"just sayin'".... I was seriously lambasted here for using that "worn out" term!
But what is worse? Your reply! I never saw you this way my friend.
What can anyone say, or do that will help a person?
Whether it be meds, counselling, mans best friend, or religion.
The chief method for AA members to quit alcohol is through God. It's been that way for almost a century! And, EVERYTHING else was tried...unsucessfully I might add!
Whatever your bias is, its unfair to rule out anything that may help a person in their time of need.... and that includes the Christian God.
Yeah, you're right. I was mostly joking and had completely lost sight of how the thread began. I certainly don't really think anyone suffering from mental illness is scum. Very unfortunate choice of words. Apologies to any and all offended.
