I Could Go East. I Could Go West. It Was All Up For Me To Decide.

Bob Seger. Awesome musician whose music resonates within me. Sobering up is so much just like the undertone of the song "Roll Me Away." "It was all up for me to decide."

"I too am lost, I feel double-crossed

and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right..."

The hawk flying in the sky for me was God circling overhead with His protection; ready to throw me the rope of salvation from my addiction once I was ready and willing to reach up and grab it, and climb into His Arms.

"Stood alone on a mountain top,

starin' out at the Great Divide

I could go east, I could go west,

it was all up to me to decide

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'

and my soul began to rise

And pretty soon

My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,

I'm gonna roll me away tonight

Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',

keep searchin' till I find what's right

And as the sunset faded

I spoke to the faintest first starlight

And I said next time

Next time

[I'll] get it right..."

And I am telling you sobriety is definitely doing right by life, and by God. 

"[I] rolled across the high plains

Deep into the mountains

Felt so good to me

Finally feelin' free..."

Sobriety is for me...

"I spoke to the faintest first starlight,

And I said [to God this] time,

[This] time,

[I'll] get it right!!!

Stay sober. 

Stay vigilant. 

Your adversary roars like a lion. 

You can remain free. 

Stay sober. 

Stay vigilant. 

This time you'll get it right.

Amen.

Like Awesome Totally. Yuppers. Free:^)

Oh sure every now and again, like maybe every other week or three I'll think some brief thought about alcohol and then it's over. That's what I wanted to share in this post. I just won't ever drink ethanol again. Don't need it. Don't want it. Haven't had to over-ride an urge to purchase alcohol since about my third month sober way on back at the end of 2014. I've reshaped my thinking, and continually codify my desire to never consume an intoxicating beverage again. Life is just too much fun without it; and learning to overcome and conquer any want or need for alcohol has been an awesome liberation. A deep profound lesson in just what I can and may accomplish regardless the perceived difficulties.

There you go. Take care of yourselves. Remain vigilant. Remain sober. T.T.F.N:^)

PRAYING UNCEASINGLY...

"If we pray without ceasing, we shall not want matter for thanksgiving in everything..."
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ..."

Personally I alway try to be praying as taught by St. Paul. This is a difficult task indeed with the world interfering. It is a good thing when we are able to focus as much attention to our Greater Being, The One God The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Yes I'm old school about the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit thing. It's the same thing and whether I call it one thing or the other it matters not for salvation. So I try and pray unceasingly.
I know from my prayers about my own death that I am able to know in at least one part of how I will die. I will die sober. After that it is known but only to God Himself how I will die; but I am 100% confident I will indeed die sober.

I posted the following on a social media site to no comment and not a single "like". What I said means deeply within myself tremendous amounts of personal revelation so I post it here too. I have posted this also on my P.C.T. blog, Staggering Sober On The Pacific Crest Trail blogspot. My first cross-linking of these blogspots:^)

While I sat in this room of dreams, hand carved, with its nooks and crannies and soot from 1000 years ago, I pondered what I will leave behind. What kind of mark I will have made no matter how temporary my existence. My climb required a 20 foot ladder and allowed me this presence of 1000 years to rest upon my mind and ponder. What will I fill the nooks and crannies of my existence with, which will disappear when I do? 
Today is when we all have to shape what will be each our own legacy. Peace on this walk my friends. You can make it an awesome walk indeed.

Thank God Almighty I am Sober At Last Indeed. Make your walk sober too if you even slightly believe you might need to walk sober. Your inner-self indded could be correct. Peace.
