Hardcore recovery

I use to get so offended when I first began recovery. Every little thing got under my skin.
On top of a huge ego and arrogance that I had. You couldnt tell me anything. And if you did. I either got mad or took everything too sensitively.
I have grown to appreciate the honesty and tough love tho.
And to be honest, I only respond to just that.
Its nice to have the sympathy and all that stuff.
But I have to look at it like this.
My addiction is coming at me full force and isnt going to sugar coat anything. So how am I suppose to get better with coddling and tummy rubs?
Its just not going to happen.
I believe in being gentle to a point.
But sometimes, people like me need a bighard kick in the ass.
And I may not like it. But its the truth and what has worked for me.
My addiction is never going to be gentle. You have to fight as hardcore for your recovery as your addiction is fighting to destroy you.
Just thinking out loud. Thx.
