Online, yes, but in real life, no, because the addiction would not allow a real friendship.

You must have had junkie friends in the past then.

@SvanThor: I've known a lot of people along the way, and maybe a handful were junkies. Having been sober myself for several years now, I know that the disease of addiction is what controls the junkie. So a real friend isn't always trying to borrow money, nor does one have to worry about their things being stolen from them if they leave their "friend" alone in a room. Those types of things are not possible with someone who is strung out, but I know it's the disease and not the person.
