So true about what you say about people not wanting you to succeed. I was just sharing this at a meeting last night. When I got sober 26 months ago, I had nothing but unhealthy and toxic relationships and I hid my alcoholism well enough and kept a distance from those that really would care about me.

In my recovery I’ve experience more people trying to enable me failing than supporting me and sadly many of those are family members by way of my marriage. It’s really quite sad.

Boundaries and inviting these relationships out of my life drive them crazy because they lose control but the upside is I maintain my sobriety and spiritual peace. I will not suffer toxic relationships in sobriety for the sake of hierarchal status quo.
