Welcome

Bound and determined means extremely motivated wanting to do something very much and not allowing anyone or anything to stop you. Resolution means to undo and when a conflict reaches its resolution it has been undone no longer fastened to our lives. New Year’s resolutions dates back to the 1780s drew from the determined sense of the word meaning committed not to change it. When a resolution is made the issue will stay gone and the goal will never end no matter what gets in our way. Nothing will change our decision like if you decide to live sober for the rest of your life nothing can stop you and your friends can never talk us into drinking again just turn away. Resolutions fail every year for many of us but the one resolution I stayed with is to stay sober and have for many years. No one can talk me into drinking again as I am bound and determined to live a sober life as I refuse to be a boozer again. Temptation is almost non existent I have a strong sobriety which requires daily practice and with being bound and determined and committed to have a strong sobriety for years you will be there. I was one of the worst boozers so I had to try hard not to return to booze again. It doesn’t matter how severe our problem is the same commitment goes into it. Making a resolution to change and stay with it is a promise we make to do it and the worse thing humans can do is to go back on the promise we made so this is why resolutions were created for us to stay with a decision and never back down like the word determined is our commitment to successful sober life and other issues that we need to overcome. Success is always worth the daily struggle. What success did you have as a boozer?

A resolution is our commitment to stay sober and never break it.

Happy New Year

Dry January by Alcohol Change UK was first started in 2013. Noticing the health benefits of sobriety many followers have decided to stay sober for years seeing how good it is. Alcohol Change UK is a British charity and campaign group that was founded in 1984 whose aim is to reduce the harm caused by alcohol.

There is also the Dry January Challenge. Since the beginning of the program many countries have been doing the same thing.

The life of booze is trying to navigate your destination with only one oar in the water. Just one binge is proof enough that sobriety makes better sense and too embarrassing to deny it also to include absurd. You will see what I mean when you have a few too many drinks it will show in your speech and in your actions. Rowing with only one oar in the water you will keep turning in circles and will become dizzy even after leaving the boat you will experience this when sobering up. One oar is for the life of booze both oars is for living sobriety. Both oars in the water we will travel a straight line and will see our destination ahead. Booze is one oar in the water a life of dizziness and headaches unlimited and bound for insanity with no return all because we believed that booze was the best fun we can have. The fun stops when our brain does as it applies to many boozers but not for you if you live a sober life. Early morning sun and a slow boat ride for the exercise and many small discoveries along the way is the best way to live sober. Forget about the one oar lifestyle of booze and grab the second oar and keep your life on a steady course. Any person who lives an unorganized life doesn’t have both oars in the water staggering and confused and don’t care about their life but this can end when you find a better way to live like staying sober.

The next time you take a boat ride on your next night out take both oars

A person who broods depressed about something we can’t stop thinking about. Being sober doesn’t bring the blues into our lives we bring it into our sobriety. Feeling grateful that our addiction is finally gone makes us feel we are stepping into a joyous world and the past negatives are not allowed. This control will be the creation of that energy the constant spirit of celebrating that never ends. There is nothing positive in the life of booze same with our lives as long as the alcohol remains inside us. A healthy attitude will keep sobriety alive as well as our mind without it will fade quickly. We sit and mope and cuss about our days of being sober then go out and get drunk and cuss about our hangover. This is the routine between binges but those days are long gone sobriety is better for us. Every sobriety will be successful by not brooding over a lost drunken social life. There is no such thing as drunk and social life. Being better off without it why waste time feeling miserable and depressed because it has ended. Don’t let your past dictate your future. Drinking and being sober is not your sources of happiness? What is? The sobriety we once had was the most important of all the values we had and when we gave it up there was nothing of value we had thought was more important than booze so depression smothered us. Our important values made us turn away from booze most important is our sobriety and our moral life and living both will not depress you any further. The joy of the sober life waits to be experienced so step right in no brooding allowed.

Leave the brooding at the curb and get on with your day

Climb aboard the sober train carrying us away to better life and let it ride. Leave the grief bound life of booze behind us. Pumped up on booze and miss the joys of Christmas and prefer the suffering of being drunk. This is your chance for the good life ahead so take it or the train will leave without us. Too much thinking about booze turns into a plan and talk ourselves into doing it. Sobriety is a good plan all riding on the sober train to the same place to live a sober life and the ride never ends. The stubbornness of boozers and bad scenarios of life with no effort or interest to improve then we remain the same and more booze awaits. Drinking booze always makes us feel poor and in time we become paupers poor of money, spirit, and knowledge in sobriety we feel we became rich with much common sense. The sober train is a lifetime ride if we choose it to be steady flow of learning about ourselves and amaze ourselves how much smarts we really do have that was always hidden by a brain pickled in booze being no use to us at all. Why refuse to walk away from this? Being pickled excite you? Enjoying it? If not then get on the sober train and no waiting just stay sober is all it takes to ride on the sober train for as long as we live. Nothing is easier than sobriety I do it every day for years and the excitement of the ride never wears off and the train never gets crowded and always guaranteed a seat for as long as you stay sober.

