LOL no need for an apology, mark. Being puzzled is not a bad thing. It pushes me to keep an open mind, which is important for me in my recovery.

I strongly related to the OP's feeling of dissonance. That's why I posted. Hearing all experiences is helpful to me, even those I disagree with. That's why I love SR. It is nice to be able to discuss differences without becoming combative or snide.
