I cannot STAND when people are on a high horse about sobriety. Especially when you are consistently blaming your issues on someone else. Pointing fingers/shaming others to make yourself look better is nasty, boo.
Sobriety is not the same for everyone, and blanketing it can be highly alienating for other people. “I only take advil.” Okay, that’s you. I take medications that are addicting, but save my life by stabilizing me out so that I no longer am a danger to myself. It doesn’t mean that I am still in active addiction because I’m an addict. The toxic stance that many people promote is disappointing in communities they are supposed to be supporting one another. You are not better than anyone else based on your sobriety, including people still active in addictions. Sobriety has many faces and faucets, and you don’t know what may be going on in someone else’s life. Sobriety has many faces, and it isn’t up to you to decide which face is best, or right, for another person.
