I agree with Seren. I've heard it said here before that when people pleaders stop pleasing people, people are not pleased.
Usually that's said about Codies but I've seen firsthand how people sometimes are afraid of change in others - change of careers, moves, habits... Just ask a morbidly obese friend of mine who started working out and eating right - her family was her biggest obstacle!
I know people say "focus on your own recovery" but I sometimes think that includes limiting your exposure to people who for whatever reason want to throw monkey wrenches into your recovery.
