A group of ex-boozers walk away from addictions and into a better way of life. Revelations of a prayer meeting session. Revival bound mission begun to convert the world. Low glow of the morning sun energized people arriving. With happiness that addictions is far behind them. Look back and learn from your mistakes but don’t repeat them. Their free-spirited gatherings includes dancing and playing guitar and singing songs. Tells how high on life itself can be an inspiration. Discover it. Live it daily. In the songs sung in the misty morning meadow they sang that Jesus is more powerful than a dose of booze. Their following increased. Each morning they returned to the misty morning meadow and never to booze again. Better to improve the mind than killing it off. Reflections of Jesus and their new life. And the music played on. Energized outings in the cool mornings of spring. Dancing in the heat of the flaming sun. Singing songs about Jesus. “In a jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you”

We have joyous moods as the party continues. Slowing to grieve as we hide our faces from ourselves. We get drunk on whiskey then travel to the riverside. Looking down at the black water trying to understand the thoughts in our mind. Confusion and fear and doubt if this life will end. As long as the alcohol continues to flow so does the price we pay to the creator of our misery. We paid the price. Take what you paid for. Paid for with our Flesh,Blood,Soul and Brain. End up in limbo or the cemetery. Going back for more is fuel on the fire. Addictions is a pleasure palace of grief inside our twisted minds. With a strange sense of loyalty. Skull and crossbones buried into our soul. Going back to the scene of horrors. Free ourselves from the tyrant addictions is. We become squeezed and twisted and shaped into an unfamiliar person. To obey unbearable commands. To live in the future struggling to find an escape. Reaching for the Bible desperate for Jesus to save us.

With this joyous beginning. This party never ends.

Reviving our spirits can be done in a church or just starting a better life. A plan with common sense can make the body energized. Surprised by being able to do it. Split the scene and take on a new groove. Usually means we were tired of the old one. The start of sobriety is the feeling of a new world in the morning. No more living the life of tragedy. A good feeling knowing the past is long gone. A spiritual revival is “A rebirth of a defeated life”. Bring yourself back to life. Feel alive. Create the confidence to do the things you kept saying you cannot do. Takes a clear mind to do these things. What kind of a plan can we make sitting on a barstool drunk? Planning the next drunk? Save yourself and your brain before it’s too late. I was told many years ago by a friend “Start showing some common sense”. Go to rehab and just do what they tell you. I did. I’m still doing it. There is something about the magic of mornings. Rebirth with the pale blue dawn.

Home life that can make your life a misery. Ever present fear of parental criticism. Trying to relax in the comforts of booze. In a routine everyone will lose. Experimenting with a self made noose. Putting money into a worthless life with plans we all regret somewhere down the road. Failed plans almost always makes us go back home. Leaving the failure behind and struggle to find a better plan. We think a lot about our failure, then less, then not at all. The painful memories will stir up. The shame, The hunger, The guilt, The rage, The cruelty of it all. A devastating life we lived and can avoid in the future. God provided us with a method of handling our own problems. All of them are printed in the Bible. Called the teachings of educated people. Written down for future Generations. Don’t blame God when our problems find no solutions creating a lack of faith. The faith is in our own knowledge struggling to find more each day. Inspired by God to inspire us. Alcohol and bar scenes is not the pleasure cruise we think it is. Just a paradise of grief.

There was a person who became a musician had a difficult time fitting in. As time went on Booze was the regulator of the human emotion. Changing the personality to become the hooligan it required to be accepted. This is not true. If this person would have stayed with the natural true colors would have discovered fitting in would have worked without the addictions. Booze and drugs placing an emotion within was already there at birth. I have been to parties during my sobriety and the people there admired it. The band member’s environment required a crazy image thinking only addictions can create. Stay sober and be a crazy actor. Using addictions cost a young musician a life cut short. All because of a belief that addictions was necessary. Coping with stress was another reason. The musician became the type of person that didn’t want to exist. This thinking is common. Fellow band members should have mentioned it. Now you have no reason to use addictions and be out of tune and more reason to practice being yourself and be in tune for life.

Explain your reason for pushing yourself into the neon spotlight. Afterwards being forced into the shadows to grieve. Why would we live this unpleasant life and pursue more? Hardship becomes the next worthless routine. A preamble for worse things to come. Rehab is avoided by users who don’t think they have a problem. Accepted by those who believe a better life can be had. Start each day with renewed energy. Have a shred of gratitude. Become a loyal sympathetic soul. To inspire drinkers to follow the path to a new life. Torn clothing with holes and wearing thin in places. Don’t serve the purpose anymore. Mending lasts a short time. Replace the old worn out clothing with something new. Our lives are ragged and needs replacing. Sobriety never goes out of fashion and never wears out. A style that is accepted everywhere.

Cannot produce the necessary impact of sobriety without the support of loyalty and commitment to a new way of life. Loyalty is essential to maintain long term devotion in order for the results of successful sobriety to happen. Success depends on how much time is devoted to the study of sober living. We are basically a soul to be saved. Imprisoned in an evil world. Finding fulfillment only in the life to come. Chained to the evil life of addictions. Finding peaceful living in a sober life. That is easily obtained. Living the life of addictions still has not convinced you that being sober is the better choice? What will persuade you? Tragedy or basic Bible reading? We all need to improve. Why continue with hardship instead of reform? Drinkers appear like they are enjoying the Booze but in their sober hours they confess they hate the life. A life of sobriety is offering you a way out. This is where we learn to count our blessings not our problems.

We need to change our life by knowing that a bad routine needs to end. To begin a better one. How to change is going to a rehab. Changing our worthless way of thinking to a better way. Rehab will teach you how to do it. Just do what they tell you. What to change into is starting with an interest we have and be more devoted to it. We start with ourselves first. Analyze the problems within then the cause. We can solve other people’s problems but not our own. This strange confusion is among us. With a small amount of maturity the power within will impress us. In our everyday walks of life learning experiences will emerge. When we live each day with a complete reform of ourselves we see us on the top of our form.

Think of what 12 drunks will get you compared to the 12 steps. With addictions use every issue becomes 12 times more serious. 12 less unmanageable issues. 12 times closer to sanity. 12 decisions to turn our lives over to the will of God. 12 entries on our moral inventory list. Admitted 12 wrongs. Removed 12 defects of character. Removed 12 shortcomings. Made amends to 12 people we have harmed. Made 12 direct amends to the persons we have harmed. Took personal inventory and listed 12. 12 conscious contacts with God. Had a spiritual awakening and carried it to 12 alcoholics for them to practice daily.

Living the 12 steps is a cheaper and better way to live.

“By the dozens”

Reflections during the morning after a drunk. The fear, Wonder,Embarrassment. What happened last night?Don’t remember too much and avoid hearing about it. Binge after binge. How can we live this way? Walking along the street looking down at our shoes feeling small. We should know by now that no one is comfortable being drunk. Relax and feel the comfort with a healthy mind and body. Perhaps there is a discipline problem we were never aware of. Holding us back from making progress in life. Sorting out the bad elements in our character. Tough guy,Macho,Champion. I’ve seen guilt and remorse strong enough to crumble them to the ground. For years after he was only a pile of mush. The addictions built him up instead of the Bible. We hid from the disgrace of our actions. Now we can hide from the disgrace of the lifestyle. How much more has to happen to us before we say farewell to drug use and welcome with open arms the life of sobriety. Living with the amount of disgrace that one binge can hold is enough to make us want to turn away from addictions but no we go back for more.

This is the morning after is this your final disgrace?
