MindfulMan,

In the context that Trimpey is using it, as part of his informed consent list, item #12, "your own native beliefs and original family values are the best ones upon which to base addiction recovery" simply means that you do not need a new, and possibly foreign, design for living, in order to recover from an addiction. You can stay just the way you are.

Although Mr. Trimpey certainly has become more conservative over the years, Jack is not using the term "family values" there in the way the anti-LGBT fanatics often use it, which I presume from your pride flag user avatar, is what you are in fact referring to.

Terminally Unique would post in the LGBT forum on this site, and Jack Trimpey nevertheless gave him permission to facilitate AVRT discussion on Sober Recovery. I believe that it was understood to be a non-issue, in the larger scheme of things.
