Welcome

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

My morning thoughts begin with a latte and a blog post to tell the world how I created new ways to stay sober. They must work I live them everyday. There are times when the thoughts of relapse and sobriety gets mixed in with too much confidence. I created my sober life and chose to reside here. I take this life and my moral thoughts wherever I go and they keep me sober. Don’t live in a bad place the dangerous world of booze that gives you nothing but grief. You could never create this world it will create you. Not your creation just your bad choice to follow it. Booze is a plan to destroy your mind and build you up to be a loyal follower. Digging its claws into your soul and squeeze you to death. Booze will want you to live your life the hard way more amusement to watch you destroy yourself little by little. Your plans for a sober life are pushed aside allowing the life of booze to give you generous amounts of grief and abuse and when you were cheerfully drunk you agreed to accept. Boozers in the past have chosen a relapse after a long sobriety to end their boredom of sensible living. Recovery wasn’t as easy the second time around. Will destroy your mind quicker than booze. They struggle with this and could avoid this disaster if only he would have had the sense to accept a good life when he had it. As you can see relapse doesn’t make any sense. Didn’t protect him but sobriety would have. This is a warning to stay away from the dangers of relapse and in a lot of cases their minds are altered permanently. As long as you stay focused and live a sober life you won’t have any problems. Your created life is only found in sobriety and the way you choose to live it.

Sobriety is a safe haven. Reside within its fortress

Guilt and anger are causes to reach for booze creating a dangerous mixture of intense emotions and high stress. Allowing them to grow means we don’t know how to remove them. The proper mix of emotions creates good experiences to learn from and enjoy. The wrong mix of emotions is like water and oil. Living with a disaster and curious for a cure is no picnic by a long ways. Several worst case scenarios pops up and start to panic afraid they will all happen to us. We need to stay away from the emotions we are sensitive to and avoid the lifestyle that requires them. All the human emotions don’t all work at the same time. We need to understand that compassion and love to create and inspire harmony. Hate and anger to remind us of our faults and need to be removed. What good are they? Guilt, anger and stress make us so jittery that we find it impossible to relax. Stay away from any source that creates problems then all you have left is serene moments. Relapse is too much stress piled several layers thick then it becomes too heavy to carry. Don’t worry about a mistake you made the most important thing is to make sure you don’t repeat it. It’s all about prevention and tossing out the worthless issues in your life. Start again and forgive yourself. As long as you stay relaxed and serene and don’t put problems in your life the grief is gone and relapse will not happen.

A strange mix creates strange behaviors.

A new year has begun with a plan for a better life to stop the hardship and the constant complaining about our worthless life but will soon end after we stop the booze and put some quality in our lives for the coming year. Don’t sit and complain toss out the sources of grief and failure and live without them. The booze will dry up and so will your stress and craving for more booze and drugs. These are the causes of your failures so a new plan is to live sober and relaxed. Sobriety is like an alms to help the problem drinker. They will use it to turn our lives into a better one. Sobriety works the same as an alm. It provides generous rewards without end. Money is used up sobriety is an endless supply of learning. When we live careless, clumsy, and foolish living sober is the only way out. I did live this way and I never fit in. Trying to find the place where I fit in and I have found mine. I am a perfect fit in the life of sobriety. Everyone is. We all fit in and also with the twelve steps of A.A. One size fits all. Guaranteed. No doubt about it. Nothing is more perfect or sensible than sobriety. Don’t be the type of person who refuses this good advice. Listen to it and live it. Blame yourself if you don’t. Don’t put your present and future life in a difficult situation. Relapse means to go back for more grief. Telling yourself you don’t want this drunken life to end. That it’s better to be drunk than sober and cry about it. Don’t expect any mercy from anyone that has to come from you. When you get one shred of self-respect in you a little mercy will follow will make you stand up and march to the rehab. Then you will see how sobriety will protect you for the rest of your life. Days to recognize your grief, sympathize with your loss, then regain your life endlessly.

Don’t spend the best days of your life slowly turning into a dying boozer.

Every year as a boozer I don’t see where the happiness fits in. All the addictions we consume is not full of happy times just moments of nonsense and making fools of ourselves pretending and bragging about it that it is. The word new is not new either. Shouting happy new year is seeing the past year of hardship come to an end. As long as you carry on as a boozer nothing new and happy will ever happen. Does it make you more happy than sobriety? Not for me or any other boozer I have seen. To prove you are the person you cannot be. But you can. Sobriety and the study of morality will fix that. Better impressions will be made from it and better years ahead. The life of booze is no easy ride so why do it. People choose sobriety because they are smarter and enjoy this for several years. A good feeling that they are finally learning how to relax and having a latte in their morning routine is good enough for anyone. Creates many happy memories and no two mornings are ever the same. If you have fifty sober days you will learn as many impressing things about your own mind. These plans can be made in time for the start of the new year. Why not today? You had your share of hardship so it’s time to leave it all behind you. For the next holiday party forget the booze stop for latte on your way there. A sober life is where it’s at not being hungover crying about your life.

Live a sober life and be happy and new for the first time in your life.
