Dear Anonymous:
It is really sad that someone who we all know is very quick to attack one of us, but too much of a coward to reveal his identity.
Until your last two posts I actually thought that you could have been one of the three people who were mentioned earlier. Now that you have clarified that for me, I am actually disappointed.
You see, for Tony K., Bob M., and Drew G., making antagonistic remarks to people who left the program is to be expected. They still have not learned what they have lost and given up because of their loyalty to a ficticious cause. Becasue of their lack of experience in the world without mind control and manipulated sobriety I could understand them doing that to protect their position and justify their ongoing existence with KIDS and Dr., Fr., Mr. or whatever NEWTON.
You on the other hand should know better. And you are right, you can call anyone on their story. However, at the same time, I am going to call you on yours.
If you have no anger, resentments or hard feelings about the program (no not nightmares), then why do you have to get your kicks by trying to make fun of someone who you have not talked to or seen in a long time? In fact, are you that much of a coward that you can't even tell us who you are? That is pretty sad and it sounds like you should keep going to AA or wherever you go because it obvious that you haven't figured out what recovery is all about.
Going to bookers doesn't make you better or more sober than anyone else.. In fact, maybe you should actually read the big book or the 12 and 12. (Oh, I forgot you know all about that too!)
This site from what I understand is for those who support common ideals and/or want to help or get help from a really bad experience. I don't know anyone that would say that our experience was good, pleasant or even productive; however, its what we do after it that counts.
After your posts, I suggest revealing your "ANONYMOUS" identity and then posting. Anything shy of that, I am left to assume that your just another wisecracker trying to get some sick, twisted type of attention by trying to arise a reaction out of people here. Your posts are just the kind of thing that offer any credibility to Newton's theory. When people succeed in their life, it defeats his theory that without him we are doomed to "COP OUT and DO DRUGS amd wreck our lives". When people talk a line of offensive nonsense, it actually gives a slight bit of ammunition to society to say "We told you so."
I look forward to finding out who you are. If you have a beef with Larry G., then talk to him and work it out. I did.
I actually keyed up his car when I left the program, I hated him so much for stuff he did in there. Since he's left, I talked to him, worked out my issues and he's now a great friend of mine. Our kids play together, our wives are good friends and he's just another good person who got screwed by a very destructive and manipulative organization. (I don't recommend damaging anyone's car or anything).
Yours truly,
Jeff Z
