Is it normal if i dont agree with addicts and sobriety?
I didn't know how to ask it so I just asked it that way. But the point is I don't understand why addicts have to be sober after going to rehab? Like I feel as if that puts more pressure on them and make them rather anxious. I guess my real question is can they ever go to being normal, social drinkers? or those that take drugs on occasion? I think it is possible but the whole Ive been sober for 90 days" makes it seem impossible. I recently watched this show where this guy blew up at his friends for keeping him away from all alcohol and drugs saying he's not a "weirdo" or that he's fine and "lets go back to normal." And I kind of saw where he was coming from. He didn't seem like an addict to me at all. He did have his stage of being addicted but cause he was going through things and eventually went to rehab but after, he did seem like he was back to normal. It just got me questioning how does this work? Why is it necessary for former addicts to be "sober" for an amount of time? Will they ever get to a normal stage? I understand the idea of relapsing and trying to prevent them from going through that but it's like when are they going to be normal? Isn't that the point? I dont find it healthy to keep hold them tight in this sobriety life. I almost feel like you're suffocating them.
