Separating addictions and harm reduction?
Post Body

Hey.

So, I went to my first NA meeting and was offered to be sponsored by a super cool chick.

I'm already (almost) 3 years sober from alcohol. But, I was smoking pot and using kratom during that time. Alcohol was ruining my life. I tried AA and didn't care for it. I live in very rural area and went in when I was 19. I felt very infantilized. For example, "You're too young and/or pretty to be in here!" Etc.. Still, I needed to get sober, so I did. But I used harm reduction and am of the belief that harm reduction is a valid form of recovery. I used weed to stay sober. Then I got caught up in a 4 year kratom addiction and used weed to get off kratom, then quit smoking weed 3 days ago. Ultimately, I didn't get sober to just have a bunch of crutches. I want to celebrate that. All of them...

Long story short, my sponsor is basically nullifying my entire process and by NA logic, I do get it. But I want to celebrate all of my sober/clean times. 3 years alcohol free, 41 days kratom free, 3 days pot free. Why can't I? Am I wrong for thinking this way?
