That was a pretty lame attempt at a joke, but one of the symptoms of PTSD is a lack of a sense of humor, so I'm going to give you a break. It's quite common for people to try to make light of things that scare them. I think it's pretty clear that those who mock and demean victims of abuse are usually battling their own demons.

What exactly kind of chip do you get for that, anyway?
Step 2 might also be a challenge. "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." If God is so omnipotent and omniscient that he will "restore these people to sanity" on request, where the hell was he when they were getting raped by their dads on a regular basis? Oh, that's right, I almost forgot about "Footprints"... during those years they lived in terror in their own homes, crying themselves to sleep every night, it was then God was carrying them. I read a really disturbing statistic that 46% of incest survivors are abused by their therapists. You just know those 'victims of abuse' meetings will be swarming with sick perverts and pedophiles on the hunt for vulnerable prey.
i cant sleep and been having a tough time. i dont have any money but im hoping i can find some kind of rehab or something because ive also developed a bad alcohol habit. i dont think therapy will work because i think i need to live in a new place with people who are helpful . need to know if anyone has found success in treatment after the program?
Others on fornits swear by TBPITW (the best pot in the world). Your results may vary. Worked well for me.

It's a retreat for survivors of cultic abuse and abusive 12 step groups.Others on fornits swear by TBPITW (the best pot in the world). Your results may vary. Worked well for me.
