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 wouldn't, but that's just me. I have had friends do work for me who didn't have the added bonus of being recovering addicts, and each time there were things that I wasn't satisfied with, and that left me with a bit of a problem: Do I want to risk losing my friendship with this person, or just suck it up and make do with what they've done? Two times was enough for me to never do business with friends again, it simply isn't worth it. Considering that you haven't yet even hired this guy, and you already have some issues, I would stay far away from having him do actual work if it were me making the decision.
