GRATITUDE

The life of booze and sobriety is our own design wanting a sober life is how I chose mine. No more placing a value on the life of booze and not on my soul. Living the twelve steps helped me stay sober I’m living proof. The more I live sober the less I remember about my drinking. My hardships no longer beg for booze for comfort. I study them in a book that tells me ways to solve them. With our first drink it was the nonstop party and getting high but when the problems of the addiction came along we needed booze to comfort ourselves. I wasn’t thinking when I thought booze could help me with my problems. Just a bully to ignore. Some people may not enjoy being sober they would by adding gratitude to their lives. Don’t complain about being sober be grateful that you have a choice which life to live. Gratitude is giving thanks to yourself for choosing a better life. Being sober and grateful improves life, mind and soul. Living sober we don’t have to put on a phony act to hide our problems with booze. We face the worst of our drunken tormented life on display to the world in our intense moments of fear. Booze is not working? Let it stop here let sobriety begin.

Decide to give up the booze before you are unable to be grateful

SOBRIETY WILL PROVIDE

Many books have been written with tragic stories of boozers many like ours. With the interesting fact that all of us ignore the advice to turn away then we live them. Maybe we can’t relate to them. Don’t apply to us. Concerns all of us. The data collected about alcoholism is real we are one of those large numbers. Emotions is easier to relate to with other problem users giving us the message someone cares enough to help us. Feeling like an outcast we have the feeling of fitting in with a solution. Not being denied. We all need at least one value in our lives. Booze is more important to us. Sobriety is a value to help other people. This will not happen as long as we remain a user. Turns off our thinking so we are no longer useful to anyone. This comes back when our high has been cleared away with enough focus to see the problems we cause for others. Relapse tells us that addictions are more important than helping ourselves and others. As long as we are using addictions we can never be a mentor to help other users. Users have no value just wasting away and sitting in our own ruins. Walk away from the lifestyle and give yourself a reason to follow sober people who will tell you how to put value in your life. Addictions use is mind expanding. The only thing it will expand is your long list of hardships. The list never ends. Become what sober people can teach us. Join the crowd and reap the rewards within.

Caring will save us and sobriety is where it starts

YOUR CREATED LIFE

My morning thoughts begin with a latte and a blog post to tell the world how I created new ways to stay sober. They must work I live them everyday. There are times when the thoughts of relapse and sobriety gets mixed in with too much confidence. I created my sober life and chose to reside here. I take this life and my moral thoughts wherever I go and they keep me sober. Don’t live in a bad place the dangerous world of booze that gives you nothing but grief. You could never create this world it will create you. Not your creation just your bad choice to follow it. Booze is a plan to destroy your mind and build you up to be a loyal follower. Digging its claws into your soul and squeeze you to death. Booze will want you to live your life the hard way more amusement to watch you destroy yourself little by little. Your plans for a sober life are pushed aside allowing the life of booze to give you generous amounts of grief and abuse and when you were cheerfully drunk you agreed to accept. Boozers in the past have chosen a relapse after a long sobriety to end their boredom of sensible living. Recovery wasn’t as easy the second time around. Will destroy your mind quicker than booze. They struggle with this and could avoid this disaster if only he would have had the sense to accept a good life when he had it. As you can see relapse doesn’t make any sense. Didn’t protect him but sobriety would have. This is a warning to stay away from the dangers of relapse and in a lot of cases their minds are altered permanently. As long as you stay focused and live a sober life you won’t have any problems. Your created life is only found in sobriety and the way you choose to live it.

Sobriety is a safe haven. Reside within its fortress

RELAPSE

Guilt and anger are causes to reach for booze creating a dangerous mixture of intense emotions and high stress. Allowing them to grow means we don’t know how to remove them. The proper mix of emotions creates good experiences to learn from and enjoy. The wrong mix of emotions is like water and oil. Living with a disaster and curious for a cure is no picnic by a long ways. Several worst case scenarios pops up and start to panic afraid they will all happen to us. We need to stay away from the emotions we are sensitive to and avoid the lifestyle that requires them. All the human emotions don’t all work at the same time. We need to understand that compassion and love to create and inspire harmony. Hate and anger to remind us of our faults and need to be removed. What good are they? Guilt, anger and stress make us so jittery that we find it impossible to relax. Stay away from any source that creates problems then all you have left is serene moments. Relapse is too much stress piled several layers thick then it becomes too heavy to carry. Don’t worry about a mistake you made the most important thing is to make sure you don’t repeat it. It’s all about prevention and tossing out the worthless issues in your life. Start again and forgive yourself. As long as you stay relaxed and serene and don’t put problems in your life the grief is gone and relapse will not happen.

A strange mix creates strange behaviors.

A BETTER PLAN BEGINS

A new year has begun with a plan for a better life to stop the hardship and the constant complaining about our worthless life but will soon end after we stop the booze and put some quality in our lives for the coming year. Don’t sit and complain toss out the sources of grief and failure and live without them. The booze will dry up and so will your stress and craving for more booze and drugs. These are the causes of your failures so a new plan is to live sober and relaxed. Sobriety is like an alms to help the problem drinker. They will use it to turn our lives into a better one. Sobriety works the same as an alm. It provides generous rewards without end. Money is used up sobriety is an endless supply of learning. When we live careless, clumsy, and foolish living sober is the only way out. I did live this way and I never fit in. Trying to find the place where I fit in and I have found mine. I am a perfect fit in the life of sobriety. Everyone is. We all fit in and also with the twelve steps of A.A. One size fits all. Guaranteed. No doubt about it. Nothing is more perfect or sensible than sobriety. Don’t be the type of person who refuses this good advice. Listen to it and live it. Blame yourself if you don’t. Don’t put your present and future life in a difficult situation. Relapse means to go back for more grief. Telling yourself you don’t want this drunken life to end. That it’s better to be drunk than sober and cry about it. Don’t expect any mercy from anyone that has to come from you. When you get one shred of self-respect in you a little mercy will follow will make you stand up and march to the rehab. Then you will see how sobriety will protect you for the rest of your life. Days to recognize your grief, sympathize with your loss, then regain your life endlessly.

Don’t spend the best days of your life slowly turning into a dying boozer.
