It just happens to some people. Not everyone who relapses sits and plans it out. Some drugs(Such as heroin, as a good example) you can experience urges for life.
Can't you both just agree to disagree? Seriously. It's not a pissing contest.

But because the person was on drugs were are programmed to say congrats even 5 years later. Making assumptions I see. Very nice. Who's to say no one would congratulate them from that? If one was drinking 28 Cokes a day that would obviously be VERY unhealthy, and extremely detrimental to your well being. Food, drugs, alcohol, self harm, gambling, anything that can begin to really affect your life in negative way, and that you abuse with frequent use is deserving of pride. Again, since so many people relapse in any given time, be it a month in or 20 years of sobriety. It's like a birthday. You are celebrating your life. All of us want to be happy, and turning your life around after doing anything that is damaging is a huge accomplishment. Since there is always chance of relapse, and staying clean is making you happy, how is it different than celebrating any holiday at all?

I don't really celebrate holidays. And there is not a holiday that I would celebrate that is about a group of people who put themselves in the shitter through poor decisions and got themselves out and decided to celebrate it. Theres no reason to relapse after 5 years. Its not like we are helpless human beings and the substance is not in their system any longer. Theres no reason for 'Oh yay! 5 Years of not doing the thing that made my life absolute shit' Like really? Its not like its a hard decision. If it fucked you up once it will do so again. So I see no reason to celebrate 5 years of common sense. Fucking deal with it.

Excellent, excellent, excellent job, keep it up, and God Bless You. :) Oh so I have to agree or be a hater? Typical for you to think things are so black and white. No, but seeing someone proud of getting off a drug that is hard to quit and then belittling them sure is some hating.

I wouldn't be supporting an annual celebration for anyonewho screwed up their lives in any way. I just feel its something to get over and move on. i don't care if they used to smoke, do drugs, drink, steal, rape, kidnapp, verbally abuse, spread aids. I dont care!
She could have said: Its been years since I had a soda, I used to drink 28 sodas a day and was so morbidly obese i couldn't leave my room and I stopped and now I've been a normal weight for 5 years congradulate me!
No. Its been 5 years. I would have then but its been 5 years
or she could have said:
Its been 5 years since I had an abortion. I used to get pregnant so i wouldn't have to take bc and I aborted unti l I ran out of money and was homeless. i was addicted to abortions (the meds they put you on for pain) but now I am better and it has been 5 years of no abortions. Congradulate me!!
NO. Its been 5 years and its really not worth celebrating since you would have been fine if you had not put yourself in that situation
neither of those responses would be decribed as 'hating' Hell if she had posted the first you guys would have been confused as to why she was posting about it randomly 5 years later and the second would have had 4 pages of raging at her.

5 years already? I have like...five hours
Quote: from Areola at 2:49 pm on June 20, 2012 why would i congratulate you for getting out of a situation/lifestyle you put yourself inwell you're a flaming moronic piece of shit so that's not really that surprising now is it? god forbid someone show an ounce of strength after a hard time. that would be almost human. just as it would be human to show anything but negative emotion directly towards them rather than shutting the fuck up or being intelligent or even congratulating them. but fuck that mess your opinion, no matter how fucking retarded, must be heard.

Good for you that you just said "I'm not going to do this anymore" and got over it, but for a lot of people it isn't that way at all. Heroin is a tough drug to get off, and an easy drug to get back on. Being sober from it is a serious accomplishment. Why on Earth wouldn't you want to celebrate what is a huge turning point in your life?
