"I have been "straight" for 38 days. That means without any alcohol and drugs...I think I smiled more in the 5 years that I was clean and sober from the seed than I have in the past 25 years.


Jimmy - keep up the good work! (and I know...it is WORK!!) I can relate to the smiling reference :nworthy:

"Hey Robin, do you remember a staff member by the name of Rob? He was from the St. Pete seed  and was transferred to Ft. Lauderdale.(74-75) He was a very kind person and helped me tremendously."


Yes, I do remember him - very kind and very musically talented.  I got married and moved to California in '75 so I lost track of the many I would have liked to stay in touch with.  But now, with the www, we can re-connect, right?  Are you in touch w/ him?

"  With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world today, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93.  The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.  They put his left leg in, and then the trouble started."


Ft Lauderdale...You are too funny!!!  I loved it!!! Sorry to see Mr. La Prise pass on, but I guess this is the Obit his family wanted us to see.  C'mon Seedlings, let's do the Hokey Pokey one last time for the ole' man   :nworthy: whadyasay???

 
On a different note...Welcome Fran :wave:   Please feel free to speak your mind here - we may all not agree, but it's a great forum to tell us what you really think!  Enjoy this forum and enjoy your holidays!

UH...I DON'T THINK SO!  You just don't get it - but that's OK.  That's what this site is for...sharing our memories; black, white and the greys in between.

NO DOUBT...but I wasn't one of them.  All I'm saying is some of us needed it, many did not.  I also believe it takes a strong spirit to be able to seek help and move on.  Some of us are stronger than others...others are more sensative.  We all handle difficult situations in our own unique way.  I've had some very traumatic incidents over the years (and even when I questioned giving up) I DID NOT give in!!  I remain in contact w/ ex-druggie friends of mine who were walking down that same path as I, and you know what??  They just quit doing drugs - just like that!!  How did they do that? I have no idea - it was not in me at the time and I NEEDED assistance. I'm sorry that so many of you suffered at the hands of the Seed, but I, did not.

Not one of my olddruggiefriends or their friends who had not gone through the Program has tried to kill themselves that I ever heard about.


I think the Programming got to ya...What a fucking load!

"

OK Ginge, let me give you a reality check and tell you about some of MY olddruggiefriends: Ed-18, (one of those perpetually happy people, that always offered his shoulder to cry on) found dead from asphyxiation sitting in his running VW parked in a closed garage; My ex-boyfriend, Paul-16 in Jr. High, straight A student, spoke Latin fluently (his 3rd language) - took so much acid over a period of time, he fried his brain.  (I had previously broke up w/ him because he was spiraling down quickly)  He was in and out of mental institutions and when I visited him at his mom?s house after I graduated Seed, he was but a shell of a person;  Debbie-17, shot something into her arm that ?would finally end the pain? - it did; then there was Daryl-17, after raping a girl and having her boyfriend watch, fatally shot the two young lovers on Dunedin Beach one night ? serving time on death row unless he's already gone.

None of these kids were in the Seed - just me! and next month I'm going to be celebrating ANOTHER year on this planet...go figure.

DO NOT think your reality is everyones - it isn't.

Peace

holy crap, maybe this was more common than I thought...."


Ya think??  Many of us had problems before ever coming into the Seed and left carrying the same burdens we came in with.  Yes, the Seed gave me the tools but it was up to me to utilize them...or not.  I'm so sorry for those who left this planet in pain, not knowing they were loved and "one of us".

On that note - no, the Seed didn't screw up my sex life, I did.  But, I learned how to control my feelings and channel in the right direction.


This last line sounds a little freaky so I'm editing it.  What I meant to say was "my sex life, of which I had none, in the Seed was a good thing for me and directed me to focus directly on what I needed."
