John, I have a questions.  whats up with the after-care plan?  After I left MMS no on would really take the time to talk to me.

I was so shell shocked- for years and it felt like you guys couldn't care less!

John,

Please explain how using 12 step porgrams exclusively is useful when they promotes dependency (on God, but especiialy on the groups themselves) instead of self-reliance?

ie, have to attend certain meetings and if you don't you will likely drink/drug and die- you have to follow the steps or risk almost certain death...(I personally would consider more progressive alternatives like smartrecovery.com that instead promote self-reliance.)  It is unfortunate that this is given as the only (fear based) option, but that I personally kept going to meetings on and off for years until I realized I didn't need them (i wasn't an addict) and I instead needed to simply care for myself, respect myself, aknowledge my capabilities and learn to rely on them again.

I sure hope you answer the questions above.  i think it would help a lot of us out a great deal if maybe these tactics were explained to us and our voices heard we could understand why we still have nightmares.

i would rather you didn't sign this email to john and colleen on behalf of all mms alumni which is how it reads.
it's unfair for you to presume that we all feel the same way.
thanks.
