My sister wants to see where her relationship with her son's dad can go. They are both "recovering" drug addicts. (At least this week they are) But what are the possibilities of it actually working out?

Watch the end to Chris Rock's BIGGER AND BLACKER... this is a Huge part of his stand up routine...
I think if they are both FOCUSED on the RECOVERY... they can be a great support system... however, if either or both are not committed... then they will be using again before you know it!
Make sure to support your sister... at least with the drug habit - that is really what she needs to help herself get clean!
Good Luck!

I don't think someone can "abuse" drugs and have a successful life. There is a difference between use and abuse. People can recreationaly use drugs and be completely normal. Say smoking weed a few times a week. I know many people who you could never tell smoke weed. They are happy normal people with normal lives and normal relationships. If the guy can put her first and drugs second then he can responsibly have both. But if his whole life revolves around drugs and he lies to do them than its a problem. There is a difference between having a relationship and making time for drugs than doing drugs and making time for a relationship. It also depends on the girl. Drugs like weed are relatively harmless. If they are both on the same page than great. If she hates it he needs to give up drugs or the girl. Its different from person to person. Hope this helped

If there both on drugs, it's not going to work. In if one is sober in the other a user. The one who is sober is going to get tried of the bull. Or try to stick it out to help the user. One of them will leave. In if they are both trying to stay clean, it could work. You never know it depends how seriously they are with each other and raising there kid together. And if there in recovering that means that there going to meetings and being around people who are now sober. In that's a good thing. But if they don't go they won't get the help they need. Sometimes a person can be sober for a long time in backslide I seen it happen. Try to help them. Ask them about going to a meeting. Maybe you should go with them.A drug addict is sick.In it's not a funny thing. They need it like medic an.Give them support, if you can.Most drug addict don't except it, but do the best you could. Ask God to help.

it all depends
were they a good couple before the drugs were on the scene?
if so then yes, im sure with support they can beat the habbit and have a happy life.
but if it was the drugs that got them togethor then i dont think they have a chance in hell.
they should focus on gettin clean, and giving there son a stable and happy life, regardless of them being togethor.
it also must be hard for you to sit in the sidelines and watch all this going on around your nephew, all you can do is be strong for him and let him know that you will always be there for him.
i wish you luck, and hope everything turns out well

I'd say slim to none. Simply because even if they were both sure that they would never touch drugs again, each person recovers at different rates, and while one person may be having an easy time of it one week, the other one might be struggling, which would plant the seeds of resentment.

Only if they are BOTH very very serious about recovery. However, judging by your tone you do not think that this is likely.
If they are not both completely committed to quitting. they will run into problems. Instead of supporting each other, when one breaks down and decides to start using again the other one will too. It is extremely difficult to recover while your partner gives up on recovery and continues using.

Wel...it's possible, I'm sure, but most likely it wont work too long. One of them will start using again....or both of them will. It will be a constant struggle. If they love each other enough, they will get through it. I just hope it doesn't hurt their children.

Slim.
The fact that she wants to "see where it goes" rather than making a commitment says a lot.
