I share your frustrations, especially being seen as an addict. The judgement often comes behind a comment about how much better I am, or reference to or reminder of how messed up I was, how strange and incapable. If I have the energy to reply it is usually to ask what of the sick me they want back, or want to deal with again. “They mean well” is wearing thin.

I really appreciate your response and I never thought I would ever find myself in this position. I am embarrassed to tell those close to me for fear of how they will now perceive me. Your response gives me hope.
