Ok sry.I am the bad guy today.
You know my counselor told me when he was in treatment in the 80's he had a very hard time with it. And one day he was sitting in the hall way with no hope because he was struggling with treatment and a janitor of all people came by and said "Dont take yourself so seriously."
My counselor said of all the things he remembers from treatment that is what stuck with him the most. He said " Yea..Why is he." He also said when he stopped beating himself up over it but stayed focused was when he really started getting it. Now the man is a case worker counselor with a masters. I wasnt really sure why he was telling me that. But now I do.
So I am sorry if I offended anyone but hey ...There is a lighter side to EVERYTHING!!!!
If we cant find humor in some of our tough times then what is the point. But thats just me.
Really wasnt meant to be funny..just april fools joke ,Thats all...thats what it is about anyway.

"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting... The goodness is in the laughing. I grok it is a bravery...and a sharing...against pain and
sorrow and defeat."
sorrow and defeat."

Even with all my ODAATs this is not something that I or any of my friends joke about today.

Recovery is no laughing matter, this is true...but jokes are...I kinda thought it was funny. I feel it important to mention that I have been told that I have a twisted sense of humor........Cathy
everything is already ok

I mean no disrespect by this.. but i believe everyone has their own way to recovery.
I kinda felt bad for awhile from some of the comments. But then I thought why should I? If I want to joke on myself that is my right. And I refuse to pick myself apart over my addiction.
All that matters is I am clean and if that takes me goofin on myself once in awhile ...than so be it.
I am not a depressed person. And never have been. I am merely an addict needing guidance.
My addiction has robbed me of so much already. But I let it. I will not let it rob me of my humor in anything.
No ...addiction is not funny. But if you cant laugh at yourself once in awhile...Theres something wrong.
I am a goofy silly fun person by nature. I will not beat myself up over anything.
I do appreciate all your comments and I am always here for all of you.
By the way..I would never make fun of anyone else but myself.
And use better judgement in the future.
Nuff said? I love all of you for your support.
