As far as the five phases part of my experience I am. I went in knowing I had a problem. Although I will tell you now that I don't think I had a big drug problem. My down fall was alcohol. None the less I needed help and conformed with the program and 7th Stepped in under a year.
I am still struggling with my time spent on Staff. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would rather do my first phase all over again and change nothing, then to spend a single 8 hour shift as a Staff member in Straight. It was during this time I became extremly suicidal and depressed :cry: . It was by far the worse time for me in Straight. I am still looking for closure.
