[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1208150, member: 14668"] Recovery means living life on life's terms. As a recovering alcoholic, should I have the right to demand that the grocery store I shop at quit selling beer? Should I have the right to demand that the people around me not read newspapers or magazines that have visible beer advertisements? Living life on life's terms means learning ro cope with being exposed on a daily basis to unhealthy temptations and to things that I might find offensive or immoral. I do not feel that I have the right to require everyone else in the world to modify their behavior on my account. If I am secure in my recovery and in my own moral opinions regarding alcohol or pornography, the choices that other people make are not a threat to my well-being. [/QUOTE]
