I saw your post Raider and I must say , it did catch me off guard - harsh, but true. Maybe used a AK40 when a knife might have done the job - LOL. But I do agree with the principle of your post. We, as addicts shouldn't expect people to "get it" that we're a "new person" because we've had days, or a few weeks of soberity. That's just not even logical and to attack them for "not getting it" shows our self-centeredness. The people we've hurt deserve compassion and kindness for the abuse we've inflicted upon them. Now, if you've been clean for a year or more and the story hasn't changed, well that might different, but trust has to earned again once we've abused it. Responsibility starts at Home, with ourselves.
