THE PAWN

We are a pawn in the life of booze to glamorize and sell and persuade people to join us. Controlled then replaced when our interest fades out making room for the next hoodwinked follower. We stay a drinker for awhile then we feel used up and worthless by too much fast talk and glitter and burned out by social parties and spiked drinks with a strange powder then after a long time we decide to use common sense and retire into sobriety as a safe haven from the unsafe boozers. After a few drinks we become trusting to every drunken and drugged up patron we sit next to in the bar and this will end when sobriety begins at every sunrise. Strong coffee to comfort the ills of booze but the relief is always in being sober and not always about the body but of mind tossing out the booze and replacing it with sensibility and education. Boozers are used as a pawn to attract and sell liquor and other worthless addictions and we becoming one ourselves in time. Don’t be trusting and accept every addiction that is offered to you no matter how much someone brags it up or how close a friend they are and their not and why would a good friend offer you drugs and urge you to use them saying they are safe this is plain stupid drugs are never safe but coffee is so drink it at home. We need to accept the moral life to survive addictions users are no leaders to be followed but only into the life of ruins. A couple of strong drinks to get pumped up then we are like putty in their hands.

Read your bible instead of becoming a lost soul

JANUARY 28,1979

On this date about 2 am central time I entered rehab wanting to end the lousy life of booze and at the end of the 28 days I left there and never returned again. I had no success in quitting on my own so I tried professional help and they did in 28 days what I tried for five years to do. I was surprised how easy it is to end the nagging addiction in a rehab using ways I never heard or read about as I wasted years on fighting a booze problem when the easy solution was just a few miles away. When I was dropped off at the rehab I was told just do what they tell you and I used this for the whole time I was there and everything worked out just perfect and I also used it all during my sobriety. Some people quit on their own but not everyone is able to and maybe they never had a booze problem like a lot of others do. I was one of the worst boozers back in the day and no one can quit and addiction like that by themselves maybe one in a thousand or more and I say it is unlikely for anyone with a strong addiction to quit on their own. Rehab taught us ways to stay sober and how to lose bad attitudes and to prevent them from returning. Anger towards yourself, the world, other people is too much of a stress that doesn’t need to be in your mind at all so toss it out and live in the serene world problem free. We delay our trek to the sober life because we don’t know how to quit drinking but in our mind we want to end addictions we are humans we seek to end hardship because we believe in the moral life feeling guilty that we are not living up to our responsibilities of not choosing the moral life carrying around with us a worthless person and lifestyle to match. We say we don’t care and addictions is our only value feeling like a fool not believing it really is. This is offering you a better way to live so why reject it for a stupid reason to stay with addictions? I absorbed everything rehab offered me and kept looking for more and I don’t think people can get too much moral learning so with that said it never got boring for a second in my years of sobriety. The same can happen to anyone if you never give up the struggle and there is no day off it is every minute of your life keep reading and learning about morality it will be your path to a life of wisdom. I hope this post will jump start your enthusiasm to want to live the moral and sober life.

Rehab and the moral life and you will be following my leader

EXTREMELY MOTIVATED

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

ONE OAR IN THE WATER

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

BROODERS

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

SOBER TRAIN

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

LAUNDRY LIST

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

ON OUR OWN

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.

BREACH OF DUTY

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.
