12 step essay esseee

I wrote my toulmin essay on how i think 12 step programs are bullshit. i wrote how its a scam and how religion is implemented without consent. feeling really strong about my side of the argument, i got in touch with an old friend from highschool. for the sake of his native american blood, well call him wolfcry. wolfcry and i were best friends in highschool, same taste in music, girls, and sports. he was a late bloomer in all aspects. he got stoned for the first time our junior year and helped me eat 2 bags of kettlecorn and whatever else we found in the kitchen. i didnt know this would start a long road of "shenanigans". after our second year of college we went our own ways, he went to school at kansas university and i pursued my career in fire. it wasnt til the night before our essays were due that he hit me up on facebook. the 3 years we didnt talk he took the "high" road. no he didnt excel in academics, sports, or girls. he excelled in cocaine, mdma, heroin, and pot. he went through rehabs, interventions, and counseling..12 step programs included. facebook is for creeping, status updates, yada yada..but him and i had the most interesting and intellectual conversation ever. questioning the meanings and purpose of life, it was evident he spent a lot of time watching the discovery channel high off his balls. he said if it wasnt for the 12 step program, he wouldnt be 11 months clean. he found his "higher power" to help him succeed his dark past of narcotics. wolfcry reminded me of the first time he smoked with me in highschool and i instantly felt at fault. we took different roads after highschool so he ensured me he was responsible for his own decisions. unfortunately we had this convo after i wrote the last page of my essay but it truely opened my eyes to the positive affects 12 step programs have on people. the biggest impact on people who need help are people who want to help. adios
