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
