i was a few yrs clean and had finally filed [and paid] my income taxes. Home group [NA] gave me an ovation. When i told mom she was like : "What? That's a big dal? Honey we ALL pay our taxes... "
yeah , Sure, 'you' Do Not Get It.. nor do you need to get it - it IS the mundane adult behavior that we addicts measure ourselves against...and yes, a while later I understood how important it was for me to understand that all i am really doing is learning to act like a grown up - so i DO need to STFU and don't expect a parade every time i do a grown up thing....
Still - me not using IS a miracle ...
