Wow.  This kind of cuts to the bone.  I have to agree.  And it is not only the "misinformation" and "self-perpetuating dysfunction" that is dangerous.  Playing mind games to boost one's ego at the cost of hurting people is just wrong.  It became too painful for me to keep reading and that is why I left.  Why people cannot see this is beyond my understanding.

Interesting though Rhaj.  I never thought about the effects of an acoholic tapering off.  I guess when one has not been in that situation you do not think about it or how dangerous it is or rather how impossible.

This is really sad.  Or maybe really sick.  Or both.

I am holding back a lot of how I feel right now.  Gotta do that on word so I can edit my spelling.  Problem is I write it all out and then delete it without posting.
