Hello ExSafe Counselor
I was a parent in the Straight/SAFE Orlando program in Orlando from 9/90 thru 12/92.  I
have not been able to picture whom you are.
However, my son is alive today because of the
program.  He is soon to be 32 years of age. He
was 15 when we went to Straight.  Obviously, I
was on board when the change was made to SAFE.
My son commenced in 12/92 but did not graduate
until 5/96.  He relapsed soon after commencing.
He went back on his own to complete aftercare in
96.  He is married today and has two children and
is doing well.  
I am 15 years sober as a direct result of the
program.  I am active in AA and I continue to
support the SAFE program in Orlando, which, by
the way is continuing to operate. I agree with
a statement that you made about financial difficulties because that continues to be factual
today.  
My experience at SAFE changed my life and I credit
it with saving my marriage and giving me a family
that can communicate today.  We just celebrated 47
years of marriage.  
I probably would recall whom you are if I had your
name, but, I haven't been able to id you from my
memory.
I hope you will continue to stay active on this site.

you son is doing well because he grew up.  SAFE didn't save his life....that is only your blind opinion.  My parents had the same ideas about straight....read Help at any cost.    Maybe you will be lifted from the fog of brainnwashing.

I am sorry to disappoint you.  Many people actually get help there.

sorry; I still don't believe it.  People grow up.  Most of childhood problems are out grown.  Drug use/abuse is usually one of 'em.  

When you are out of SAFE for over 20 years, then I doubt you will feet the same way.  Also, as long as you call yourself "ex safe ex safe counselor then I think your brain is still rinsed by Loretta and her side kick B. Seeber.

I have not worked there in 14 years and can honestly say Loretta has never been one of my favorite people.  That does not change the fact that some people get help there.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

This is amusing. I just learned about this forum. I find it amusing that people hold on to things for so long. I was in SAFE for 14 months in the 90's and worked there for several years after that. While I will say that I didn't agree with everything that went on while I was in there as well as when I worked there the fact remains that the program was effective at teaching me the basics of staying sober. The people who wasted their time in there and acted like asses are the ones who did not get anything out of the program. Furthermore I have never seen anyone "beltlooped" in SAFE or held by the shoulder. It seems to me that if you people put as much effort into bettering your own lives and letting go of things that happened in your past as you do bitching about SAFE you might be able to be happy at some point in your life. Oh and how many of you people are still sober?

SEETHER LYRICS

"Fine Again"

It seems like every day?s the same
and I?m left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there?s no color to behold
They say it?s over and I?m fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I?m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything?s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I?m in hell I am prepared now,
seems everyone?s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well

I feel the dream in me expire
and there?s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
?cause I can?t seem to get this through
You say it?s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I?m dying here

And I am aware now of how
everything?s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I?m in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone?s gonna be fine
One day too late; just as well

And I?m not scared now.
I must assure you,
you?re never gonna get away
And I?m not scared now.
And I?m not scared now. No?

I am aware now of how
everything?s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I?m in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone?s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems everything?s gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself.
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself

Nope, nots sober by "safe" or "straight, inc" definition.....but, I make about $14k per month in my business, so I deserve a fucking drink or bowl now and again.  I am far more happpy with my life now that I drink and smoke now and then.   My life is far "better" than when I was in straight and still believed their shit.  

You have been out SAFE since the 90's and you still believe their crap?  Have you even graduated high school?   You still seem to have that "high school" type mentality.   LOL
 


See ya safeling..........you are just too sober and brainwashed for me.    :wave:

Ya know, you really have to pity people like this.  

Sober?  I enjoy a good cocktail and a joint every now and again.  What the hell does that have to do with anything?  Oh, that's right.  You're still living your life according to the SAFE mentality.  No one who uses a substance in any form could POSSIBLY be successful.  StillSober, I'm truly sorry for you.  

Better my life?  Shit, if it got any better I'd get arrested. ::cheers::
