Taz, I admire you for learning to treat the prisoners without bias. I'm not sure I'd be able to. That phrase "They are in jail being punished, not to be punished" really makes sense. As for the exercise thing, I love that you're taking care of yourself! I'm sure you'll start feeling all kinds of benefits -- ask Tam!
Like you, I'm around SR but not posting as much -- I'm not sure lately how to post to people who need support, I just feel like saying "wake up"! So I'm not posting except in a few places. I have a big deadline on Tuesday and then flying to Chicago for the most dreaded conference of the year, but I've done it sober now twice and I can do it again
I'm glad you posted, Taz!
