Ok I never thought I would start a thread in the srious area but this fucking pissed me off!! I was just reading the other message board and someone had mentioned that thier was testimonials up so I went there and as I was scanning (I admit I could not actually read the rubbish) this one caught my eye:

"Hello! Um, let's see man..I dont know. I I was 15 when i found this program. I had just gotten out of detox for heroin..for the 4'th time. I knew that i needed to be sober but out of all the things, counselors and rehabs that i'd seen, i was still sad and hopeless. Utterly screwed in my head. I just wanted to die. I hated, HATED, hated myself. So i got sent to this place called insight..just a sad, hopeless young girl. scared as hell, wasn't planning on staying. Hell, i was from powdersville. i didn't want to live in augusta. to big to me. But i did, i stayed and made a choice to let this work and be honest and thought"if this doesn't work i can always get high" so i gave up running my life and let yall help me. Slowly but surely that weight that i had been carrying for so long, got lighter and lighter.(cant spell sorry)And i was smiling and laughing and having fun, without getting high. which still trips me out sometimes. And dude, i cant explain it..You know, everything changed from the way i saw myself, to being a good person, the way i was with people, even the way i talked. I found alittle bit of who i really was here, and it was scary as hell but worth everything to me. I had lows and highs, still do. Life isn't perfect. But i got a year sober and the best damn friends i could ever have asked for. This place saved my life, literally. I'm just grateful as hell for everyone that helped me. I'll always be in debt to those people and this place. Miracle's happen here all the time and i get to be there to see that, and it rules man, really does. And the coolest thing about my life is that i love it. Thanks"


First of all BULLSHIT!
Second of all BULLSHIT!


Ok let me start, this 15 year old girl is addicted to heroin and has been in rehab 5 times, I can not imagine going through a detox with group members around. For instance when I went back when I was on dope the second I started getting dope sick around those annoying ass fuckers I was off to get high.
Also I eman if this chick is battleing a physical or phsychological addiction she is not with anyone who is quaified to help her, I mean WTF is Geffan going to say to her, yeah bro reach out and ignore the convulsion the love of the group will help you! Fuck that!
Thirdly Bullshit!
This sounds like a made up story, I just can not comprehend anyway in YG having this gnarly of a story without it being utterly fabricated.

Fourth Bullshit!
I can not believe she actually started her story with "Hello! Um, let's see man..I dont know." You have to be kidding me! She also states in the story that "I can not spell" o.k. I CAN NOT spell and when i am writing something for my job or any company i am working for I use fucking spell check! It is one thing when you are casually bullshitting with your friends not to spell accurately but when you are doing a testimonial for a company that is another.... edit** The I I at the begining or the sentace was in her original post, I did not do that!
O.k. Enough I am going to attempt to work to try and forget about that garbage!

Webmistress,

I fully agree with most of your assesement, however:

I was fifteen when I first got there and was addicted to opiates in another form. Pills, lots of wonderful pills! I was already, at that age, plotting on ways to hurt myself or fake pain so that I would be prescibed drugs. Add the fact that my mother and grandmother are nurses and have their own little problem, and you got one fucked up girl. I was left to detox in an older group members little sisters bedroom. I was there for five days, taken care of by their mother while they were off at meetings and functions. I had convulsions, chills, night sweats, hallucinations(spelling?), was throwing up and when nothing was left, dry heaving. I totally lost track of time, where I was, and was in real physical pain. The fucking blanket hurt my body, and bath time? Forget it, the water was always too cold and it hurt to shiver. I detoxed in the group. Was it the smartest thing for them to do to me? Fuck and no. I should've been at home or in the hospital. Am I grateful for what they did, making me detox off of four straight years of popping(I started when I was eleven). Um, that's a big negatory as well, but it IS possible to do and it MIGHT be possible that her drug story is somewhat true. Either that or you and I are a different breed.

Also, NO ONE is going to be able to relate to her if it's true. I remember sitting on the side of that chicks little sisters bed and shaking like a chihuahua and she looks me in the FUCKING EYE and says, "I know how you feel sweetie. When I tried to quit smoking pot...." I started screaming bloody murder and told her to get the fuck out of her own house or I was gonna rip her throat out! I feel sorry for her if her story is true, but it's probably not.

Funny, when I went back in 1997 to older group, it happened again where this time I was detoxing off of pills again and meth, and some hippy ass chick was watching me seize up and she walks over and tells me to have a smoke and have I tried echinacea? These people are morons and I wonder if they fully realize how damamging their ignorance on chemical withdrawl is. People could fucking die without the proper medical treatment and they have noone to blame but themselves. You and I just happened to be really lucky or really stubborn. Perhaps a bit of both.

Oh and about the spelling.....yeah I can't even go there. If she's "smart" enough to get on the computer, she's smart enough to google up Dictionary.com. Giggling in your own post about how your spelling sucks is not endearing and doesn't serve to further legitimize her testimonial or her "cause".

it was at www.insightprogram.com or something like that...

And fourthly BULLSHIT!!

I agree fully. Remember though the sicker you were or made your self look, the more of a "success" you were in the program. Afterall what is it that scumbag Meehan used to say? "the sickest motherfuckers here make the best staff" (he said staff as though it were spelled steaff. Used to make me want to punch a hole in his chest)
Doesnt surprise me someone would say all of that in their testamonial. They want to be the sickest.
I think Geffen would help them by simply saying "Don't worry about it, just call your rich dad. Oh, sorry I'm the one with the rich dad, I don't know what to say, but stop being so self centered and reach out to a newcomer."

If we had an emoticon for hysterical laughter, I would've used it for this remark.

Ya know, I had forgotten all about that "who's the sickest motherfucker here" game. I remember having one on ones with people and the asking me about my story and I would tell them about my mom giving me Xanax and Vicodin at eleven and they would interupt and be like, "dude there's nothing you can tell me that I haven't done. I mean my dad used to smoke herb(first dorky clue that this person sucked)around me when I was growing up, so technically I've been ingesting weed smoke since I was three." Wow, you little upper middle class bro dawg bitch. How was the withdrawl from your weed "habit"? And why the fuck did you ask me talk if you wanted to play a who's dick is bigger game? You don't need to blindside me, just admit that you're a moron cause you feel inferior to someone with a real goddamn disease and admit that in the real world, you woulda been my bitch. Or the classic, I only smoked weed, but I know if I was out there, I would be the sickest dope fiend on the planet, that's why I NEED to be here. You keep telling yourself that, sweetheart. I always thought that the truly sick ones were kinda cast in the "not a winner" light because the staff had NO FUCKING CLUE how to deal with a real dope fiend. Hollywood was one of the gnarliest motherfuckers to ever walk through the door, and she never got put on SC or asked to training because she was too busy being a real motherfucking addict to care!
