I don't have any resentments at all. If it works for them, great. I won't disparage that. But they need to tone down that high on life stuff. I get where it comes from, because it is a dark and lonely place to be an addict but to hear them talk you'd think they moved to TellyTubby Land. I think that type of excessive giddyness can be a hinderance to true recovery. Here is why: Life is hard. It is painful and messy. I get through it without anyone cheering me on. I get through it in the darkest days without drinking or hurting others. I don't skip through the lily fields every morning to work. You have to learn to accept the lows and work through them. That is what being sober is all about.
And for some of his friends, AA does become another addiction. But I suppose it is better to be addicted to recovery than a substance in the long run.