Get on that sober train and let it ride until you die

We chose to accept the life of booze and our laundry list of problems that we didn’t know was coming. Refusing to move on from the agony of the long list we locked the chains onto ourselves. In the beginning the list was only one issue then we added more too many for us to solve. Issues of booze add up in short time as well as our insanity. Our lives are broken in tiny fragments not finding them all meaning that person will never exist again then a new person is to be created and a better one this time and only found in sobriety. Our thoughts in the life of booze and drugs turns to panic with death scenarios of imagined events that gets worse in time then the final moment of the last dose or your life ahead with permanent insanity unable to choose anything for yourself. We believe someone important could come out of a drunken binge to remind us each morning sobering up that this person could not exist in real life but the reality is that we live a phony lifestyle fools to believe it’s worth going back to. Bad enough we lived the laundry list that the booze created even worse when we refuse to quit and meditate and worry about our problems we add to the list for every binge we attend. Better to be a sober fool than a drunken fool. Better yet stay home and be a fool than to spend money traveling and buying booze for the night staying home and be a fool is all free.

Important people are not made by living the life of booze

The most true form of energy comes from having success after a long struggle of failure. Making good decisions is a feeling that comes at times and the next step is the hard work and study of sobriety and the success of fame and fortune. Even more energized that we did it on our own with the help of books and the advice from other recovery people. Self-importance has finally arrived in our new life and we worked hard to create it and now we must use common sense to protect it and not be careless an lose it. Temptation is the worst evil in every life it creates a disrupted life and regrets and depression when we follow it where it leads us and other boozers will urge us to relapse and join his group of weird followers. Constant drive to keep yourself away from their urging telling them you want a better life and send them away and you may return when you decide to live a sober life like I do. Push out your failures they only make you weak. We need knowledge for survival to keep us alive and smart not dumb and careless. This is our new life live it sensible and sober and brag about it to yourself.

Bums and booze and worthless chatter was our choice yesterday and now today we chose to be smarter.

We are the cause and damage of our own breach of duty failing to do what is expected of us turning away from our duties not caring about our safety rather be disruptive and rude and miserable with no interest in personal qualities of any kind. No control over our behavior not wanting acceptance in society only in a crowd of boozers and rejecting the better person found in the sober life. There is no such thing as skill or luck in the life of booze just the bottle to hang onto not a solid future like a skill and a plan to improve us and when the bottle is empty the depression begins crying for more.

It takes no smarts to do our simple duties and do what needs to be done so why get drunk to avoid it? Spending too much time giving advice to other people trying to control the lives of others and not a few minutes for our own life. We want to see other people improve and not wanting them to be failures like us so why not join them? Lack of confidence? Lack of something that holds us back then we try harder to escape booze and not wanting to return again ever then we want a better life and be a responsible adult and do our duties that we must do without complaining.

Breach of duty is mostly intentional human failures like avoiding sobriety is.

Back in the day when I was a boozer I walked into a liquor store for some beer and told the girl at the counter that I didn’t want to drink. She said you are the third person who said that this morning then added you could start a sober group. I said maybe I could put a sign on the counter that reads: If you don’t want to drink call this number and the girl said it would be a good idea and she said I could. I never printed a sign to place on the counter but I never forgot the idea.

It is true that we drink because there is nothing else to replace it

Scenarios like these are carved in stone as it must be I haven’t forgot it in fifty years.

Why didn’t I forget this?

Doing things the same way as everyone else is boring as applies to most subjects like art and music and planning a night out and what to do there. Traditional forms means following the leader but not always a bad thing like learning ideas to be a writer but a bad idea following people into drinking and drug use because we feel it is the ultimate good time with a disaster in the end. We need to compose a better plan for a good time and write a new meaning for everyone to follow creating a parade out of the weekend binge and ruins of life. This is a time more people are following the sober crowd and high on life and not the addictions anymore. The addictions life has declined over the last few decades as I have witnessed so it is time to follow the new traditional form of living a sober life. It is a tradition to drink to have fun but is it a fun time? Not when the morning comes. There is no variety in drinking parties but the things to do on a sober evening is endless put your imagination to work. No one likes to stay home on a Friday night go out and do whatever but stay sober doing it. The drug and alcohol crowd defines and lives a worn out traditional form that we are not interested in anymore sobriety defines traditional forms in a new and better way it’s new so live it sober better than getting drunk and feeling ill.

If you don’t like what you see turn away and do something else
