I guess some addicts forget where they come from, eh?

The guy that booed you was an a$$hole... there's one in every crowd. There will also be, IMO, one of those super-spiritual people that has wings and a halo. I try to stick with the humans - you know, the ones who understand that "changing everything" is (for some) a myth and unattainable goal. Some things just don't change and, IMO, don't have to for me to recover. I don't know about others, but I came to NA with college degrees and was a master manipulator. I could blend in with any crowd. Can I speak without cursing? Of course I can. Like SCT, my vocabulary is pretty long. I could be anything anyone wanted me to be as long as I was getting something out of it. Today I just be myself and try to stay aware of my environment. If I'm around kids...I'll make sure to keep it toned down. Although I'm not a total garbage mouth anyway...I don't concern myself with foul language. I didn't get clean to be perfect and I have to let others be where they're at.
