Subsimmers advice needed

It is not often I ask nor need advice. I seem to have my life steered in the right direction but after tonight I am a bit perplexed. My good friend Dan I have known and hung out with for the past 8 months is a good guy. His wife left him for a co-worker 1 year ago and he has had a hard time letting go. He drinks more than he should but he has a beautiful 9 year old daughter that he worships the ground she walks on and over all he is a great guy.

Well at least that was my opinion of him before tonight's events. You see Dan is a recovering cocaine addict and has slipped up once in our friendship. I mean he has a stable job and loves his child and does well otherwise although I think he drinks a bit much on the nights he doesn't have his daughter and I know from conversation he is a bit lonely after 15 years of marriage. Tonight after drinking a bit with him at his house during the Cardinal\Green bay game he decided that he wanted to go to the bar. After the few minutes at the bar He decided he wanted to have a party.

At the party some guy showed up claiming he was on coke and exstacy and invited my friend to his house to do more. At that point I rudely intervened and set his priority's straight! Or so I thought.

A half an hour later he was gone to do what he shouldn't be doing. Later he show's back up and asks if I am cool with this guy coming over. I knew the guy was a coke dealer and laughed and said its your life. I left as soon as the loser showed up.

The moral of this story is Dan seems to be a great guy and is always trying to get me the (Atheist) to go to church with him ETC.

Im stumped as he has become one of my best friends but at the same time I wonder if it isn't time to write him off.

He knows loud and clear my feelings on his doings.

Should I just let go and move on?

Opinions good and bad appreciated.
