I was a hippy. The government had big plans for me on Viet Nam. I was living in San Francisco when Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young said "Time to get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down, should have been done long ago."
See, I was crusing along fine in NA and then the new people said "You will change your beliefs to conform with ours or we will demonize you".
But I had seen their ideas tried before with devistating consequences. I had no choice but to keep doing what I had been taught to do.
Put yourself in my shoes. I go to get my colonoscopy and it's supposed to be on the natch and I get there and now it's going to be non-narcotic and they have an anisteologust there and upon further quizzing the non-narcotic is demarol and Valium. So I get up to leave.
It's all I know. I've had it drilled into my head.
Yet I mention the above episode and the hyienas jump on me.
You guys are killin me, your killin me.
