Anyone grateful for the time at Spring Creek Lodge?

I probably wouldn't say I'm grateful for my time spent there at all - but I don't regret it. If I hadn't been there I woulda gotten worse and worse - I even relapsed after the program but not on any of my problem drugs - I still say away from them. It helped me realize that I am not invinceable and bad things can happen to me. I had no concept of that as a teen. Also - the ability to be blatantly honest with my mom and work out our problems is something I am definitely grateful for. Before getting arrested and being sent to SCL I hadn't spoken to my mom in almost a year. We had a really bad falling out. I was in a bad situation in general and I never would've gotten out without something to help me realize that. I don't agree with everything they do at all, and I often worry that I am permenantly messed up by those seminars, but I had no sense of self worth or dignity before going there and I attribute that positive change to the program.

I wonder why there is over 600 kids in various anti-WWASP myspace groups, a relatively recent phenomenon while any pro-WWASP groups have yet to be created. Same for this site, tbfight.com, and various others. No pro-WWASP alumni sites. I wonder why?"

Part of that might have to do with WWASPS intentionally discouraging anyone having any contact with other programmies and during the program not letting you share contact information.
So, obviously, if they bought into the program, theyre told "no" and accept it.
As far as the reason youre alluding to... :silly:
My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

No wonder these places havent been closed down yet. You all are to busy fighting with each other about who had the worse experience or who is lying than doing something. Venting is a great cathardic experience but it doesnt get much accomplished in this world. Makes me wonder if most of you are still teenagers in your head--did SCL break you down that much? Did they twist you all into being so hateful and jaded or was that part of the reason your folks sent you away? I think some people forget that their parents are to blame too...........
