Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 I was in a halfway house full of ex-cons after treatment. I was a straight A student in College who made the Dean's list twice. I was in a wild fraternity and smoked a lot of pot and tripped on acid and mushrooms a few times. In this halfway house I was exposed to prison culture. After threatening to beat the daylights out of an ex-con and junkie. I found he backed down. Now a 40 year old man who wore eyeliner constantly followed me around and offered to perform fellatio on me. He always was trying to get rides to work from me. The halfway house manager said not to help him he had to learn to be a " man " and fend for himself. The Indian wino and the paranoid schizophrenic I lived with kept asking me how I made so much money. I simply worked as a temp for a factory and did telemarketing at night. I told my sponsor AA sucked and I wanted out of this hellhole. He told me I needed to pray more. I did and soon had a Psychotic break and was talking to God. I then ended up in the hospital. I actually liked the hospital better than the halfway house. My dad had insurance on me and I went to a nice facility. I often wonder what my life would have been like if I never was 12 stepped by these idiots from the Church I was attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I'm a 44 year old ex-junkie and " old hippie " (I take that with affection, Pete, but I'm more of an aging rocker). When we stared the alternative-to-AA meeting in the bookshop (not the Monday Borders thing) a Navajo Indian woman who had a weakness for wine came in, sat down and instead for reading the usual 12 step preambles, she reached into her bag and pulled out a copy of Anton Le Vey's Satanic Bible. We all just kind of sat there and said, " Well, o.k, whatever does it for her. " She was just testing the waters (she was a Thelemite, not a " Divil worshiper " ). The group thrives to this day and consists, at various times, of a biker girl, a gay musician, two drag queens, a handful of practicing good witches, a black lesbian and a white man who are in love with each other, a gothic rocker, a porn actress, an over wieght lawer, a school teacher, a stipper and " singing telagram " /rent-a-clown, a coulpe people on psych meds, a babbling poet....... the list goes on. In a previous post you described yourself as a large, over six feet tall Satanist who likes to give people what they deserve with your fist. How would you feel about living on the same block as the above mentioned people who, like the folks on this list, are also unhappy with AA? I've also had problems with sober living houses, but not because of the backgrounds of the people living there. It was the philosophy on which they were run that became the problem. Perhaps I've misunderstood your post. Please forgive me if I have. Like your scene name, Thoth, the Egiptian god of writing and knowledge, would have me do, I should concider the whole before I approach the particulars. My occidental thinking gets the better of me at times. With Respect, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 I don't mind gays and I am married to a Native American. She isn't a wino. I resent 40 year old men who hit on 18 year old straight men who don't want to be hit on. If that happened today I would just deck the guy. One of my friends is bisexual, he just doesn't hit on me. Actually minorities can be just as evil as white men unlike the medias politically correct version of things. I have some black friends too. I have seen whites in Chicago get the hell beat out of them for being white though. I actually have black hair and olive skin. In the summer I get really dark. I have some mediteranean blood in me. I am often mistaken for Italian, hispanic, native american, or Arabic. Actually I am prejudiced though. I am prejudiced against winos and street people. Most of them are white in this area. I feel sorry for the mentally ill ones but the ones who simply drink too much I believe they could stop. I am also prejudiced against either gays, 12 steppers, or born again christians who force their beliefs on other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
