You should remove yourself from the environment. True friends would respect your actions and want to be supportive.

Congrats on detoxing! Thats a very hard thing to do. Even though its hard, sometimes we have to cut off people who are a bad influence on us. Or ask them to not when you are around?

I think you should distance yourself, this does not mean that you have to cut friendships, but let them know that you are there for them if they ever feel strong enough to give up drugs, and that they can turn to you for support as you have climbed that hill. Well done, giving up drugs is not easy. Keep up the good work.

Take yourself from that environment. Its hard to let go of friends but sometimes its for the best. A real friend should know not to do drugs around you because it's not helping you.

Sometimes it's best to cut toxic people our of your life, maybe it's time to move on from that era in your life and make things better for yourself. I believe in you.

I would either: a) Stop hanging around with them or stop being with them while they are doing drugs, this can be peer pressure. b) Talk to them about your issue. Tell them that you've just been to rehab and would rather not be around it as you wouldn't like to have the temptation to start the drug again. If they are good friends, they will understand your reasoning for you not being around them or talking to them about not doing it around you :) Hope all goes well.

Changing people, places, and things is a very very important part of recovery! You will need to get away from anybody or anything that has drugs or reminds you of drugs!

I would keep away from your friends when they do drugs and explain to them that you want to keep clean
