There are people who have discovered a short cut, a way to command life or reduce it so that they can live it on their terms, without responsibility or accountability. It is a simple procedure of learning how to manipulate yourself to either feel good OR not feel anything. How? Enter alcohol & drugs.....the quick fix
NOTE: Before we begin, a few things.
a. When I mention alcohol anywhere, include drugs in the example as well
b. If you are enjoying life on its terms, a little wine with your dinner, maybe a beer at the old BBQ, then this post is not for you.
c. If you are taking prescription medication for the right reasons, this post is not for you.
d. Anything done in EXCESS is bad for you while pretending to be good. Keep that in mind as you read.
SEDATION:
Why would anyone want to sedate themselves? When someone takes drugs or drink to reach a point where they are numb to life, circumstances, and themselves, they have effectively did just that. People actually drink and drug until they cant stand up, talk, walk, drive, and then pass out. That is some pretty powerful DENIAL/PAIN.
STIMULUS:
Why would anyone need drink or drugs to be motivated, to feel good, or go into action. Aren't the daily things that we encounter enough to supply stimuli and call to actions? It is because the real mechanisms or the proper inner tool is disconnected or incapacitated. It is not available because you have done something or had something done to you and are in denial about it. Rather than wait to listen and obey your conscience to show you the way out........, you create one.
GUILT:
Purely the product of bad choices and decisions. Compound guilt is repeating the problem and knowing you are doing it. When you try to alleviate the process INCORRECTLY, you inadvertently created another guilt. Now, you are in a cycle of guilt where your poor choices on top of poor choices with added new poor choices perpetuates this insanity. instead of realizing your wrong, pausing and repenting, you continue this madness. After a while, it runs on automatic. You are now a prisoner within yourself.
THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO COME OUT OF COMAS AND.. THERE OTHER PEOPLE TRYING TO GO INTO ONE
So, either we are not handling life properly or we are carrying around baggage from the early years....whatever the case, it is robbing us of a fulfilling NOW life and..... drink and drugs lock us into that past and present pain cycle of doubt and confusion. I have seen people drink to unwind and an entire different person comes out.
I have seen alcohol bring out the following:
1. Rage
2. Self deprecating humor
3. Indifference
4. Truth held in
5. Repressed feelings, hurts and thoughts
6. Past sins and embarrassing behaviors
7. Inappropriate behavior....of the miscellaneous kind.
I do not find the above conduct cute, entertaining, funny, or relevant. I see it as someone who is empty inside.
I always would wonder where that conduct went in that person during the sober hours of the day. I would think to myself....that is in that person, and alcohol allows them to release it and relieve themselves while doing it. It is only a temporary fix however. You see, that stuff has no business being in you, being carried around by you, and interfering with your day to personal and professional obligations.....but it does.
Here is the simple solution: You know you are out of order and control. You are not functioning properly and you cannot put your finger on it. Good first step. Second step, don't add to what we already know. Third step, ask questions, seek answers from everyone, all sources until you make progress. Good place to start is usually your childhood and parents. A lot of stuff took place when we were growing up that some of us would have rather not had happened. We survived it, and now as adults, we can go back, take our inner child within us, correct, undo and close issues/traumas and then....... live normal lives all with just a little effort and work.....it can be done.
Excessive drinking and drugging yourself puts off the procedure, creates new problems and robs you of all the things that are locked up in your heart. I want you to be well, do great things, and to be loved........always
