Here in the states there is an AA program and the people in the program that remain active do congratulate and respect the commitment to stay sober. There are a lot of very supportive individuals in the program. When challenges happen and the escape to alcohol urge takes place, they don’t drink, they go to a meeting instead.
Unless a person experiences something first hand, they don’t know how to sympathize and respect.
