<human>: I recently met a guy [M32] that I really like through some new friends. We get along great and I love talking to him, but I'm a little wary of getting involved with him due to a number of things. He suffers from some pretty serious depression, which he is in therapy for. He is on disability because of this, which concerns me from a financial perspective, though I can certainly deal with this. The biggest thing though is that he told me yesterday that he is a recovering heroin addict, clean but I don't know for how long. I greatly appreciate his openness and honesty about his past, but of course it makes me nervous about what I may be getting into, mostly because I am afraid that he could start using again, and I have heard so many horror stories of how addiction has ruined the lives of not just addicts but the people who care for them too.

I don't want to write him off because he has baggage. He is a real person, not a one-dimensional label, and I believe that everyone deserves second chances. His friends (the ones I met him through) speak very highly of him and love him very much. However, I'm still very nervous about whether I'm setting myself up for heartbreak, or worse. I would really like to hear from anybody who has dated a recovered addict, and I'd also love to hear from someone who has gone through addiction. I guess what I want to know most of all is, can I trust him not to start using again?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I met a guy that I really like, found out he's a recovering heroin addict. I'm concerned about whether getting involved with him is a bad idea.
