Anyone else experience that?
Yep! I experienced that with some people at work! As a matter of fact, after I told one guy about my recovery, he totally disrespected me and said he would still like to go out and drink with me and made a joke about it!
Yes, life and people can be cruel! Alcoholism also shows no mercy unless we stop drinking for good and change our ways! The BB mentions we are beyond human aid and that we must get the strength to stay sober from a higher power!
What I had to do is have a firm resolve on staying sober and that I must do this for myself and no one else if I'm going to remain sober! Screw the people at work if they don't support you and use that for extra motivation to stay sober!
