It is possible that JT is off his rocker, of course it's all relative. No more off his rocker than those of us who continue to poison ourselves for years upon years despite every manner of negative consequence. The addicted could most certainly be classified as off their rockers. Dismissing what you're reading based on a bias about the author is purely AV. You do understand that, yes?
Personally, I do think he is slightly off his rocker. Luckily that has nothing to do with the compilation of ideas he gathered from the self-recovered population.

Make sure you turn that finely tuned instrument toward your addiction. Obviously the Beast has somehow circumvented the bullcrap detector because as long as you listen to it and remain actively addicted then you're buying that swampland in FL. The AV is the most skilled con artist there is. When you can detect its BS, then you will be a master.

You're welcome. Sometimes in the world of "recovery", one only has credibility if they have time under their belt. I don't subscribe to that and I have no problem saying so. It only takes
one moment in time to make a change. I will never drink again and I will never change my mind....
