I AM AN ADDICT......PART 2

Hi, I'm Kevin and I'm an addict........
Before I finally gave in to rehab my friends and family staged an intervention. Its hard to hear what people have to say about you when you are high out of your wits but its good to listen. I couldn't bring myself to understanding what they were saying to me as I was still in a daze but their tears kinda hit home. Its now been 11 days without using and it doesn't get any easier. My sobriety should be the most important thing in my life right now but I am still on the edge of the cliff a lot now and if I don't watch it I could just end up going over the edge. I almost used this afternoon, I was in my car driving and I saw a dealer. Every addict can spot a dealer from a mile away but with the last shred of self control I had I got my phone and dialed my mothers number for some sense smacked into me. It may be hard to accept it but I know I am better off not using, the best I can do is pray that I can wake up every morning and be happy to be sober.
Thanks for letting me share...
I'm Kevin and I am an addict.

Always looking out for number 1

I just got a new job that is sales in nature , my previous job was an I.T. position which gave me a chance to compare the differences between humans and machines. A machine is supposed to be predictable ,with a particular set of inputs you get a particular set of outputs. A human is supposed to be unpredictable where one group wants to go left there is this guy who always wants to go right. However, I realized that machines can be at some point unpredictable while the humans vice versa. A human will be predictable in that every little situation you bring to him will only flow with your idea if and only if it is of some benefit to them. That brings me to the basis of this topic today, number in is you and your immediate interests and issues if importance. With that being said, I would love to burst the bubbles of certain individuals who seem to rely too much on other people. If you are an adult and probably approaching middle age, you are of three different levels of life : accomplis...

She ain't going nowhere.....

Loneliness has always been a a friend of mine, way back when my thoughts were my own and very few people knew of my very existence.  Today the loneliness is back and it's back with a vengeance. "So what you upto tonight?" Asked John knocking me out of my deep thoughts. "Nothing much , got some writing to do and the words are at my finger tips and I don't want to lose them." I replied. John has always wanted the best for me, sort of like the big brother I never had. He opened up his doors to me this time when Mary threw me out for the first time. Who is Mary you ask. Where to start about Mary, well she was my first love and the first person who knew me behind the curtain I raised for most people. What did I do to get kicked out...  "STOP DAYDREAMING DUDE!!!" John screamed while shaking me. I hadn't noticed I had just wondered off. "Okay Bro,  since you are determined to stray my thoughts what do you have in mind?" I said hoping he...

Self stimulated reminiscing.......

Someone asked me the other day whether I am ever reminded of past events using scents. Well the truth is that , and I am sure I am not alone in this but I reminisce through all five senses.  Sometimes through a sixth sense, I am definitely not alone in that one. On a serious note though, today I shall elaborate on a few things that I use to self stimulate reminiscent  thoughts.  My most useful tool so far has been soul music. Do you remember the times in your life that you were truly happy. I'm not talking about some short instance where you got a new toy and you were happy but you got bored of it the next day thing , I mean a state of complete surrender to joy. I am pretty much not happy anymore, unhappy job, unhappy town and not being constantly able to spend a day with a loved one at will takes a toll on you. In order to keep myself from jumping over the deep end I try to take my mind back to those joyful moments in my past.  I do it by listening ...
