    Yeah, but that just makes you sound like a dick who has no idea what kind of mammoth struggle it is to get off drugs that are designed to be as addictive as possible.

    Recommendation for future: either say nothing, or join in with those who congratulate them for their achievement.

      You spend enough time around family and other friends who have time and time again endlessly thrown in everyone’s faces how Jesus Christ they are now that they are clean, and that YOU just don’t get it. They’re the dickheads. Most of them fall back into it.

      I am not against encouraging people improving their lives. I am also not standing outside prison clapping for the releases.

      If you’ve been exhausted and used enough by enough repeat addicts, you just get tired of it and believe it less.

      I will not go nuts celebrating someone finally deciding to stop destroying their life and the lives of those around them. I will not overly celebrate people recognizing their own selfishness.
