On (07 Feb 96) Jane Kelley was mumbling to Anthony Defilippi...
 JK> Depends.  I hit my patients with a lot of education beginning when
                        ^^^^^^^^^? 
 JK> they first come through the door. 
 Annotations mine, 
 
 So Jane, we are not fellow recovering addicts or alcoholics to you?
 Just patients awaiting treatment....?
 
 You see the Army treated me like that and I still went on drinking
 for 6 more years....... and I remember what hell that put me through...
 Please confine your "sharing" here to your PERSONAL experience only
 that directly relates to your "recovery"....
 We are not health care professionals here, we are a MUTUAL support
 group of sorts that are based very loosely on the 12 Steps of 
 Whatever fellowship you belong to..
 that is based on the experience of the Moderator of this echo as well 
 as mine.. 
 We don't give unasked for advice (from the Alanon program) nor 
 do we play "Doctor" here, doing that may do more harm than good...
 So please limit your comments to "whatever" program you are working
 or I will ask your sysop to disconnect you....
 Simple enough?
