I came across this when I was searching for the Reach site and what I have read has angered and shocked me to say the least to the point that I had to stop what I was doing and type this.
I have walked the arduous path from the darkest depths of drug and alcohol abuse to well what for most is a normal life but for me is a dream come true with the help of Reach and Easton himself. To say I am angry does not even come close to the emotion the drivel and poison that I have read stirs up in me. I have no intention of going into any further detail about my personal private journey as the details are quiet irrelevant to what I have to say, and i did not seek out private and confidential advice to then post my personal story on the internet.
This site seems full of angry bitter people who are looking for an opportunity to attack something, its quite sad and has an air of irony, based on what I have seen those on here could really use someones help be it reach or some other mental healthcare professionals, to expend so much energy to attack a person or organisation must be a sign of some issues on some level. It is also a sad reflection of the world where anything positive has to be brought down into the gutter by those who are clearly already down there.
This 'Sun' newspaper style reporting on both Easton and Reach is inaccurate having taken
a 5 year journey of ups downs progress and relapse,
NOT ONCE was god discussed.
NOT ONCE was I pushed in any direction or 'brain washed' towards any belief system which is not proof of how good he is at doing it
hilarious, its because it did not happen. I have been the other side of my own personal challenges for 3 and half years now and well I still like a glass of wine with my meal and sometimes even 2 but I no longer have the desire to drink untilI 'cannot feel anything'. I saw a reference to vegetarianism and "being charged triple if you where a nympho steak eating alcoholic' and well I must have had a discount for 2 out of 3! (I cannot do the thing where you pull quotes out of other posts still a newbie so forgive me if I have misquoted but I am sure you wont mind that
).
I am still the same person I was and having been through this journey all I have lost is the desire for self destruction and the fear of what others think of me, I have recommended 2 people too Reach and have told them about what I read and they have reacted similarly to me, I think once those who have personal experience of reach or Easton himself get wind of what is clearly
a few peoples personal issues being dressed as some moral mission to save the innocent, you may have more of a challenge to prove what you are talking about. The Sun now has a Sunday paper surely this has generated a few more jobs I think a few of you should get yourselves down there!!
I think the cowedly way of perpetuating your vendetta takes all validly out of your claims name yourself show your evidence, stop referencing hearsay, surely you are dangerously close to slander with some of your comments??
I think you the question needs asking why are you 'really' trying to bring down a person and organisation that has helped me and countless others... Given your allegations the organisation you claim Reach to be a front of should have had a increase in numbers if Reach is programming people to become members can you correlate the numbers going through Reach's doors to the number of new BKs? or are we all 'sleeper' BKs waiting for the the switch to go off and don't even know it....
Seriously spend your time trying to do something half as positive and you take your personal issues with any of the afore mentioned organisations and let them go as you just sound bitter and twisted rather than trying enlighten and save others. I feel sorry for you and hope you find peace sometime but this is not the way. Take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself why are you really doing all of this, but you may not like the answer.
I await your venomous retort...
