Thirty Days and Two Fortnights

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.
