I WALK ALONE

I walk alone in freedom without the crowds of boozers down a narrow path to a new and better life called being sober planning to improve our lives and relapse is a lousy plan that destroys our society. This is happening in the midst of their ruin as well as our own lives. Chatting a billion words of recovery and a billion methods tried, failed, and rejected offers with another binge as our own choice. It all can end by our choice to stay sober and struggle daily to stay that way. We took the time to plan a sober life to stay away from the temptation of the bad annoying thoughts of it then we walked away from the comforts of a sober life to step into the misery of addictions use but only one cure exists and that is for users to live sober. We will never improve by refusing to live a sober life and no one said it will be easy but not difficult either. We have spent close to half of our work day focusing on our job and the other half making plans for the weekend and trying to decide if we can afford to spend enough money at a club for a few hours holding off paying a bill to have more money to spend on booze and pot. Millions of down and out boozers regret choosing this life and no turning back for many of them but not all. Do you want to be one of the millions of followers? Millions of lives are ruined by booze but one person can save millions of lives by inviting them to live in their sober world. Many issues come in large amounts but few people can solve their problems if they could there would be no more boozers and their misery is gone and no more need for the booze and the best life is next called being sober. I got tired of the beaten path following a long line of boozers so I walked away and started my own path to freedom and happiness.

Don’t follow boozers walk alone and stay sober

WHIRLWINDS

With ignorance and curiosity and trusting friend we agreed to learn the proper way to use addictions then we believed that just tripping was just a one-time thing. The high was so good it won’t allow you to refuse the next one. Watching the cyclone of the drug supply and eager to be a player got too close to the wild whirlwind that spiraled your drug use out of control and too late to step out of the spiral. You may have decided tripping was safe when you saw a room full of users doing it. If you would have gone down to an alley where users are living in drug use this may have changed your mind not to try the first dose at all. A life may seem sweeter when we get high and relaxed like a selection of sweets and rows of chocolates to try each one like a drug party then the morning after. Will you go back for more? How much of your brain will be with you? A little maybe but no common sense will exist. Most users say they are just tripping and then nothing will happen to them. People living in cardboard boxes said the same thing and look what happened to them. Step up to the best drugs in town so get in line early to get your share don’t want to miss out. The high begins and then several more after then you decide you had enough but your dealer says no he owns you. The nightmare has begun the reality is the same. The sun will rise tomorrow then the poking of needles and the fix to kill the pain and follow all the other down and out users for more of the same. It takes a little addiction to understand the good life we never knew we had and the good life sobriety has waiting for us. Refuse the first dose and fix yourself up for sober living.

The best thing for all of us is to refuse the first dose.

FOOD FOR THE CROWS

Its up to us how we want to live our lives now or the way we want to live our lives paying for our crime. No one can tell us we have to decide on our own. We chose to live a life of ruins. In the end we will be no hero or a statue on a corner or a parade in the street. No welcome home will exist when we arrive in the life of booze and we will be disappointed that we followed our own leader. Why will we give up the freedom of life to sit and stare at a confined life of booze and drugs? We have many trivial excuses and odd ideas for taking the first drink. When alcohol is involved, we will be strangely insane. Addictions use is being married to the devil with a vow to stay loyal to the lifestyle. We are always chasing our own shadows but in sobriety we finally catch up to it. We need to have booze to feed an addiction and want it for the high and be comfortable. Going to the canyon to hide from the world to have our party and join many other dead users. Dark and cold and a ravine filled with skulls of animals that have died from the lack of food and water and the dead boozers who consumed too much. Animals try to survive but boozers never cared about their lives to want to save it. Boozers who die in the canyon are unknown to the world and no one will care enough to find out who we are. No one including us won’t care. Died of their careless actions and plenty of space for more to come. Madness. A careless life will be our epitaph. What more is there to say? Staying sober is best. Travel to the canyon and drink your booze until you die and dry up to dust.

All that remains of us is food for the crows.

