Hi Bettie! First off, congratulations on 9 months of recovery work. I’m guessing that you were told that all you had was 9 months abstinence by someone at a GA group. It makes me angry, as who are they to judge you whether you’ve worked on your recovery or not? My thoughts are that there is at least one individual in your group that believes it’s ok, and their job, to tell others that they have not been doing recovery work. I find this abusive behavior, plain and simple. It sounds more like the person is projecting onto you their own issues. Anyone who knows you at all and has chatted with you and read your thread, knows that you have made tremendous progress in your recovery. What kind of support group undermines people and their achievements?? Carole
