This is all ridiculous. I am currently in one of these groups, and regardless if its a cult or not, I am happy, my parents are happy, I don't want to kill myself, my life doesn't revolve around using anymore. There is always going to be debate on whether or not this is cult, I understand why people think that. I definitely agree most teenagers go through stages of experimental using, but most people I come in contact with that are in this group took it much farther than just experimenting. This group gave me a life. "I'm sorry, but kids will die over drugs, and I've ODed numerous times, but I am still thankful I had a CHOICE. As Americans I'm sure you understand that people would rather die with freedom then live as slaves." Yes, kids will die over drugs, but that isn't acceptable when something can be done to change that. Dying because of overdosing isn't dying with freedom, you're dying because a disease has taken control of your life. When I was using, I would do almost anything and everything to make sure I could get high, how is that freedom? Today, I make my own choices. I go to school, I have a job, I ENJOY being with my family, I have the best Sounds like I'm a total nut case.
Also, I've never met Bob Meehan, but none of my counselors have ever made a racist comment, believed that using makes people gay, or that victims of sexual abuse need to just get over it. In fact, it's quite the opposite, they are very sensitive and compassionate to these things.
