Thirty Days and Two Fortnights
Waving a white flag
I surrendered on May 28th 2012 and accepted that I needed to make a drastic change in my lifestyle if I wanted to move forward with the dreams I aspire to.
Today I have been without a single drop of alcohol for 30 days. It’s been exactly 3 months (90 days) since I last had a smoke of Marijuana. I have to say it feels great. I’m still faced with my crazy self – speaking of which – is my current obstacle – the human condition of selfish, self-seeking, self-centered life. I am humbled that this chance was given me. I’m sure a few people had their chips stacked against me (as I’m sure they did from dot). But today I’m not gambling with my life or those whom I love dearly.
I can walk again
I will write in more detail later. I have much to say about my spiritual condition as it stands today. There are many mindsets that have been adjusted and attitudes conformed accordingly. I am a little weathered and preoccupied with the task of economic recovery. I still have to wake up to me which is also a trial in itself. But there are a few things that I have put into play that have helped tremendously in my journey. One such thing was acceptance; I have a problem. More than anything the problem is that I am selfish. I am human. No different than anyone else, only that the symptoms of my spiritual sickness was more apparent and destructive.
