Getting High On Sobriety Alone

Posted on by

People that have an addiction of any kind such as Drugs or Alcohol get addicted to these because of the high they get when using.  I can relate to this because I was one of these people.

We all start out just partying and living it up at bars and party’s, and having a good old time.  Some people, like myself have a hard time just walking away after a fun time, and don’t drink or use till a next function comes up to do it all over again.

I couldn’t wait that long, I felt I needed more and more to get my high.  This becomes a habit of which then turns into a blown out addiction.  Our addiction we now have is because we have built up an Alcohol Tolerance.

We need more and more to get that feeling of the first time using.  Some of us are functioning alcoholics like myself.  I did everything needed in everyday life, such as work, attending family functions but, I always had in the back of my mind thinking about my next buzz and when will I get it.

I forgot what it felt like to be Sober 24 hours a day.  My schedule was 8 hours sleep time, 8 hours work time, and 8 hours partying time.  This went on 7 days a week, 12 month a year with no break at all.

I have learned that we miss out on so much that life has to offer us all do to our Addictions.

As years went by and I got older and wiser, I started to think, I’m missing out on everything good in my life because I’m catering to my Demons that have taken control of my mind and my body.

Finally I threw my arms up and said, I Surrender, I have had enough.  I admitted I was in denial all those years and now it’s time to get HIGH ON SOBRIETY ALONE!

There is nothing better then Sobriety in my opinion.  I just wished that I would have done this change in my life years ago.  So, if anyone wants to get a GREAT HIGH in their life just try SOBRIETY, plus it costs not even a penny, just a commitment to yourself that you will never be able to pick up that first drink.

Having and keeping a Positive Attitude will indeed help you so much in your Journey to Sobriety!

Video Game Addiction Help

Do you need video game addiction help? If so, help is available, but it’s not the kind of help you’re thinking of. You can’t go to a local addiction help center for video game enthusiasts. Not yet, anyway. That said, there is a way to help yourself. The key phrase is ‘help yourself.’ While this might sound irritating, that’s only because you know it’s the only answer. I know because I’ve been there. I have mild arthritis in my right hand from playing endless hours of video games for three decades.  Luckily, I eventually got the video game addiction help that I needed to break free.

If you’re reading this, then you’ve already taken the first step. Many people don’t realize they have a problem. It’s not until their social, family and career lives are destroyed before they start to think about quitting. If they’re lucky enough to have a good friend, that friend might drop a hint as well.

Solving your video game addiction is like solving any other addiction problem. If you want your solution to last, you must replace a bad habit with a good one. Why do you think alcoholics go to Alcoholics Anonymous? It’s not really to sit around and talk about their problems. It’s to replace the habit of drinking with the habit of meeting in a group with people that have similar problems. Since this option isn’t available for addicted gamers, it’s highly recommended that you replace your bad habit with some form of exercise. This doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym and lift ridiculous amounts of weight or run a marathon. It could be something as simple as going for a daily walk, hiking, riding a bike, kayaking, joining a volleyball or softball team, etc. There are so many options out there. You can usually find activity groups in your area online. Most people who join are just like you. They’re looking for something new.

The most important thing to remember is that video games are artificial. Life is real. Don’t waste the precious time you have on this Earth locked into an artificial world.
