Whenever I hear these braggarts looking for praise, I say something smartass like “Hey me too! I’ve been clean since the day I was born and never even wound up harming others or in jail. Interesting!”
You gotta do what ya gotta do

So you don’t support change in others?
What a weird take. Dude improves himself and you think to shit on them. That says a lot about YOUR mentality.

As I said to the other person, you spend enough time around family and other friends who have time and time again endlessly thrown in everyone’s faces how Jesus Christ they are now that they are clean, and that YOU just don’t get it. They’re the dickheads. Most of them fall back into it. It gets old how much they seek being on a pedestal.
I am not against encouraging people improving their lives AND then moving on. I am also not standing outside prison clapping for the releases simply for having accomplished the bare minimum.

Yeah, but that just makes you sound like a dick who has no idea what kind of mammoth struggle it is to get off drugs that are designed to be as addictive as possible.
Recommendation for future: either say nothing, or join in with those who congratulate them for their achievement.

Sometimes, some people need to experience the worst in order to be convinced of pursuing the better.
