As far as going everywhere an telling everyone i didnt mean you should be telling complete strangers. In fact I really just meant with family. I didn’t mean to go up to strangers and let them know you’re whole story. Sorry if I was misunderstood.

I also didn’t mean you should be proud to be an addict, but that you should be proud that you had an illness and you sought help for it. Being clean should always be something to be proud of. None of us are proud that we are drug addicts. Just like nobody is proud that they have cancer, but when that cancer goes into remission they should be proud. Look at everything we go through to make sure our illness stays in remission…Medication, therapy, AA, ditching all of our using "friends", avoiding triggers.

Now tell me all that hard work isn’t something we should be proud of.
