@PamelaAmeliaK @stimothyfleming This is the attitude that continues the system in which alcoholics and addicts continue to die. If the HCP keep reinforcing this attitude we are not likely to change the system.

It is common that people have to deal with stuff that had been buried for years when they get sober. I have sometimes felt shamed by others in recovery for talking about my struggles and not just saying sobriety is great. It is great, but it doesn’t help others to lie.
