Reminders of the past?
Does anyone have any friends or family who think that reminding you of some of your transgressions before recovery is somehow helpful to you? I was finally able to explain to my wife that it really adds to my stress level, but now my best friend has started bringing certain things nearly every time we're together. He has been in recovery for 8 years himself and somewhere along the way learned that its helpful, but it really adds insult to injury for me. He says it shows how far I've come in such a short time and my recovery has strengthened our friendship even more. I could not have done this without him, but am I wrong in thinking enough is enough? The last thing I want to do is hurt someone who has been one of my biggest supporters by asking him to stop bringing up the past.
