It’s a sunny Sunday but a bit brisk. I enjoyed myself at church this morning came home and read an interesting article I may reprint it.
At a great title Staying Sober Can Drive You To Drink. It is about relapse prevention.
I have discovered that I am able to not drink for approximately 15 minutes. After that I’d better find something to do. Unless I fill my life with something to do, in about 15 minutes I’ll start getting edgy, irritable and thirsty. Now that might not be the way it works for you but that’s the way it works for me.
So when I start feeling that a edgy, irritable and think a drink would be nice it’s time to pray, call somebody, read something, Journal, go to a meeting or clean house. It is not time to sit around and meditate on how good liquor used to make me feel. I know that’s a lie. It no longer nice. Yet I know I’ll believe the lie if I listen to it very long.

Why is it that newfound sobriety, with its hard-won joys and accomplishments, can be such a lonely and unsatisfying experience for many women? The answer, according to pioneering therapist Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., can be found by looking in the mirror. Once a woman leaves behind the numbing comforts of alcohol or other drugs, she is left to face herself–perhaps for the first time in her life. With gentle guidance and personal stories, Brown helps readers unravel pai… More >>

There’s no fool like the foolish fool who thinks he fools everybody and only fools himself.
My wife at the time thought I would rather be drunk or dead than married to her. It was not true. The truth was I would rather be drunk or dead then be me.
Thank God and AA I’ve not felt that way in a long time.
I drank away the job that caused me so much stress I had to drink and then made a great deal of progress toward drinking away the next job. I drank away the wife that caused me so much stress I had to drink. Then ran away the next one without even taking a drink but by the way I think!
Who did I think I was fooling? I thought I was fooling everyone and still was only fooling myself. Was I sober? I wasn’t drinking but I certainly was thinking! It’s just my thinking leaves a lot to be desired!
I have found sobriety to be first a heart job, then a head job and along the way the body just gets better and relationships improve.
It never ceases to amaze me how simply trusting God, filling my mind with his thoughts and his words, allowing him to fill my spirit with his and above all not picking up a drink, has made my life so much better.
Why is not picking up a drink so above all? Without God’s Spirit in mine, without his thoughts in my head, I will drink and if I drink there is a wall between me and God. I so much prefer having Jesus be the wall between me and my next drink.
I ran a lot of people off but I never chased Jesus away. He enables me to do the next right thing but he never forces me. He lets life itself do the job for him.
I have learned that in life there are consequences, it’s up to me whether they will be good or bad.

Procrastination is a common character defect, it is not the exclusive domain of alcoholics but most drunks have at least a bit of it. Just as we put off getting sober we too often put off doing the next right thing.
I have in fact procrastinated writing this post. I could try to give you a real good reason but in fact there isn’t one.
If the apostle Paul was a Hebrew of Hebrews, I have certainly been a procrastinator of procrastinators. I never believed in putting off until tomorrow anything I could wait until tomorrow to put off until tomorrow!
There is of course the old joke about the procrastinators club of America. They have never had a meeting because they keep putting it off until next week.
I have been known to remark that I do not procrastinate simply have an extreme fear of being bored and never want to do everything today, lest I not have anything to do tomorrow.
The kind of procrastination that becomes a vice or a character defect is the kind that causes you to put off doing the next right thing.
The trouble is happiness is the byproduct of doing the next right thing so if we put off doing the next right thing we put off our happiness as well.
I think my happiness today is probably the result of the next right thing I did week’s months or even years ago, my happiness tomorrow may depend on what I do today and my happiness next year may depend on it as well.
There is no guarantee that giving up the character defect of procrastination will ensure a life of happiness. It will go a long way towards keeping the Spiritual house clean.
And there is certainly one kind of procrastination that is beneficial and not a character defect at all. That is when we refuse to worry about tomorrow. A wiser man than I pointed out that “sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

Psychology has exploded across the academic and popular landscape in the last hundred years. Dozens of schools of thought have arisen and thousands of books have been written on the nature of our personalities, our development, our relationships and our inner well-being.
