When you get up in the morning, pray to God to lift you up and put a smile on your face. Laugh at yourself, and see how stupid you look. Don't take your self so seriously. You are God's child and he wants to see you smile in the morning. You may feel awful, but actually telling your self that you feel great , will change your thought pattern. Believe me I have lived this way well over 5 years. Positive attitude even if your hung over from the night before.
Get on your knees and pray to God at times when the day will seem to much to bare. It will change you. The program of Sobriety, or being calm is to pray and meditate.
What are you going to do for someone else today. What can you possibly do to make this person feel good. Maybe it is a stranger you meet in a restauraunt or on the street, say something up lifting and you will feel great. Try it. Try no t to think about yourself, and how you feel , think about the other guy or girl.
Help someone out today do what they can't do.

I. Sobriety: The Spiritual Malady "issue man"
Sobriety is a noun for the intention of being “staid” or “solemn”.
The very name of solemn is to express a calm and collective person or individual.
Is there addiction to being rational or in a solemn condition? There is a lot
of people that believe in the “Issue Man”. What is the “Issue Man"? The
Issue Man is a spiritual malady that exist in each and every person on this
planet. The discovery of the Issue Man is from Chris R. from Ingram, Texas. A
sober man with a black patch over one eye with the knowledge of a professor.
However, he is just a normal recovering alcoholic, drug abuser that helps people
world wide by his speeches.
In growing up we all had different backgrounds to sustain
our childhoods. Some of the experiences were unpleasant, and others were not. Staying
abstinent from alcohol and drugs was not even on people’s minds growing through
the years. We would see relatives come over for drinks with our families and see
some that drank too much and actually paid no attention to this. When we grew
up to see whats right and wrong, we started to see the effects drugs and
alcohol did to individual’s that were close to us. We would laugh at them, and
some of the drunks and drug abusers were frightening also.
As time went on, and some of us went to school we started to
drink and smoke pot or had been doing it for years before we even were old
enough to buy liquor. Sneaking around our folks and stealing a bottle of
whatever to seduce our minds. Having fun with drinking or were we killing the
pain inside ourselves was to some of us a daily way of living in our teens.
There is a man from Ingram, Texas called Chris R. and he
developed the concept of the “Issue Man”. He believes that inside every human
being is a little man called the “Issue Man”. As silly as this is drawn out by
Chris, it is tremendously compelling to take note of how he describes this
concept.
When a person drinks too much or takes too many drugs and is
unable to control his or her intake. This is not the fault of the individual.
Each human has a resistance level and chemical make up that is different to
substances that we ingest into our bodies. Is alcoholism based on the fact that
because some external power invades your inner peace, that one will drink? Yes,
and no, there is simple evidence that do
show that siblings can adopt a genetic gene around that if related you could become
an alcoholic or drug user because of your genetic makeup. Yet, let’s back up to the “Issue Man” inside
each of us and talk about the alcoholic.
The spiritual malady or Issue Man we like to call it, tells
an alcoholic that when they become agitated, irritable, unpredictable and uncontrollable
inside their bodies. Alcoholics can replace this emotional trouble by just
taking a drink or two like most people do. The only problem is that a real
alcoholic will go overboard and not just drink one or two drinks, yet inside
thinking they can. It is a illness, that is unmanageable unless you have the
tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and the spiritual guidance from God.
Most alcoholics describe the symptoms of why they drink.
They blame the poor economy or that they lost money in a big deal with work.
There are many excuses that an alcoholic will use. The problem is we listen to
these excuses. How many times are you going to quit drinking and then come back
with beer on your breath ? Until you die or get advice. Are treatment centers
the answer, no. Do treatment centers help the alcoholic? Yes, they will always
be there to take your hard earned money or insurance. The experience from a
treatment center is what an alcoholic will remember, and till he or she dies.
Sober or not sober, the facts are that this disease kills. There is no quick
fix.
Which treatment center should I go to ? Betty Ford clinic is
one answer, why not? To be quite honest with yourself, the best place to start
is to admit you have a problem and know you can’t just quit on your own.
Treatment centers will install in your brain ideas and sober you up long enough
to find out that that wife of yours is not who
you thought she was. Your whole outlook on life will change whether you
stay sober or not. The treatment centers that you pay money for will always be
on your mind for what good they did for you and how you were when you were off
the drug or drink. The next post on this blog will be more about Chris R. and
the treatment centers in our American soil. There are those that are run by the
salvation army that are exceptionally courteous and free. They are not pretty
and can scare the devil out of you, but you will remain sober for a few weeks.
Best bet if you're trying to get sober today is to go to an
AA
meeting in your neighborhood or somewhere close by. If you go drunk, that is
fine. It might be better if someone else drives though. You will find help if
you seek it. Free and paid help are available in every major city. AA is free,
and some of the facilities offer a place to spend the night, to let you dry up.
Keep reading this blog, and from personal knowledge, you will be able to at
least have ideas on what your next move should be. Start today, and get help,
not for anyone but yourself, or you will not make it. That is a guaranteed answer
from experience. God Bless and the only reason I am writing this blog are to
hopefully help those that need it. I have to give back what has been giving to
me, or I will not make it another day myself. Email me at filmpro45@yahoo.com and put NEED HELP. I
will respond to you.
