That in itself is a HUGE accomplishment! Sometimes just being "clean" is the best we can do at the moment--and that is ok...certainly nothing wrong with that. It is usually our expectations we place on ourselves that get us down. Just enjoy the moment. Give yourself a break. Any clean addict is indeed a miracle!

Sometimes you will find that others will do this as a means to not take a good look at themselves--how easy it is to judge another sometimes and avoid taking responsibility for one's own actions. But usually the ones who point out another's fault in a certain area are usually guilty of that behavior themselves--so when they tell on another--they are actually telling on themselves.....if this makes sense? Kind of like--"you spot it~you got it!" kinda deal........

Just listen and find out who the gossipers are and steer away from them--as in don't tell them anything that you wouldn't want everyone to know and you will be ok. Some are sicker than others--even in recovery.
