"I like(d) you better when...(using/drinking)

Out of curiosity (as I just saw this same thing was mentioned as being said to someone else as well), how many of you have experienced their significant other, or someone close to you utter the phrase “I like(d) you better when using/drinking” and what did it do to you to hear that?

Do you feel it affected your sobriety or self-confidence in any way? Did it upset you, or make you feel you should continue using? Or like me, did it make you feel like the person didn’t love the “real you?”

There’s a similiar thread about this. Check it out.