BED OF THORNS

We waltz through the garden of roses and thorns called the addictions life. Putting a million pieces of our lives together like a puzzle that only a few will fit. We know something is missing in our lives. Why is booze the missing piece? It makes no sense to choose it but some do. We all have dreams of the glorious life but what makes us think we will find it in the life of booze? Many boozers will find the great life in sobriety and nowhere else to be found. What is so good in the life of booze when all it does for boozers is create nothing but problems. I have become aware of this and thought of it as a waste of time and money. Not one fond memory came to me when it does I will save and frame it. Among other things boozers pray night and day to get back their soul the devil has taken from us. Let him have it sobriety will give you a better one. In the life of booze we have seen all the evils it will bring onto us as we lived a few years ago. All the evils gather in one place discussing their plans for our lives. Addictions will turn off the concern for our safety and we stand as an open door to let the evils enter into our lives. Our caring nature is turned off too. While drunk we didn’t care in the slightest but after sobering up we had to live with the guilt. More booze to hide it and became more difficult for us to escape. Every binge that I had made no sense to me. Odd to keep on but we all do. Why is this? We take the chance that someday we will be living in a cardboard box in an alley, or in a cemetery with your back against a tombstone begging for your death. I feel ill from this booze and sitting in the rain waiting for a sensible person to walk up to me and tell how to live a sober life. This graveyard, all the dead people, and my slow death is too much for me to handle. Who will rescue me? Myself? As it turned out I entered rehab and I was rescued for several years. Give up the booze and being drunk and dancing to the spell of the witch under a full moon. You will feel the claw of the spell slowly choking you to death in every binge. Going back to use addictions again is laying down in a bed of thorns.

All because you wouldn’t stop drinking

MIRAGE

We see the glamorous life of booze chasing after an eluding senseless mirage. In need of fun in our lives blinded by the glitter of addictions use we see a mirage not a small piece of the disasters ahead. When all the glittering lights go out we see ourselves in the midst of hard times maybe not if we seen the other side of the pumped up stories bragging about the life of booze. All we see is images that are not real but don’t know it until we experience our first binge. If we did know before having our first binge would we have said no to our first drink? I wonder. Across the land we see rock and sand and the desolate landscape of many dead boozers. Nothing is more real than this and it all began with a desperate escape from boredom. Cannot be found in the glitter world as fools we believed it. How serious is boredom that it has to be cured by a binge? Only a fool believes this. A recovering user will sit around learning how to stay sober and the boredom will always be there. Now what? More addictions to end more boredom? Thinking like this is what keeps the life of booze a never ending cycle of disasters for all. The life of booze is everything it promises to be and so does the life of being sober. The stories and the parties and the booze tricked us into drinking it. We feel like a fool to have trusted it but we were attracted to it by the good times we were promised well addicted to it before we knew it was all a lie. This is truth. When I discovered this after years of booze I chose to live an honest life. Sober. Living inside of a mirage and then stepping out of it and never returned to it. As we stay in the life of booze it will always be imagined images not a true reality. The real world is the hardship you will try to overcome as we all have to do it.

No more living in the glitter world of a mirage but an honest one being sober.

THE PRISON CELL

The time he spent in his cell didn’t ease the guilt of his life. As a free man he still had the feeling of being chained up. He paid his debt to society but not the guilt of his conscience. Depressed, miserable, and unwanted he could never escape the feeling of the cell or the torment of his life. Letting go of the reasons for his troubled mind will be the opening of the cell door to his freedom. The bitterness will no longer remain. Unable to break away and not knowing how to is what he struggled to overcome. The darkness of a cell and standing in a cold rain I don’t see a difference and the feeling is the same. Our guilty conscience we carry with us always being confined to the cell and never being able to be free. No one tells us everything we need to know sometimes we have to look for it in books in the library this being the best way. Books will tell you a story of how a person has overcome his issues then do it his way. This was the key that turned his locked cell door into his freedom. Many more days of dark thoughts and the grief of his past life will stay with him for awhile longer and fade away from the lessons he learned from the stories he is reading from books. In a short time has become a changed man. The cell door opened slowly and as he walked out he looked back to see a roomful of hardships that he is finally leaving behind him. Freedom has arrived not having to drag the cell around with him in his conscience in his free life.

Lose the guilt and stop living the torment of solitary confinement.

