Cuz I didn't really have any major problems to begin with.
Dam, see that?
It is statements like these that lead me to believe you are not being very truthful with the readers here Anne.
...
I see exactly what your saying Whoot, she has not been very accurate with her story either. If you remember she posted she was the lightweight of the group, then she also posted that she was involved with hard narcotics (to assume smack/dope), well I asked her about this a few weeks ago and she ran from the question like it was the plague.
Excuse me? Citation please. I was the lightweight of my group of friends in high school. The ones who were doing heavier drugs didn't get sent away and led a very successful adult life after high school. The only drugs I did before entering Straight were pot, alcohol and unknowingly a quaalude. Long after graduating Straight I did get hooked on opiates after two jaw surgeries (jaw was locking open literally every day for about 5 years before insurance would cover surgery that fixed it) and a lumbar surgery. There is a difference.
So you were prone to drug addiction, Anne. Your parents and the program rescued you from this path you were heading down and educated you on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. After the program you were free to make your own choice and you chose the dark path even though you knew it was self destructive. This went counter to your teachings and showed your parents were right in sending you.
As far as the jaw and lumbar I dont know how they are connected in to all of this.
...
Exactly what I was saying. Any sign, no matter how small, that indicates you might do any drugs, knowingly or unknowingly, is a sure sign to a good parent that you should be sent to a program to arrest that possibility. Straight rescued you, Anne. Then, as Whooter said, just because you didn't like their methods, you bash them. How's that for gratitude, huh? I think Whooter has said before that as soon as he caught his kid stealing his pot and pills he sent him to a program right away. He knew the kid was going to self destruct and he stopped it cold. That's what a good parent does, Anne. What a bunch of ingrates here.
