To turn from serious thoughts. Being occupied with an activity so we don’t dwell too much on serious matters. I don’t think about hardship too much I’m too busy focusing on a job I am doing at the moment. I don’t want time to worry about it. This way my serious issues comes to me in brief moments. Thinking too about our issues many strange scenarios can build up in our mind. More stress follows after. I think less about issues and often times a solution comes to me much faster and in a more comfortable way. I was taught this method in rehab to keep our minds off of our drinking. It works. I have been doing it this way all the years I was sober. I have a saying that applies to this. “Too busy doing my job to think about it”.

I find it difficult in my ongoing search to find serene sleep in a totally dark room. With moving human-like shadows. Silently walking closer to me as I struggle for much needed rest. Every night the shadows haunt me. Pleasant dreams are impossible to obtain. A nightmare always makes itself known and never arrives late. Dressed in a night-veiled cloak searching to enter the serene mind. To destroy the good dreams of all the tired sleepers. At some time in our ungodly life we committed a regrettable sin towards a sacred minded fellow. Our sense of guilt haunts us. Rising up in the darkness searching for calm sleepers to invade. The chill of the fear of death is placed mysteriously across the walls in the form of shadows. This night,like many others previously,we awaken suddenly to the slight haunting sound of soft steps of the feet. Perhaps a curious quirk lurks within us that we will not forgive ourselves. We welcome the haunting moving shadows and nightmares. Making us crave the enlightened moments of the sacred life? Is guilt our own nightmare? Tiny lights splashing gently on the thick darkness of a room. Destroying the power and energy of nightmares creeping about. Visions of comfort created by soft lights. To find our way to somewhere. Now the nightmares are secretly hiding and planning to find the next soul to destroy. All the while the nightmare was only our fear and guilt. The light of life not the darkness of death. Why is this happening to us? Guilt,Remorse,and Relapse will one by one destroy us all. These tormenting sleepless nights episodes will end when the sacred living begins. Until then the nightmares continues.

I am sitting here drinking my coffee on a cold frigid morning in Arizona. I am reading about a man who stayed sober for 40 years. Enough to make every drinker become jealous. I thought of you and perhaps you would like to join the sober crowd. It is a subject we struggle with at times. “A helping hand to the world” as he refers to himself. He mentions how no means no with no exceptions. People have tried without end to get him to drink on Holidays. No is his answer without end. Sobriety improved his life and will continue to do so. “No end in sight” he says because no is mostly the cure. Continue on in your life and live it. Sober without end. I didn’t want the booze or the thoughts of it to keep giving me a headache so I wanted to get as far away from it as possible. I do write about the events of the life to help people solve their problems not to make them worse by drinking. I have been doing this for a long time and I don’t see an end in the near future. There are many things to do instead of drinking pick any one of them and enjoy it and sobriety at the same time. A value we see in ourselves is what keeps us thinking that being sober is the most important thing in our lives. Always protect it. Never let your guard down. Be careful. We will always stay safe this way and always be grateful to ourselves for it. Yes?

As long as I stay sober my writing will never end

Providing needs and wants in a business world keeps steady customers returning. Staying with loyalty. We control our own activity by being loyal to our own rules. Adjust to a quality of life to a desired level. We select a procedure and make it work in a particular way. We use this focus to make sobriety work. Can also be used to improve and stay within our own personal boundary. Many people do this and live single. Improvements are occasional. No stress involved. No need to strain our brain trying to think of ideas on how to change ourselves. Ideas,Inspirations,Devotions,The Bible, to name a few. Improvements will happen just look for it. Look for it in the Book of psalms. Relax and wait for it. While you are reading think to yourself how good it is to live sober each day. This is a good way to regulate your life. To a desired level.

Nifaliophobia – The fear of being sober. May lose your friends? Won’t fit in? The sober life may become too boring? When I became sober none of these ever happened. I fit in better with people, made more friends being sober. Who wants to be around a person who is drunk? Drunk or sober we all get bored at times. I never had any problems being sober for 40 years. Instead of worrying about being a failure at sobriety find ways to make it successful. When thoughts of failure come to mind it’s enough to make anyone start to worry. Don’t think about them think of ways to stay sober then the worries disappears from your mind. They are no longer a part of our lives so leave them alone. Then the stress will go away too. I don’t understand where fear fits in with sobriety for me the fears were finally gone and never returned. Being sober is an easy ride the life of booze never was. Is silly to be afraid of being sober just live it and enjoy it.

Forget the fear of being sober it’s the easiest lifestyle we can ever live

Riding in the midst of the golden sun I greeted a sitting man. Spending his precious time gathering,selling,and reading books. Takes the time to improve his mind. Absorbing the knowledge in his educated mind looks to sell his sources to passersby. Quoted as saying “My books,the printed pages of knowledge,is my literary gift to the world. Study as I have and be generous to the unlearned.” Feels good to be educationally generous. Gathering of lessons as often recalled in his memory assembled in fragments to preach to an anxious waiting crowd standing in a usually deserted area. Listening with close observation and eager open ears to catch an inspiration of life as many often do. To frame their literary portraits in their memory to later on tell their offspring someday. Telling the world at the same memorable spot what the older fellows have learned years before. Much more wisdom will be gathered and will be told by all. Their portraits will be proudly displayed in a memorable hall. Tales big and small started by the Traveling Man unknown to all. He kept books other people did not care to read. He learned from them and preached the power of their content because he believed we all have the need to learn from the lessons that was written in the books he found. “A simple idea is called a seed”.

Why do we refuse to change and adapt? Don’t we see ourselves in the mirror? No conscience? Staying loyal to the profane life an honor code? Makes us feel alive in a promise of death lifestyle? Rather watch ourselves slowly emerge from life to death? Watching Rigor Mortis and decay as a way to stimulate our interest in the addictions lifestyle? Slow destruction into gradual wasteland? Smoking to eventually end in a pile of ashes along with our lives? Anxiously waiting for the day to come to see our skeleton laying dried and parched in the sun? The only phrase we earned is “The lost soul”. No one will care about us being alive. Who will care about us being dead? We live with addictions then the disastrous finish appears. Then someone can say to us “Not having much luck playing follow the leader”? Who wants life to end this way?

Come into this world without our consent. Leave this world against our will. About the only two times in life we haven’t a choice. Many choices in between makes life interesting. With addictions we have a choice to stop or continue on. End addictions or keep getting worse. A choice to improve is ours to make. Knowing what the right choice is for ourselves is important to learn. Knowing what good is. Sobriety or addictions use? Good knowledge or pleasure? Having knowledge and pleasure without addictions. Do all the things we want to do in life just leave out the addictions. I do. Want to get high? Go to the coffee shop. Ethics and morality we adapt to by choice. Nutrition is good health we accept by choice. The Bible,Philosophy and other words of wisdom by ancient thinkers. In front of us to choose to live it. What about us we choose not to improve the mind,body,and soul. Then I decided to follow the better life where I learned to improve myself. I also learned how I was destroying myself with addictions. I thought the bar scene was so great then I learned about the Bible. Then I wanted the same good life. To imitate the Bible. I adapt it to my life. I live a quality life today because I chose to.

Willpower is the strength of a flat refusal and not allowing us to be persuaded to change back into despair. Slipping slowly in reverse into the bottomless pit of darkness and misery. Where does it all end? How long can we tolerate this unbearable ordeal? I thought years ago “enough is enough” and ended the crazy life. “Welcome to my nightmare”. I know you’re going to like it”.
