You are in a very small minority of Straight defenders, so why not elaborate on your success?

Why do you label that as success? Many people never had a drug/alcohol problem to begin with. How is that success? How bout just normal growing up.

That's like a non-Doctor telling you, you have cancer and when you find out they were wrong. You are in remission and a cancer survivor success story! Dumb, real dumb.

No game intended? I read too much into the numbers, I presume.

The way the numbers are posted seems to display a kind of overt confidence in the program. I read too much into it. Hence my request for an explanation.

I don't even know what those numbers mean. I never wrote an actual MI, in my over 6 months I was there. So tell me, What do those numbers mean? Someone said before those were numbers you Had to write on your MI. What did they mean?

I'm not the anon poster, but the numbers meant

days on phases with the last being total.

1/2/3
4/5/total

mine were this

35/25/67/
241/244/655

My days do not add up to the total because I was started over.  On my 43erd day I hit my oldcomer with the sack lunch on the way to the car from the host home.  That muthurfucker still had a hold of my beltloop after I hit him with the sack lunch.  The bag busted and the caffine free soda was spinning and spurting on the sidewalk.  I starting hitting the guy in the face and finally broke loose. I fell down a few times running away cause my legs got so weak sitting in those blue chairs for so long.  At one point I was speed crawling down the sidewalk.  That oldcomer got started over upon my return.

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

I think as far as some ingrained behavior and trippy self guilt issues...no we do not
 That said I dont really think much about straight per se..I did for a year or so after finding fornits ..but its been a long time.
 I do still feel guilty after nasty drug binges ( like say iv cocaine or meth ..actually only those 2)...or whenever i spend money on myself.
