My wife's mother is an alcoholic. She lies about the smallest things. We have a hard time with this, but try to look past her lies and remember that it is her addiction with alcohol that we hate and not her. Feeling guilty can lead to change if you let it. Hang in there.
Hi, if folks are looking down @ your addiction, they either have no addiction or feel their addiction is better than yours, e.g. “I’m addicted to nicotine, but it’s much better than heroin addiction”. I try not to lie, but I do with my doc about nicotine: I don’t need his info. / I'm judged, but most peo. R terrible mind readers, maybe there's no judgement, you're reading their mind. My friend, stop mind reading- you may suck at it. Best wishes for you!
