What your roomie is doing is "sucking up" to you. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!! He may indeed feel guilty for what he has done, but it will not stop him from doing it again in the very near future.

The only way he can guarantee his sincerity is to put himself into rehab or NA and dumping ALL his friends that are associated with his drug use. Otherwise, you are looking at losing more than just your $250.

And I wouldn't just "hide" your valuables, I would remove them entirely from your residence. Seriously! Do you really think that he would not stoop to go hunting for them when you are not around?

An addict's mind is on one thing only - AND IT AIN'T YOUR WELFARE, NOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP that he is concerned about. You will lose this game. He has already lost, but he can (and will) take you down much farther than you ever thought possible.

Watch yourself, Rainbowzz!
