Some of us do care! Some of us know this is our only chance to make it! (Obligitory tears in the eyes) Some of us thank our Higher Powers for this chance! When I was using I thought I was a Billy Bad Stick too! But I'm straight now and relapse means death, the sooner you learn to work the steps and apply all this knowledge to yourself the better! It only works if you work it!! One day at a time.""

Rational Self something or a fuckingnother, it was all bull shit anyway. Does anybody remember the books they handed out in those classes? With the characters Rational Ralph and irrational Rachel or some shit like that. Completely pathetic, with some holier than though Senior staff, in my case Cris Cassler in Sarasota. Pretending to be some kind of psychology professor, and all that he was learning at Junior College. Probably because the dumb ass didn't have the SAT's to go to a real school. I remeber Straight telling the parents that when their kid seven stepped they would have more "Awareness" then somebody with a psych degre

 :rofl:

No, it's Cognitive Dissonance

Here's the Program definition
http://www.dmu.ac.uk/~jamesa/learning/dissonance.htm

And here's one from the more commonly accepted reality
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

I had a great deal of cognitive dissidance going on. That's what was generally termed "having bad thoughts" or "getting into your head" and eventually, upon voicing my disseidence, led to my getting "sat on" and then sent to "TR".


Dissidence is good, buddy. It really is. Voicing it is something that you should not enter into lightly. But having it is crucial to being a free soverign individual.

You should be allowed to do whatever you want with your own person and property, as long as you don't physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other.

It was both. RSA and RST. Never did really get the distinction. Now I suppose it had to do w/ the author finding out something about the Program and balking at trademark infringement or something.

To which I once replied "I agree with you! If I were you, I'd kick me out too! I'm an asshole! So why don't you step away from the door, Reagan, and kick me the fuck out of your group?"

I knew I had an ass kicking coming already, so it wasn't really any great risk. But it's still one of my prouder moments, even at this late date.

Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice.
