Researching around this cause I thought it was interesting, certainly not an expert. Apparently your case is considered an “accidental American” and you can probably search for others in your scenario. The IRS has a tax treaty with Germany that should be able to help you reduce (or maybe eliminate) your tax burden.

As a recovery facilitator for a decade, hopefully you would have developed some skills in empathy. Everyone is approaching their sobriety journey from a different place, and it’s reasonable to assume that their world view and lived environment is foundational to their story.
It’s unfortunate that you are feeling personally attacked by the recovery community striving to be inclusive of all who struggle in different ways than you do. What happened to “look for the similarities, not the differences”?
It’s not lost on us that saw you share your vitriol this morning, have it summarily rejected by reasonable minds, then go shop around for affirmation in different circles. If this is your idea of creating a safe space recovery, maybe you should reconsider your role. I’m sure there’s a place for you somewhere, but I imagine your politics are blinding your ability to help others progress on their journey. You’re not the leader you think you are.
Just restarted “Getting Things Done” by David Allen.
Also slowly making my way through the short stories of Thomas Ligotti in “Teatro Grottesco”.
