Nice story about the tribe, Liza. Wouldn't it be nice if we could
surround some to the fanatics David spoke of who like to vent their
anger on this list, and help them to heal. Just keep telling them "Wrong
Neuron!" It's not us you're angry at. There's an animated version of
this on my site at: http://pages.nyu.edu/~er26/

Re: Diverting the anger during detox cises. It's really important.
Otherwise the detox is somewhat vicarious (like OJ killing his wife, if
he did) and these are less healing. Divering the anger toward our
parents who were probably the first abusers, is what clears out the most
toxic neurons. This is essential for full recovery.

Re: Addictions. It's the big paradox that sitmulants trigger need detox
crises, but are toxins themselves, like homepopathy. Look at anyone who
gets drunk and they lets his or her anger out. Addictions will not end
until the detoxification process is completed. Then there is no longer
as need or desire for stimulants.
