After hours, niether of which are credentialed to assist someone with suicidal ideation. Quit trying to save the world! This sounds like "Dime Therapy" in synops. "Feedback" as it was...
While I appreciate all your efforts, it seems as if your are lending validity to a cultic society concept among the survivors community. Survivors need skills relative to independence and responsibility, Fostering dependence on other survivors is just as "cultic" as the program itself. I hate to use the word "Codependence" as it was a shitty word even during it's peak in the '80s but it is definitely representative of what you reflect. Do we need some special line that we call on a red "bat-phone" when going through troubles or can we see our local shrink/pastor/neighbor/etc. Granted none understand our experience as well as cult experts and survivors, but I think it is more of a transition to real life.
"Once a druggie always a druggie" is a concept that I don't subscribe to nor do I subscribe to the philosphy that I am incapable, disabled, handicapped, or in need of some "special" assistance because of all my teen years in a pseudotherapeutic thought reform cult!
I am able and I will survive through each struggle sans "special assistance".
It seems like you are working hard on ISAC and again I appreciate the efforts. I hope it will not be thanklessly in vain. I had to share my thoughts on the issue and don't mean to be offensive in any way.
