In a few days, I will be celebrating my sobriety bday, the 9th. I have run into some of the staff members that I worked with and made ammends where I could.
Yesterday, I ran into a former co-worker that I had not seen since then, and we talked for a minute and she asked how "it was going now". I told her that I was going to have 9 years clean this month and her comment was "How in the world could you proud of that? Proud of not giving the patients their medicines?! I would not ever be proud of doing something like that!!!"
She didn't listen when I explained that "No, I was not proud of the things I had done, of the medicines I took from my patients, but I was proud of the fact that I have had 9 years working and clean and sober and that I am still alive today."
I know some people's opinions you can't change, but jeez!
