Ryan was 25. He lost his sister Sarah from Suicide last fall and I met him on the www.stinkin-thinkin.com site. The threads are still there. 

Ryan and I became friends. I connected as a mom and as a freind. He told me about how angry he was after spending 2 years at an all 12 step treatment center that didnt help him at all with his mental and emotional issues. 

Lots of phone converstions and emails and reading Ryan's posts as well as what he wrote on his own blog steppin on suicide.

How many more people does AA/NA kill with suicide. I know many more. But No young person should ever step a foot in 12 step as I see it now. Join me for a 1 hour show on suicide and Alcoholics Anonymous.

The "you are broken forever" program.
