Its okay not to get it, but your doubling down on some nonsense.
A persons behavior during active use usually carries a lot of shame. Its not unusual to want to tell some of colorful stories from that part of a persons life, especially if they are now living in recovery.
I hate this guy as much as the next but saying his boasting about a pretty tame drug story does more to hurt addicts than anyone just isn't true. And on top of that its simply more stigma.
What you are implying is that a person who has done that has no business being in [insert respectful career].
I do not believe at all that a person who's been addicted doesn't deserve his position. Quite the contrary.
However, boasting about their past behaviors clearly has no regret for what they've done. No remorse for the drugs that they've sold. And frankly, while this is one facet that's important to you, for the rest of us, it's just one thing amongst a torrent of others.
