The Three Faces of Recovery

SOMEONE CRITICIZED my drinking. I didn't like being criticized, because it hurt my tender little feelings; my ego rebelled. The criticism implied that there was something wrong in the way I drank. Why, I was proud when people commented on how much I could drink at one sitting and how well I held my liquor. What right did this guy have to say that my coffee cup wouldn't rattle on the saucer if I stayed away from the bar at night?
