My experience was very positive. I participated to help celebrate and show gratitude for my son's first year anniversary of sobriety after a few harrowing years of drug addiction. Being a very claustrophobic person, it certainly was a major event for me. I was so moved by the whole thing that I returned to my hotel room and wrote a detailed description of the experience. This happened 4 years ago, but became the title chapter of my first book, released just last month, called "SWEAT: A Practical Plan for Keeping Your Heart Intact While Loving an Addict." I used some of the tools I talk about in my book to get me through the sweat and that experience made me realize that these tools really do work under stress and chaos. Anyway, I had the same experience you did with kindness, no judgement, no money, and gratitude and spirituality. Mark:
