the trouble that surrounds Addiction is multi layered ,apart from the ignorant who dont get it all, the old adage how do you know when a junkie is lying every time he opens is mouth is the classic put down always gets a laugh from the ignorant. To recovering addict with 8 years clean time it is a total disrespect to the person who pulled themselves out of the Abysson their b7y them selves, solo and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives. for some addicts that could of been a trigger thats all it takes no all but for some. katy you will always be under suspicion no matter how long or hard you work to stay clean the stigma is still very attached to the lying junkie, recognising addiction as medical problem s oppose to a criminal one helped a little but not much. congrats on your clean time i tip my hat to you one day at a time good luck
