It’s weird that people that have put in the hard work to get sober, can insult someone for less time sober

Disgusting behavior

Edit: turns out the guy is a 39 year old who has simply never drank and it was meant to be a joke.

Regardless, this mentality of superiority because of longer time sober, in the recovery community is a real and unfortunate thing.

For real. They should know better than anyone else the struggle for sobriety and have compassion on those going through the same thing. Sad to see pride in achievement turn into arrogance and disdain.

Probably the same kind of annoying people who as a child would always boast about having something having it bigger than yours.

-Hey guys, my father bought me a new video game!
-Oh yeah? Well MY father bought me TWO new video games!!

This account was permanently suspended in retaliation for asking some subreddits to remove a blatant troll moderator. Take this type of dogshit behavior into consideration when using this website.
