Greenwood, I enjoyed reading that, and most who are sober through their own decision making would agree with you. I certainly have arrived at many of these opinions and conclusions for myself. I try not to extend this understanding to others cause it tends to be perceived with an emotional response, a defense followed immediately by an attack.
So, for me, I try to make it clear that when I state these ideas, I state them just for me. (see what I just did there?). You might find this works for you too.
My backstory is easily read here on these pages, so I am curious about you- how did you come to arrive at this position?
