What I've been up to. Hi how you all doing, its been a while. I am back in Birmingham now my hometown. I have engaged with Change Grow Live, and in particular Emerging Futures and am working as a recovery coach and loving it. I have also applied to a stack of college courses to develop my way toward a paid career within the drink and drug treatment sector. I am currently developing a number of new ideas, as well as writing my 3rd book which will be called One foot in front of the other.
Redbull Cola. In 2009 the product Red Bull Cola was found to have traces of Cocaine in it, yet if you Amazon it right now, you can still buy it, very odd!
Going Veggie. On Wednesday 27th April I decided to go vegetation. I want to try it for at least a month, but so far Im feeling really good and refreshed for it. Some things are weird about it though. Cravings I used to get for drink or drugs I now get for cheeseburgers when Im walking through town. I stand outside a burger pacing up and down, the devious part of my mind telling me "go on just 1 little burger....you know you want to" and I become fearful, fearful of where 1 would lead to, its a slippy slope, first a litter burger, then a steak, then a mixed grill and eventually inappropriate meat love!
Lapses. See my new meme quote about lapses, hope you like it.
Deep though moment. So been thinking today. All faiths no matter what they are teach at there core that we have to look within to move forward. There is even the catchphrase 'its an inside job'. When I think about it is is true, within us lies a happiness, within us we are well. There have been periods of ours lives where we have demonstrated that for example our childhoods. When we were kids, really young kids even toddlers or babies we didn't have a care in the world, not a worry just ran around all day like nutters screaming and shouting, laughing as well. So what changes when we grow and develop, we are conditioned to certain ways of thinking by things like Family and Peers and Society. We are taught to want more, more money, possessions, fame, bigger home, better car, better looks etc. If we don't get what we want we are thrust into traits of depression and envy in the pursuant of such things. We then start reaching out again for relief from external sources. It would seem then that the key is to stop looking externally and focus on what is inside of us, our true happiness.
