    I have a wife, family, car, and great job, and I’m also addicted to drugs.

        No poison for me thanks, I get energized in the morning by thinking about that thing I said in middle school and everyone got all quiet

    Sometimes, some people need to experience the worst in order to be convinced of pursuing the better.

      He used to be addicted to drugs. He still is, but he used to be too.

    Whenever I hear these braggarts looking for praise, I say something smartass like “Hey me too! I’ve been clean since the day I was born and never even wound up harming others or in jail. Interesting!”

      So you don’t support change in others?

      What a weird take. Dude improves himself and you think to shit on them. That says a lot about YOUR mentality.

      Edit: You see looking for praise, I see being a potential role model for others in a similar situation.

        As I said to the other person, 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. It gets old how much they seek being on a pedestal.

        I am not against encouraging people improving their lives AND then moving on. I am also not standing outside prison clapping for the releases simply for having accomplished the bare minimum.

            Yep. You’re 100% right. I’ve never struggled and I lack any empathy whatsoever, merely because I will not overly celebrate a repeat offender no longer offending.

            Nuance never works on the internet. The irony in how you so easily judge me, by the way. Have fun with your assumptions of people. You’re no better.

              It’s hardly an assumption when you literally write it out my friend.

              Anyway, no hard feelings. You do you my guy and I support you in your opinion.

      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.

        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.
