Hi Jeff,
Lots of supportive responses here. Of course criticism as well... but if there was no antagonism at all, what would be the usefulness of comments in the context of facilitating positive change?
I'm just a bit lost in this thread though, starting from the OP. What were you looking for here? You posted about a summer party and being proud to attend sober and being apparently excited about catching up with people etc. Then some of the responses pushed the discussion towards your opiate use and you got engaged in that conversation. So what is it about? The pills, issues around socializing sober, being proud of your progress that others here apparently do not recognize well enough, what is it really that bothers you right now?
