Sober For Good?

As I'm a Recovering Alcoholic ("Recovering" meaning sober) since 1984 I have encountered many case managers who were employed to apply therapy to me and my other mental illnesses (alcoholism and drug addiction are considered mental illnesses as well) of schizophrenia/bipolar whom had absolutely no training in addiction and alcoholism yet were telling me to "...comply!" quiet forcefully when talking about my mental illnesses of schizophrenia/bipolar. I resisted the temptation to tell these case managers exactly where to stick it for this is my mind, my body and my life and no one has the right to order me around! That is, unless I break the law and I now do nothing illegal, immoral nor indecent due to those beautiful other Recovering alcoholics in my life! Instead of revolting verbally with these case managers I began to kindly teach them about Recovery from alcoholism/addiction. Especially about the thought that was prevalent and also incorrect that: "...once an alcoholic/addict gets clean from drugs/sober then that's the end of it! When actually the alcoholic/addict must continue to work his/her butt off in order to stay in Recovery! Plus, when ordered around the alcoholic (sober or not) the alcoholic will revolt and go do exactly what he/she was ordered not to do! It's, first of all, the nature of an alcoholic (addict, as well) and second, the nature of a free citizen of The United States of America! Of which I am both!
