Since I read all this rubbish about allegations against John, I have been very upset.

Since I came her a year ago I have gotton so much help and much needed understanding from this board. If it wasn't for this help I would be in a bad state by now.  It has helped me through so much, and aided me in my recovery.

I am so grateful to John and to everyone here for helping me to where I am today. Of course if it were not for John and all his hard work the facility would not even be here. I have so much to be grateful for.

My life is getting better. The people around me are happier because I am recovering.

I used to think the disease of alcohoilism was a tragic disease, and I have had to battle with the demons of it so much in my life. I now see there is never an abatement to the visiciousness of this disease. This lashing out at a man who has given his heart and soul for the good of others is so so wrong.

Because I am annoyed it is hard to articulate my thorough disgust at this event.

I do not know John personally, but I do know that he is a genuine, sincere and caring person. He cares enough about people like me to want to make changes possible.

If he were interested in financial gain, I am sure he woluld easily find ways that are a lot easier to make this happen. Also, I am ashamed to admit that I have never even offered a contribution to you, considering I have gained so much. Thats my weakness. I am hovever eternally grateful.

Congratulations are due to you John, not this. This is so unfair.

Yours in recovery (thanks to you)
