My name is Aaron and I was in straight then.

I like long walks on the beach, going to the theater, candlelight dinners and poking dead things with a stick!

Um....I could't hear a word you said because I couldn't get past the massive boobs to the right of your message.  Did you put that there or have I just gone completely crazy.  If you don't know what I am talking about then nevermind cause I need to go seek help.

Interesting topic.  But I will say this.  If we destroyed the WTC ourselves "on Purpose".  I'm moving!!  I actually refuse to believe that one because it is just way too sick and way too scary!

Those who read my messages and think that I have positive things to say about straight are WAY off. I couldn't even graduate from that program and I went there on my own! The mind games and terror tactics that they used on me were too much to bear and I withdrew before I really went crazy. It took me 4 years to be able to put my head on the pillow at night with out angrily playing the the tapes of that place over and over in my mind. AND understand this. I have been a sober, active member of AA ever since (14 years) and it still affects me in subtle ways. (SOBER means not drinking ONLY IF YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC LIKE ME!!! Otherwise all Websters definitions apply to you just finewhether you drink alcohol or not!!! In order for ME to be described as sober by dictionary standards is for me NOT to drink at all!!!) Anyway, I digress there!
I think I still have a distant fear of sucess and failure as well as a fear of other people as aresult of that place. I was taught how to strip a person down and I was taught that everyone is lying about something. How well do you think my relationships have gone living with those type of beliefs??? ALL I have been saying is that I refuse to stay negative and to let anything RULE my life. All the fears I mentioned I have made tremendous progress with and My life is finally really really good. Actually beyond my wildest dreams. BUT IT TOOKS ASS LOADS OF PAIN AND PERSERVERANCE AND GOD'S GRACE TO GET ME HERE! THE ONLY POSITIVE THINGS STRAIGHT DID FOR ME ARE THESE:
1) Got me away from drugs and alcohol for an extended period of time.
2) Told me to go to AA when I got out.
3) Taught me how to tell the truth (and this one had serious consequences because I did out in the world what we did in straight which was tell everybody everything.....NOt good to do in the real world I assure you)
4) Introduced me to my best friend
5) Gave me time to actually find a power greater than myself that had nothing to do wiht straight

Does it really sound like I like the Place??

That sort of abuse is different from being thrown on the floor and sat on, but its no less dangerous and wrong.


NO DOUBT

I went in when I was 20 and totally fucked up on crack and a bunch of other shit including a whopper of an alcohol problem.  Although I was a young adult, I had the mind and emotional level of a 12 year old with a serious anger management problem.  I walked into the open meeting room and the staff member said " this is Aaron...who's got something to say?"  When everyone broke out in motivation I realized that I had just wound up in a place full of retarded people who needed to get some air.  I thought about punching the asshole holding my beltloop right in the face and bolting for the door.  I just knew that one of the kids close to me ( they were all shaking and carrying on like stroke victims) was going to jump up from his seat and chew off one of my arms.  Then, all of a sudden, one of the horrifying gyrators jumped up out of his seat and spoke english to me.  I was afraid he would say someting like " Awl urrup dorrhogniss ooof"  But no...he said...."I just want to welcome you to straight and if you ever had sex with your sister, you had better tell us."  I was relieved because I didn't have a sister and being as twisted as I was, had I had a sister I probably would have tried to nail her every day!  Two weeks later there I was, arms flailing, slobber flying, ass slamming up and down on a chair just hoping I could be the one that got to say hidie-ho to the the new guy with an oldcomer-ass-attachment.

Ya know, when I was in Straight DC from 89-90, none of the really bad shit that I read about in these forums happened.  I read that in the early 80's girls were threatened with being gang banged for misbehaving. (my problem in there was wishing I could randomly screw every good looking girl in the place so I would have gladly sat on the girls side for a couple of weeks!) BUT I damn sure wouldn't feel that way if I was a 15 year old girl in the middle of the guys side!
I also read that people were starved and beaten up and totally humiliated in group for just being normal kids.  That is fucked up.  No wonder everybody is so pissed off at the place.  I would be too. In fact, I may have destroyed my life trying to track the bastards down after I got out.
My heart goes out to those who went through that kid of stuff.

Of course I still want to randomly screw every good looking woman I see but at least I can't get started over for expressing it!  Or spit on or restrained!  God ain't freedom wonderful!!
Sincerely,

Serious Nutball!
