HANDFUL OF STONES

Searching for fellowship, social life, and wild times in the life of booze then we all gather around and share our memories of value less than a handful of stones. Based on drunken talk where the moral life is not allowed just booze and drugs and nonsense makes for a lousy social life and marriage and parent I ask when will you have time to be one always ill and planning the next drunk all our focus will never be on a serious life as we think we found gems to gather and store in special places but look closer it’s just the neon lights shining over items of junk of physical relationships or thoughts of guilt for choosing booze and the many promises we don’t remember after sobering up. We discover in the morning all the junk we took home that booze told us was valuable like a handful of stones drop them in any desolate area not in your sober life is worthless toss them out. We believe that juggling booze and a serious life will work but look around you many relationships have failed for this reason yours will too as time goes on or maybe just yourself will be a continuous drunken failure based on a few stones in hand turning out to be nothing but junk covered in neon glitter that you have been thinking is the perfect love of your life. Everything is worthless that comes out of the life of booze including us just another stone that’s kicked around.

toss the stones and stay sober and grab a handful of gems

BREAK AWAY

Old routines and other reasons to break away then we go back home to live away from the world as the life of a shut-in that we wanted to end reaching out to the social gatherings that didn’t provide the comfort we had hoped to find believing the life of clubs and bars was the cure for the blues turns out to be the creator. I had found in bars a roomful of failures and regrets and drunken conversations I knew I could never find a sensible life in all this confusion as it had to be to have chosen it. Our time should be short but rarely is as we come to know that being without a social life isn’t so bad after all as we may think that being a shut-in is a better choice than being a drunken bum that we chose to be. Sober groups are a social life spending time there creating a better person than the ones found in bars and clubs and losing your drunken bum status. It’s fine to break away but booze is never the answer just go to places where addictions don’t exist. Too much bitterness with bar scenes where is the fun with that there is none so go to a dance with no addictions at all this is where the fun is.

Try not to live like a shut-in get out and dance

ROADMAP

A roadmap is a plan of action to get us from here to there as we didn’t use one in the life of booze and all we did was go around in circles lost and confused and to not care if we were booze being our only concern and the roadmap we used then is to find more booze with no direction home and didn’t want to be there at all. Sobriety is looking good now as in the life of booze victories don’t exist at all so we suffer and live with it with no plan to get us out of the mess we made of life. The sober life is our strongest force our strategy for winning will come easier in the years of staying sober is our plan for our own protection not to absorb all of the hardships that come to us we need to see them coming then move aside let them pass us by so it will no longer be an issue to us. We need this plan aware of what is ahead of us to stop creating the hardships we have to live with and to end this nightmare this all ends by living a sober life our starting point that will take us to many good destinations living the sober life everywhere we go and I say this is the best plan of action that will bring us nothing but victories. We have been lost in the wilderness of booze for too long.

The roadmap of sobriety will take us home
