But I think if you had left your opinions out of your post, it would have made it that much more compelling.
Sorry, but I read that line of thinking here daily and I strongly disagree with it, and the whole post is my opinion, not just the line you disagree with.
Scare tactics may have worked to help you finally participate fully in your recovery program when nothing else did, and that is a good thing. But sometimes using those same tactics in a forum where people haven't yet chosen a recovery path might push people away from the help the really need. I don't disagree with your method of recovery, just the way some of you want to sell it.
