This newsgroup is supposed to be a place where people can discuss *recovery* and hopefully offer some suggestions or some hope to those who are experiencing particular problems in their recovery. It is not an appropriate place to react in anger and resentment towards other subscribers. I am sorry that you had the misfortune of being awakened by someone in anger,but this is not the appropriate place for retaliation! We are here to help each other through recovery,not to character assassinate each other and rip apart each others programs. I will be adding this thread to my KILL file,but I hope for the sake of those who continue to read this thread,any future articles will take on a healthier tone. -- Everywhere you go, -sher There you are. sher@umbc3.umbc.edu