FUTURE DISASTERS

We are curious how addictions use will begin then later on how it will end. If we were sure in the beginning believing the stories that were told to us were true, then stop there, the life of addictions might never have happened. What did we not believe about the stories that motivated us to try addictions? We may have turned away from the first dose if something would have happened to convince us that the disasters ahead were possible they will happen to us. If only we knew the risks before agreeing to a dangerous life or at least a warning from a caring soul that has lived and survived the disasters of addictions. Always the glamour stories of fun and parties but never the truth of what is waiting for us up ahead. Older people must have heard at least one disaster scenario and never told the story to the younger crowd and I ask myself why did they keep silent. What were they thinking at the time? Not about our safety. We trusted them and believed in their judgment we had no reason to doubt them. Stories have been told to the younger crowd about the dangers of addictions, ignored them, and suffered without end for a good many of them. Disaster scenarios before the first dose works for many but not for all. How can we fix this disaster scenario? I have written many ideas and I am certain some are following my advice living sober my way before the first dose or after living a brief addiction disaster. There is a chance that a solution does exist but we need to live it for it to work for us.

We have to be convinced, believe, and trust in the stories told of past addictions disasters to motivate us to turn away.

Future addictions disasters happen when we relive the past.

THE CURIOUS MIND

The curious mind is at risk when we put ourselves in motion to follow the life and actions of a hooligan willing to experiment with addictions. tragedies will be avoided when we learn the safe use of our own curious mind. This may seem odd at first but until we learn how to use our own curiosity the proper way then good events will come our way. Getting high feels like a downhill cruise then we do strange things not caring what we do or who sees us doing it. We need a few lessons teach us to think three steps ahead before agreeing to anything new. I wonder how this works? When offered addictions read about it before doing it. This small amount of curiosity will keep you from your first and several doses. This will give you proper performance in society and within your own mind. Why do we step away from a safe life and not even care about us or a good life. The addictions were the reason for our failures then depression. Don’t take risks to kill off the magic of our own curious mind and creativity. Life has too many rules and tired of obeying them? Where is the freedom in addictions use? When your mind is half gone what good are you to yourself? An empty space is all that will remain. Use your curious mind and ask why did I do this to myself.

Being sober: The honest protector of our morality and a healthy mind.

GRATITUDE

The life of booze and sobriety is our own design wanting a sober life is how I chose mine. No more placing a value on the life of booze and not on my soul. Living the twelve steps helped me stay sober I’m living proof. The more I live sober the less I remember about my drinking. My hardships no longer beg for booze for comfort. I study them in a book that tells me ways to solve them. With our first drink it was the nonstop party and getting high but when the problems of the addiction came along we needed booze to comfort ourselves. I wasn’t thinking when I thought booze could help me with my problems. Just a bully to ignore. Some people may not enjoy being sober they would by adding gratitude to their lives. Don’t complain about being sober be grateful that you have a choice which life to live. Gratitude is giving thanks to yourself for choosing a better life. Being sober and grateful improves life, mind and soul. Living sober we don’t have to put on a phony act to hide our problems with booze. We face the worst of our drunken tormented life on display to the world in our intense moments of fear. Booze is not working? Let it stop here let sobriety begin.

Decide to give up the booze before you are unable to be grateful

SOBRIETY WILL PROVIDE

Many books have been written with tragic stories of boozers many like ours. With the interesting fact that all of us ignore the advice to turn away then we live them. Maybe we can’t relate to them. Don’t apply to us. Concerns all of us. The data collected about alcoholism is real we are one of those large numbers. Emotions is easier to relate to with other problem users giving us the message someone cares enough to help us. Feeling like an outcast we have the feeling of fitting in with a solution. Not being denied. We all need at least one value in our lives. Booze is more important to us. Sobriety is a value to help other people. This will not happen as long as we remain a user. Turns off our thinking so we are no longer useful to anyone. This comes back when our high has been cleared away with enough focus to see the problems we cause for others. Relapse tells us that addictions are more important than helping ourselves and others. As long as we are using addictions we can never be a mentor to help other users. Users have no value just wasting away and sitting in our own ruins. Walk away from the lifestyle and give yourself a reason to follow sober people who will tell you how to put value in your life. Addictions use is mind expanding. The only thing it will expand is your long list of hardships. The list never ends. Become what sober people can teach us. Join the crowd and reap the rewards within.

Caring will save us and sobriety is where it starts
