I forget the movie, but the quote was ?Welcome to Hell!?
The 4th step?One tid bid of ?what I wish I had done?, I would have had my sponsor read these web pages (or had them as an option for them to read)?sit with them and do a search on most any topic. It happened, it happened to you and to scores of others.
It isn?t really so important in my opinion that they come to grips with what took place, yet, I think it would have helped mine understand and to negate the idea of my ?supposed? exaggeration. It would have helped to have been believed during that process and time period of my life.
Our past experience at Straight explains a lot about how we see and react/respond to this very day. It is certainly worth the investigation. You see I also felt ?robbed of my childhood? and I tried to play the game, I lived in that same fear of being ?setback? and I was. I was denied the right to attend my grandfather?s funeral, and I was also ?ROBBED? of being teenager. Unlike you, I was 14 and placed there by my parents?the other alternative (so I was told) JDC.
I could go on ad nauseam
It?s difficult at first and it sounds simple to say?but take it little bit by little bit. No need to go rooting up shitty memories, they will come easily enuff on their own. I recall hearing about a bunch of tires buried in the desert somewhere. Local Native Americans told officials not to bury them there, that the earth would reject them. They were essentially laughed out of the plans and the tires were buried. Eighteen months later all the tires had un-earthed them selves and had to be removed. It?s the same with shitty memories, they will come easy enuff, as our mind/body/souls will reject them and refuse to embrace such filth.
It may sound cheesy to say, but you are not alone. More people understand what it means to be a survivor of Straight Inc that you might think.
Welcome, I look forward to your posts in the future Doc.
