And I truly hope you don’t die trapped in a lie either.

All the best.

‘Sir’.

I just read bits of your article, specifically bits that you comment about God, and I would like to say that maybe you should stick to commenting about things you know something about. Just to clarify, Abraham knew exactly what God’s plan was and he knew God would supply the sacrificial lamb, as a forerunner of the ultimate Lamb He would provide as a once of sacrifice for all sins, every one, even all yours.

Another thing, and this is my personal opinion, is that any man, more so a highly educated, intelligent one, who denies there is a God, an Almighty Creator, is actually a total idiot. Any person by just studying the creation, and study it in depth, and still think this could have happened by “accident” is surely an idiot just trying to fool himself!

I pray that God will be merciful and not cut short your life as you know it, before you get to know Him and His amazing love.

Strange how people living their own lives, ignoring God, pretending He doesn’t exist, are the ones who shouts the loudest about where He is, why is He not doing things when you need it? As if He is there for our beg and call!!

Maybe some of us should put as much effort into studying the Bible as they do science, then they would start to understand how big God is, and that we are just a speckle in His astonishing universe, yet He wants to have a relationship with me, and you.

God’s blessings

If Reece gets his way, you’d be HIV positive and have an extensive criminal/custodial record. You’d possibly be on anti-psychotics and [perhaps already are] on benzo’s of little benefit. Your children would be monitored, screening would be random and jail/removal of kids is the solution if you refuse. Your housing needs, welfare [if applicable - remember most users have comorbid health problems] employer, work colleagues, insurance, community standing, etc – all defined by the fact you might behave in a way someone doesn’t like. If you find you have a prolonged terminal cancer, you may also be denied analgesic medication. Please don’t think of you – pop into a cancer ward and ask staff how vital opioid medication is.

You need to decide if you suffered, or sinned. Was it a health issue or a morality cum damnation after death issue?

Rubbish? Excuse me – it is a matter of Parliamentary record – filling up to seven Hansard items, medical tribunal records, feedback from a huge number of GP’s in Australia, media publications, emails I receive regularly, investigative journalism [ABC], peer reviewed journals [in which Reece rarely publishes, and if so, never hints at his usual "magic bible" claims] and yes, Albert Stuart Reece himself provides most of what seems to have annoyed you.

I’ve never offered to help you, but refer to counselling, so why raise the topic? Never said I’m an atheist, why assume I am? Why are you returning to proclaim you don’t need to return?

Did you not first object because you were not only clean but alluded to an improved quality of life? Are you not now, really aiming to minimise any dissonance between your experience and what I have proved time and again?

Or is it guilt and/or revelation [no pun intended]? You were made to internalise the view that you were flawed. This is not true – because this means any person dependent on medication is flawed. Naltrexone is a brief gap filler, void of supporting data – few remain clean. If it sounds too good to be true… Were you on benzo’s? If so, you substituted one depressant for another – which is maintenance therapy, but maintenance using varied compounds. In short, poor mans methadone.

And your first blush with reality has actually upset you to the point of obsession, yes? The evidence is sound – so attack those who speak freely? How Christian of you. Not even a thought for the dead, no word to their families – who you are torturing – just this sense of righteousness, void of rationality, reason or any hint of why – evidence.

If that’s ‘belief’ then maybe I might become an atheist. Or perhaps I maintain that expressions against and for theism are both failing in-need Aussies? Either way, my claim that it is not just your dependence on drugs that has been “managed” is abundantly proven. You’ve been depersonalised and now spray vitriol where compassion is what one expects.

To your obtuse questioning. I do not block comments, as everyone’s input is valued. One of the reasons Aussies reject modern Christianity [fundamentalism] is because of it’s Conspiracy Theory mirroring, and assault on Free Speech. Your mind is attuned to a reality that’s been distorted and Fundamentalists spend an inordinate amount of time presenting a false front, which perhaps explains your strange questioning. Some of us have nothing to hide. Ask yourself why Dr. Reece does.

Only one person has been banned: another Drug Free Australia apologist. He is a danger to our community as a function of his psychosis and obsessions. Period. He too was abused as you were and set free like a wandering virus of misinformation/delusion. He too is callous, cruel and retroactively denies facts to cling to an illusion. Responsibility is a problem for those who are effected by drug free lobbyists. Conformity and depersonalisation is clearly a major aspect of their “treatment”.

You’re “commenting”, not posting. I offered to allow you an entire front page with any real argument in support of Reece. I offered to display it as the index – so all who arrive will read it. So, you attack me again: brilliant!

You’re all over the place. Do you want to just abuse someone who does a sound job, or are you filled with hate generally or do you need help? A minority read this blog which seems to be an outlet for someone claiming:

“I for one and (sic) VERY happy with my life and that is why I am clean today. Thanks to my doctor and my belief in god.”

Who are you trying to convince? Methinks your words and zero compassion and emotional immaturity invalidates this claim. How do you cope with newspapers, TV, several Crikey authors, Australias most esteemed scientists – who note naltrexone must be trialled and until such time must be regarded akin to Thalidomide? How do you accept the AMA’s position, the world renowned content published against this approach to making money from junk science? Or comedy sketches, prominent journalists, advocates and volunteers…. in fact 93% of Aussies who also do not believe in creation science or assume they are “the chosen”? You may – just may – be wrong.

Yet with respect, you’ve still provided no logical riposte nor shown that your situation can exist in consonance with what I’ve maintained – and shown absolutely – to be shocking events. You make claims outside the realms of possibility, which cannot be verified.

However, it is becomming clearer that your motivation is to harass an author, who contributes to a site, for a media outlet and who has no say about the title. You assume I’m an atheist which speaks volumes about how damaged your thinking is. I do have trouble with those who use god to abuse other human beings, and profit obscenely this way. And I say so. Why? To stop them creating more wandering viruses.

And I’ve been involved in opioid addiction for 34 years – long before Harm Minimisation saved so many. I’ve lived through the horror Reece seeks to profit from.

A flat Earth and green sky may have helped you but I suspect the hard work was down to you.

Which is perhaps what I’d conclude is most important here. You yourself have the ability to overcome adversity that most people cannot grasp. You actually won’t lose that ability and don’t really have to defend whatever it is about your experience that resonated with you.

It is unusual that you can’t feel for other human beings, reject responsibility and desire to exploit the pain of others to minimise your own guilt/confusion.

I hope you find some peace and can again enjoy the beauty of this one true chance to live and love others. I’m sorry I could not help you earlier.
