If You are an Alcoholic. . .
You are my sister and you are my brother.

I wondered for many years what was wrong with me that I had periodic “episodes” of total debauchery many resulting in terrible guilt feelings.
I wasn’t a bad person at all but when drinking and drugged I was horrible.

-This from my daily reader is a good summation and reflection on the one thing that can touch me and change me and save me from myself.
Recovery is simply to recover your Faith in a higher power whatever that concept means to you.

April 6
Thought for the Day

All alcoholics have personality problems. They drink to escape from life, to counteract feelings of loneliness or inferiority, or because of some emotional conflict within them that means they cannot adjust themselves to life. Alcoholics cannot stop drinking unless they can find a way to solve their personality problems. That’s why going on the wagon doesn’t solve anything. That’s why taking the pledge usually doesn’t work.

Meditation for the Day

God illuminates your life with the warmth of His spirit. You must open up like a flower to this divine illumination. Loosen your hold on earth, it’s cares, and it’s worries. Unclasp your hold on material things, relax your grip, and the tide of peace and serenity will flow in. Relinquish every material thing and receive it back again from God. Do not hold on to earths treasures so firmly that your hands are too occupied to clasp God’s hands as He holds them out to you in love.

I would need opiates to function normally, they aren't really available in modern society because they turn autistic genius into high functioning genius. That would present a threat to existing power structures. Alcohol is a much lesser depressant that helps social anxiety but nowhere near what opiates have done for thousands of years.

Bill W dropped acid and asked for whiskey on his deathbed. Steps 13 and 14, I guess.

Re: If You are an Alcoholic. . .
When I started work in construction everyone drunk ,I thought it was normal to have a half bottle of spirits in my work bag , I drunk 10 pints a day most days plus spirits and thought nothing of it because everyone else was doing the same , yet I never craved a drink or ever had withdrawal symptoms, I knew guys who would drink litres of spirits everyday and you would never know it on them they worked well and we're never rolling drunk .

Needless to say they are all dead now , I stopped thankfully but I still take a small drink maybe 2 or 3 times a year

Re: If You are an Alcoholic. . .
I get fat every time I run out of weed and have to drink beer. That's the only negative really.

Grow before last was open pollenation so not much to vape on. Last grow had a death in the family and had to leave town for 3 weeks. 2/3 of my moms/clones survived at least.

Sad thing is I live in a legal weed state. 95% of the shit at stores tastes like pesticides.

Re: If You are an Alcoholic. . .
All generalizations fail.

I was an alcoholic for years. Now I drink once a week. When I feel like it.

I don't have a personality problem. I love to drink. It's fun.

Most people are content to go to work, go to dinner. Mow the lawn, wash the truck. Those people are morons that love conventional activities. When they drink, it ruins them. I can drink, eat and go to bed and wake up early and do whatever I need to do.

Re: If You are an Alcoholic. . .
I suspect addicts are more sensitive, maybe more bright than average. This breads a trait of inner suspicion of ones personal superiority. I feel things no one else gfeels, I can see thongs no one else can see.

This results in inner isolation, existentialism. My emotions are different than others, no one understands. Often they grew up in a family which says certain things cannot be talked about. Promises are not kept, apologies were lip service. "It's all bullshit", "they're all morons".

YOu just grew up in an alcoholic family whop was was not aloud to discuss feelings, because if there was ever a silence, pain would be felt, and then rage would ensue. So must be happy stimulation all the time. Never feel, because feelings make people feel and do bad things.


The alcoholics I know, and most people I lnow are addicts, Im not. They are all uber social, most popular, great social skills, always say the right thing, never stand pout for saying something you shouldn't. Always in the right place at the right time. So cool. And always telling me "not to say that."


I think alcoholics could benefit from taking theatre lessons and letting the little people out. Also, find a higher power, because all they saw was betrayal by adult humans. They need to realize others mow the lawn because we consider other people. Others have something else in their hearts: Inner Peace.


YTpu cant make others your focus for wisdom, you have look higher, and help other people if you're so terrific. Ypu are sensitive, and have been hurt, and feel powerless, and that is expressed by your powerlessness over alcohol. Simple logical psychology.

I'm not physically dependent on alcohol, I can go weeks, months without an adult beverage due to my work, but when I'm back home I hit my local dive bar every day for an after work drink, I really love that place for some reason. Is that also some part of the addiction?

Don't forget to pat yourself on the back when you finally own it. It's a tough struggle. Best advice is Just commit. Commit and own yourself as well as the journey life presents you.

No my friend,, if you can go to a bar and have a few drinks and have some laughs and go home and no think about drinking more you are NOT an alcoholic…
