ago, which i admire. However, im having a hard time justifying if i should help him or not, since i wanted to use him for some minor contracting work i need done. However, he's not the most reliable man, and he has a lot of issues with anger management, temper, swearing, etc. Not that he isn't a nice guy, but part of me wonders if this is a good idea, or if he needs more time to get his crap together.

I employ quite a few addicts, if you can get accaptable work out of them do it when you can. But you cant ever put yourself in a position where you are totally relying on them.

Drunks yes, they're better than addicts, they don't have to steal and do illicit stuff to get their 'fix.'

Any addict can cause issues. I manage the couple addicts I have by not over working them, and informing them in advance of days that they cant be fucking around. It works pretty well.

They do dope, or alcohol? It's great that you can handle them, I certainly wouldn't, too risky, but if it works for you that's great, hope it stays that way.

I find that the drinkers are okay until about 3 in the afternoon, then they start getting itchy to start drinking. But none of them have ever come to work drunk (that I know of or remember).

They should really appreciate you, they can get a leg up by your kindness.
