In the cool shade and the afternoon sun discovered lifeless next to an empty bottle of whiskey. As to why this distant cemetery was his choice for getting drunk is unknown until later. Waiting for him to sober up to ask why he chose a bone yard a few miles from home when he lived closer to a different one. not to get drunk then wander to somewhere it had to be more than that or maybe just wanted to find a quiet place to drink the agony came to him and wanted to live there. Who knows what kind of thoughts are in the mind of a dying man not to be shared with anyone but his soul and maker. Thoughts like these should only be shared in the grave. He was asked why he chose this marker to lay drunk next to and his answer was: “Because the person here is dead and I came to join her”

His love affair died and whiskey is the romance that replaced her.

He chose sobriety for the rest of his life.

He learned that there is no love in whiskey.

Quick to find fault and degrade the next man is the way of life with every boozer in the land. Constant fault finding with other people with a status that could never equal our own but the person we find fault with is ourselves anger with our own failures doubting our own ability for everything. In desperate times people offered to help us but we refused knowing there wasn’t a chance we can survive on our own then remained a failure. We looked closer into our ability and began to be more confident and found out we were the only ones that can help us and teach us to help ourselves. By denying us the chance to listen to our common sense we kept pushing away our survival skills the next person has been offering us for years. A windbag is a person who talks a lot without saying anything important speaking right up so everyone hears us as this made us look and feel like a fool but did we care. Drunkenness and the loud senseless talk will come to an end when we listen to our own words we speak and shout when we are drunk. This is when we will look for a method to change our strange mind to a better one before we are unable to. For me booze came to an end all around me became silent and my loud talk became whispers and meditations to cherish. No one wants to listen to a drunken barstool windbag so stay sober and stop being one.

Give your drunken lectures to yourself looking into a mirror

In the midst of our hardship we see the long awaited visions and hope of a better life. The vision of a sober life is a gift and also to find ways to stay sober. Our pain must die to let the happiness in our lives and not be careless to hide it. We need to spend less time hearing our speaking voice and more time listening to our inner thoughts and learn from them before they disappear the place that we find creative thoughts and wisdom about ourselves that will give us many paths to follow to find wisdom at every turn. It will tell us the true meaning of sobriety that we chose the moral life to guide us not booze to misguide us. We have to have the sense of what is proper and when it is proper to use it. I didn’t always know this but I learned it slowly us humans can’t be without it being in the sober life is the proper way to live look how we lived without being proper. When we look into the darkness into the distant lights the fear that comes to us is our own uncertainty knowing we will not survive there the same within us we fear we are too weak to survive. We live too long in this darkness and no sense of power and confidence then our future comes to us in a vision seeing a better life as we would want it to be and only can be found living sober. We need to be honest with ourselves and know the meaning of proper and always live it so we can survive any issue that comes our way.

Sobriety is nature’s remedy for man’s ills.
