Insults and Criticism

Sometimes we point out a mistake to someone, and all we are doing is insulting the person. At other times, the same message is helpful criticism. How can we distinguish between the two? Many in recovery point out what you are doing wrong, but are ready to take time and share knowledge and experience so you can rectify the defect or mistake. These people are offering sincere and constructive criticism and should be heeded. If you find yourself tempted to point out to someone what he or she is doing wrong, stop and reflect. Are you willing to help correct that behavior? If not, hold your peace.

When the addict recovers and abstains, what happens to those feelings? The person learns to handle them without recourse to chemicals, but the intensity does not change. So if you are a recovering person, you have paid a price for your heightened emotional sensitivity. You probably are hurt more easily and feel pain more intensely. However, these feelings make you so much more human, more interesting, and more lovable.
