There is no future in sailing against the wind. Look three years ahead of you and see what is there waiting up ahead. Do you see a new character? No longer interested in Booze and the phoniness that follows close behind us? Alcohol as a compassion for our solitary life? The only friend that didn’t abandon you? No human issue is so terrifying that only addictions can cure. Every human issue can be solved by another human. Maybe it’s just growing pains? Many people in life wear several masks. We need to remove several of them before we get to our real identity. Don’t believe in violating the laws of hospitality by refusing a drink? Enforcing your daily limit of twenty drinks? No loyalty there. We don’t walk in a straight line at the moment of being drunk. The body has little function. Neither does the brain. How can you expect a distorted brain full of alcohol can solve your issues? You couldn’t solve them sober. With this being said “Why would you say you need a drink”. To do any task we need to learn how to do them. Our minds are all tangled up from the addictions abuse. Rehab can straighten our thinking process. Stop complaining that you don’t have the smarts for anything. Go to rehab and learn proper thinking. Do a project and prove to yourself that you do. What did Booze teach you besides acting like an idiot? Calling it quits on pursuing happiness? More comfortable in residing in the house of Booze? You can’t tell me it don’t bother you. So why live with it? Be honest and admit to yourself that Booze will never work in the future. Not in the past either. Don’t feel silly the way you live. Believing Booze is the answer. Hoping that Booze will someday work the way you want it to? Don’t keep drinking. It will never happen. Don’t be a fool to believe Booze is the magic elixir that will make all your problems disappear. Your life and your brain will. Do I make sense so far? Good advice? Then follow it. Living and torturing yourself. Maybe you have decided that a life of Booze is worthwhile. Somewhere down the road you will admit you are wrong. I know. I thought so too. Hope of happiness will return when we want to remain sober in the years ahead.Not having much luck so I may as well try and catch the wind.

A view of life will be what we need to have to sort out the good from the clutter. May take awhile but in the process we will be glad it’s gone. We decide what is important to build a quality life. The life of nonsense we just left behind us. We need a future plan not just for the near future but for all the years to come. How to spend our time wisely only a few seem to know. Have no interest in improving themselves. Who wants to live this way? Stop putting yourself through the emotional wringer. Don’t be waking up to find reality has passed us by. The life of Booze is a long road. Every mile shows. “The lines on my face can’t tell you where I’m going. They sure can tell you where I’ve been”. Driving around in circles half drunk going nowhere. Looking for nothing at all. This happens in every story of every binge we had. The bar hound invasion may have decreased over the years but not enough. I don’t miss it. No sensible person would. No sense being a miserable Boozer keep going back for more. What’s to like about it? Maybe you don’t like it. The last few years before I quit I was miserable. I just didn’t know how to quit. Rehab.Just do what they tell you. No better time than the present. Many people I have talked with tell me being sober is the best thing. The same people who looked down their nose at it two years earlier. Any activity is worthwhile no matter how boring as long as it keeps my mind off drinking. I was told this. Boredom? Think of something. Easy enough to do. Many pages from books to learn from. Start a sober life with a Glorious Beginning. With the Glory of the Lord.

“Hit the books instead of the Booze”

As long as my issues bothered me the more I kept drinking. When I drank too much proves Booze don’t solve problems. Why after years of drinking I didn’t notice it will never help? We all get tired of feeling dumb. We want to quit drinking and decide that “Anything is better than this”. We can all agree on that. Sitting in one spot for a long period of time can make us desperate for a change.Same goes for lifestyles where nothing changes. We chose to solve our problems with Booze. A better choice is to solve them without it. Back when it all started with our first drink we didn’t know there was another choice. I didn’t. Then I asked someone I knew. Rehab was next. Sitting in this drinking lifestyle for too long or waiting anywhere we think to ourselves “I don’t care where I go next as long as it’s anyplace but here”. I got tired of years of Booze. What’s next? Anything will do. For now anyway. Will be a distraction from Booze until we figure out what to do. Many ideas will come along and many for a short time. We need to find ways to stay sober. Whatever we do in life this can never be forgotten. This will be a constant search and improve ourselves with every new discovery. Now that all the Booze is mostly forgotten we learned one thing in life. “There are better choices after all”

Constant search for the cause and methods of prevention is what it’s all about. Search and find to rescue what’s left worth saving. Not only from addictions but also from our character. To rescue us from the torment of our lives. Internal madness is much more common than it should be. Running wild and don’t care? In time our minds grind to a screeching halt and fade to dust. Scenario of a life that nobody remembers or cares about. Our last Rites for the Lost Soul has begun. All that remains is the reflection of the reading. Departing to return to our normal lives we think about the careless life the Lost Soul left behind. To see a reflection in ourselves and a similar ending. We struggle to escape the disaster the life of addictions will turn us into. The fear begins with constant grief. many sleepless nights will follow and as many nightmares to come. where do I find the solutions to save me? The frantic search to save himself the race is on. Will I find it in time? Pleading for comfort to ease his troubled mind. Convinced his time is running short as he remembers the final moments of the Lost Soul and many before him. Thoughts of the possibility of following in his footsteps. more frightening is that he lived a similar life. Days have past and no solutions to be found. Could it be the final hours? What could save him now in his desperate hour of need? Constant need of Booze and the trust to get him through the stresses of life. Now he will trust the advice of a friend he ignored. Will he find him in time? He may. Will he save himself at the same time? Stay with addictions and become a Lost Soul. We have a choice. What’s yours?

Being told in the beginning when you took your first drink. All the disasters of addiction and grief that will follow. You told yourself and others it couldn’t happen to you. Why won’t it happen? How could you predict your plan will work? It will be different? In what way? After being told of the risks beforehand. Ask yourself “Do I still want to drink”? Your decision to drink was it yours or someone else’s? Why was there encouragement to continue? Especially from yourself? Why did you let a friend debate it with you? It’s hard to judge the depths of the water by looking at the surface. How will you know before diving in? By what someone tells you? Not worth finding out the hard way? Drinking isn’t either and with the same disastrous results.

Looking back at the cause of the problem and find a solution. A plan with the energy to get it solved. How did it start? I was never interested in marriage. Being a writer is my focus. Some people are not people-esque. Therefore I don’t fit in. A wandering writer is my place in life. Taking a course on how to survive a marriage is preparing us for the worst. Now we know what is ahead of us. Do you still want to be married? Not being prepared is like walking down the street with our eyes closed. Go in reverse to the beginning and get prepared. Learn how to solve issues before they happen. Because we know they will arrive. Not knowing when. Be into solving problems not into a worst case scenario marriage. Ending addictions can make a huge difference in itself. Oftentimes our frustration isn’t caused in a marriage. Perhaps in ourselves forcing ourselves to live a life we wished we never started. Go back to being single. To an interest you got depressed by giving up. Start again and plan a happier future.

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.
