Stoughton - A question for "Staff/Old Comers"
« Reply #15 on: January 31, 2006, 11:08:00 AM »
Hi, I was a grad from Stoughton, and was on staff for a couple years. And it is hard to look back at some of those times. I was young, newly sober, and under the guidance and direction of some strong influences at Straight. At the time I did also believe in the program with all my heart. I gave it my all and got result from it, as did alot of others who I see now. When I finally got fired, and started working in the real human service field, I started to realize that so many of the things that went on there were against normal treatment and care, and often were abusive and traumatic. It took me a very long time to accept my part in that, and to start letting go realizing that I could not change the past, and re-learning how to really help people (which has been my career since). I was overage when I went in, so even though there was times I wanted out, I needed to be there, and finished it. There were some great times for me at straight (the friends and laughs we had), along with some nightmares. In the spirit of love and peace, just my thoughts.

I was on staff and eventually left when I started going to strip bars.  I didn't drink, just like to look at the scenery.  The great thing was the funniest conversastion I have ever had w/ an employer.  "We would like you to stop going to stip bars".  Me "Are you telling me you are going to control what I do outside this building?" Them "No, we just don't think it is right and would like you to stop.  i'm not going to stop, are you going to fire me? I don't think we can keep you on...  So you are going to fire me not for drinking but leagally going to a bar to watch chicks dance and having the self restaint not to drink?  We don't want to fire you.  Then don't.  Well, we can't have you going to a strip bar while you are on staff.  But this is leagal for me to do as an adult AND I am not drinking..."  It went on and on like that.  by this time I had had it with the program anyway and was ready to move on.  I left and was not fired.

Some of the things that are being said about people on this thread are just simply false. I thought mentioning people's names was also not cool.

greetings and salutations I am the newcomer on this chatline. Looking for like-minded survivors for chat. Let's get down to the real nitty-gritty about the "program". I have been fortunate to find this website and am coming from KY(home sweet home for George Ross). My experiences at possibilities were horific but a long time ago 1987-88 to be specific. I had some idea that what was happening to me was probably happening somewhere else, but here the whole fiasco has been hidden-or covered up. I escaped.But I am suprised and disgusted that this was and still is going on virtually everywhere!

Truth does not have to be accepted on faith. Scientists do not hold hands every Sunday, singing, "Yes gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! Amen.

Welcome! Far as I know, you're the first one to come along who knows anything about it under the PU name. Do tell! How did it start/end, etc.?

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

I was betrayed or tricked into going to a family counseling session. Strip-searched,interviewed belt-looped. I was not on drugs. Naturally. I never got off first phase. I picked the biggest guy in there and when he started breathing down my neck to intimdate me I dropped him like that bag of cotton they always had us singing about. I don't like dudes getting that close to me I told them.
I was 17. Smart but still too naive. I could not believe I was being held there. I've always had a good intuition-I just knew there was something really wrong about the place-something NASTY! It has taken me a while to figure out the singing was regression,and the loop and the sex raps were really covert sex abuse. I got beat up a number of times for resisting. It never occured to me to make up anything :skull:

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.

Well it has been roughly(because I was not allowed to know what day it was)17-18 years.A whole entire lifetime ago in kid years. These links this website and you fellows are the only single solitary clue that I have been able to get! i should have tried this a while back. I have been trying to drum up some support for years. I've talked to church members,clergy,psychologists, psychiatrists M.D.'s,friends, relatives, etc. and got the same vacant dumass stare, like it did'nt matter.

Well, Notty, what do ya want ta know?

Never in the history of any nation has an education system been so on the point of disintegration and decay as the education system in this country...We know that education in this country is as bad as it can be.  We know that it is old-fashioned, irrelevant, and not meaningful.
