Not wanting to give everyone in your life one of your kidneys is not the same thing as hoping they die of kidney failure.

Kids know when they're getting yelled at and mocked, I can assure you.

You don't need to hide the fact that you're in recovery, but you don't have to share your history of addiction with acquaintances at work, either.

You have a wonderful opportunity here to not care about something that doesn’t matter to you. Please don’t miss out on it.

It's one thing to be a high achiever; it's quite another to privately sneer at your girlfriend's friends after feigning friendliness because they have the "misfortune" to drive a bus for a living.

I'm pretty sure there's no sexuality that justifies constant low-level harassment.

If your partner asks you if something bothers you, and something bothers you, the best thing you can do is say, "Yes, it bothers me." Otherwise you create a situation where they think everything is fine, continue with the offending behavior, while you build up a secret reservoir of resentment that will eventually come pouring out, to their shock.
