same old, same old. We've already talked about whether or not we still go to meetings here, have sponsers, yadayada. We've already answered a million posts about how if we aren't a part of aarc then we must be miserable druggies (yeah taht's not cultic behavior). We've also already answered that there is nothing positive about AARC, and we already know that only staff is posting here, so at least try to be more creative liars. Why don't you go post at my website? Not one of you has been able to answer anything I question. The closest to an answer is someone saying that AARC does twisted things to kids but that's okay!

RE:Interested "Are you guys still sober?"
If you are asking if I use mood altering substances including alcohol, the answer is no. How are you defining that word sobriety? Chances are pretty good that I no longer recognize the word "sobriety" in my life either anymore the way you see it. The place I was in, (Straight Inc.-Cincinnati), drilled into me 24/7 that I had a "substance abuse problem" and that I would DIE without "their" help, that my family would disown me if I withdrew, and told me daily I was f.u.c.k.e.d. up, and the root of the worlds problems. Straight used their mind raping tactics on me to instill their brand of "sobriety" on me.
The truth was that I was just like everyone else who was ever an adolescent, I did some dumb things and that's all, the only difference is that I had a bunch of sick f.u.c.k.s who took away my God-given right to make mistakes and learn from them myself. Bottom line, yes I tried a few things and got really burnt by a mind rape mill like AARC, but that didn't mean that I EVER had a "substance abuse problem".
I'll let you in on something, along with being a mind rape mill survivor, I am a 5 year cancer survivor. In order for my medicine to work to the best of its ability, wouldn't it be prudent to NOT smoke or use any substance in order to allow those medicines to do their job? That's why I don't use and it seems to be working. For me there is no need to go to AA, because I am not "powerless" like some would of wanted me to believe all those years ago.
When I started dealing with the truth about these types of places and what happened to me there, I got some flack from some family members for a little while until I stood up to them and told them that I was no longer going to be the "druggie" anymore with the "problem", that they were full of @#%$ and fell into the practices of a cult whether they wanted to believe it or not, and that they were not going to make me their scape goat anymore like the program taught them. We were no longer going to refer to me as the dirty low down druggie or I wanted nothing more to do with them, if they wanted to get along with me then they would have to meet MY terms for once, things honestly for the first time got better in my life. Ever since then, them sons-of bitches at Straight that tortured me lose their control more and more over my mind.
Yeah I did all the "right things", I "graduated", I stayed clean, went to meetings for years afterward, thinking I was THE problem, that I was a "druggie", I should feel guilt all the time because my past was "f.u.c.k.e.d. up" NOT SO, at least not anymore then any other human being, too bad I didn't know then what I know now, but that's OK, at least I know it and I'm free in my mind and I have a damned good therapist who thank God knew of Straight and its mind control and honestly believed they all just went away.
Well Logo9, you said this, "Wishing you the best of luck", well I'm saying the same for you, we may not agree, that's OK, fine then, but you did ask a question and I never really went into it this much in depth before and I thought that now would be a good time to just sit down and answer it the best that I could.

Dear David could I please get the case number on the suite against Provo Canyon School in March 2001. The suite was filed by Mr. Ed Glynn. I desperately need that file sent to me or a case number. I need this by 2:00 PM. Thank you, Rhonda Taylor rhondataylor@aol.com

How do I define sobriety? Sobriety=Psychological suicide
That's just a personal opinion from someone that experienced sober life only secondary to an association with a mind control cult.
I like the fact that today I am normal despite thier rantings. Yes, for me stone cold sobriety is abnormal life and is indeed psychological suicide.
