THANK YOU
I again wish to thank you all for your support as I deal with my problem. Tim, thanks for all of your support during our conversation today.
Fraters: Hazing is one of my reasons that my chapter "Zeta Tau" went under. I urge you that if you are involved in this behavior, stop.
One big thing that I am learning through all of this, is that I have overcome many things in my life, ( I am a recovering alcoholic w/ 9 years sobriety) that I have behavior traits that lead me to this and other destructive types of behavor. I've always wanted to be "normal", but now I am beginning to come to the realization that I have to accept who I am, and be able to recogize the factors early that may lead me to doing things that are in poor taste and judgement, and to substitute a healthy behavior.
When I was talking to my doctor, he told me that part of addiction is seeking a thrill. By my posts, that was exactly what I was doing.
So I plead with you that hazing is nonsense and if you're doing this type of behavior, please stop.
Mental illness and disorders are a fact of life for some people, and I am accepting that I am one of those people. Please fraters, if you see someone who is destroying themselves in one way or another -- DO SOMETHING! Someone on this board did, and by doing something, they have helped me tremendously.
I aplologize to all fraters of TKE, and to GLO's as well, for my inappropriate comments. I pray that no one gets hurt by them.
YITB,
Shawn A.
