I AM AN ADDICT.......PART 7

Hi Im Kevin and Im an addict...
With a new sobriety day count Id like to start by saying I have made it 7 days. Dont applaud now, still have the rest of my life. I noticed something today, there are differences between us and other people. I saw someone the other day drink half a beer, do you know what would happen if I took even a bottle cap. Its crazy right? The difference between us addicts and recreational users has always puzzled me. How one can use on a friday night for fun then go a couple of weeks without even thinking about it, thats just short of a miracle. I used to comfort myself that I was just appreciating the drug in all its worth and I understood the implications. But I really didnt. I was an addict and no amount of mantra could change that. Maybe someday Ill find something to take my mind off the high but for now, Ill just let things ride and make myself better.

Thanks for letting me share.

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

Someone needs to shoot the DEEJAY....

Expensive drinks and high cover charges, that's the price I pay for a hassle free night in a club with great ambience. A great night to me is rated against some distinct markers. Company, choice of beverage and location. Company ,if it's not your usual crew, has to be put together systematically to ensure you don't end up with troublemakers but with more fun loving and well behaved people. The choice of beverage is just dictated by location and company. House parties should have more hard liquor than beers while the club scene requires more portability with regards to cans and bottles for the more agile of this generation. The last and usually most important, location location location. What goes into a location; distance, cost, ratio of the sexes, neighborhood and the music. If you are already used to certain clubs then the only variable present is the sexes and music. Unless you are bringing your own company then the ratio doesn't bother you much b...

Most of what I know I learned from television........

Ever watched the movie sarafina, well my mum and I watched it 3 times in cinema when I was barely 5 years old. Since then I have either kept a VHS tape or DVD nearby just in case I want to watch it. For those who know all the lines by heart, remember the day that Miss Masumbuga's ( Whoopie Goldberg's character) class needed to come up with an idea for the school show and she walked in late, she screamed ' Better late than never'. That question came in an exam that I hadn't read for when I was just a kid and I remembered the answer. Who gave you the talk? You know, about the birds and the bees etc. Well I don't exactly remember the actual show but I did learn quite a bit from 7nth heaven. I didn't have to go through the traumatic experience of getting the talk from my parents. Who taught you how to tie a tie? My father tried to teach me but I kept tying fat notes. Remember that scene in true lies where Arnold Schwarzenegger was tying his tie in the mirror ...
