That I 'couldn't make it on my own out there'
That if I ever had a drink, that I 'might as well give up then because I'd already be so far gone'
That people are either Seedlings, or 'dry druggies'
That 'honesty is the first and most important rule;' however, questioning Art, staff or the Seed is 'totally fucked up.'
That my Higher Power can be whatever, it doesn't matter - 'it could be that stool over there' but 'for me it's the Group.' (for me, it's a life-long search.)
That all girls are 'gamey'
That 'getting into your head' or analyzing thiings, is bad - 'ours is but to do or die, not to reason why'
And for me, personally, that reading books, having an intellegent discussion, or thinking, is 'showing off,' or that making artwork is 'for girls'
Those were things I was told (in quotes) or taught and I have found them to be wrong.
