Rob, if society didn't force this stuff on us on a regular basis, there would be no need for us to blow off some steam. Unfortunately, that is not the case... unless we want to completely isolate, we are constantly bombarded by this type of thinking. Some of us do go to meetings and read the 12-Step forum, where our types are lumped in with convicts, liars, thieves, and dream destroyers. And if we stand up for ourselves, we are thrown out of meetings and have our posts removed. Right now, I'm actually having 12-Step treatment being forced on me by the Department of Health and Human Services of WA state. So... I need a place to vent!
