Having a calm, peaceful mind is something that eluded me most of my life. Before I stopped drinking, I led a lifestyle that was chaotic at best and dangerous at worst. The idea of serenity was a joke. I lived a fast life, filled with bad choices, cheap thrills, and pointless pursuits. There was very little meaning to my existence, as far as I could discern, and serenity certainly played no part in any of it!
Unfortunately, many of us rely on alcohol to bring a false sense of serenity, peace, and comfort into our lives. Only when we’re able to break free from the cycle of drinking and bad decisions will be able to pursue, and hopefully achieve, lasting peace.
If you haven’t been able to stop drinking yet, make it a point to create as much serenity in your life as possible. We can’t expect a life without some turmoil. In fact, life might feel a little boring if we didn’t have some drama. But we also don’t need to live a life dominated by angst.

Addiction often arises from a need for constant action. People who are prone to develop an addiction to alcohol (or other intoxicants) often crave a certain level of excitement in their daily lives or they quickly become frustrated. The idea of simply sitting at home reading, watching TV, or doing nothing feels like a prison.
This is especially true when we’re young. Young people want to be in the middle of the action whenever and wherever they can find it. When we’re young, we have a desire and need to be around people our age especially on the weekends and at night. If we're not in the middle of the party, we feel like we're missing out on something. This is all perfectly natural and normal.
The problem arises when we associate our social life too closely with our drinking life. The two can overlap so closely that the lines are blurred. This can be especially true in and around the “college years,” in our late teens and early 20s. Eventually, we instinctively associate drinking with the fun and excitement of being amongst our peers and all the joy and adventure that comes along with it.
Eventually, this can lead to an overdependence on alcohol to bring forth the associated feelings of having fun with friends and being young.

One of the most common traits shared amongst problem drinkers is intense discomfort in social situations. I think it's safe to say that all people feel some level of social anxiety. However, in my experience, I have discovered that people with addictive personalities, heavy drinkers especially, struggled to feel comfortable in any type of social situation. Interacting with other people can feel so uncomfortable that we need to alleviate our stress with the ancient social lubricant called alcohol. Without a few drinks in our systems spending time in any type of social environment can feel annoying, even painful.

One of the most common factors shared by many people around the world who have a problematic relationship with alcohol is fear. Fear is a brutal beast that must be overcome if we are ever going to reduce or quit drinking. Fear can never be eliminated entirely from the human psyche. It's built into our brains in order to help us survive in the world. However, if we want to overcome a reliance on alcohol, it's imperative that we learn to recognize our fears so that we are able to work with them rather than trying to run from them.

Early recovery is filled with emotional highs and lows. The first year of sobriety can be especially crazy. We swing from high to low in a rollercoaster ride of feelings, some good, some not so good. It's a crazy time. You can feel amazing one day (or hour) and frustrated and depressed the next. But how do we handle it? How do we deal with all the ups and downs in the early days, weeks, and months of sobriety? In this episode, I discuss the synthetic bliss of what is called the "pink ould" stage of recovery and how to avoid any pitfalls, and most importantly how to avoid relapse.

A big challenge that many recovering alcoholics and addicts face is their inability or, more often, unwillingness to let go of resentment and anger for the perceived wrongs they have suffered. Self-pity is a far too common mental ailment that plagues many addicts in the early stages of recovery. The idea that we’ve been dealt a bad hand in life too often follows people into early sobriety and often results in relapse. Don’t let this happen to you! Protect your sobriety at all costs!

We all do stupid shit when we drink, right? I like to tell certain war stories as a way to share with others that we all have done awful and often ridiculous things in our lowest moments. Alcohol can lead to some horrible behavior -- sometimes it's dark and sometimes it's funny. But we all do it, so it's important to remember these moments and to share these experiences so that we can work through our shame and regret. This is one of my war stories about getting busted in Hollywood while I was drunk and trying to score drugs.

One of the most difficult challenges we face as recovering addicts is our inability to establish a stable and healthy financial life in recovery. Even addicts who have been sober for decades often have serious money management problems that plague them and keep them from enjoying life more fully. It seems to be a part of the addict's DNA; many of us just suck at implementing basic financial principles in our lives. It’s ironic because when we’re still drinking and using, we’re absolutely brilliant at scheming ways to pay for our booze and drugs. We’re natural hustlers when it comes to feeding our addictions no matter how much they cost. Where there’s a will there’s a way. If we need to feed the addiction monster, we’re going to find a way to feed it, even if it means not feeding ourselves or our families. We’re ingenious when it comes to financing our addictions.
But once we get sober, we look around us, often dazed by the financial devastation we have imposed on ourselves. How the hell did it get this bad? What happened to my life? I’m broke and there doesn’t seem to be any way out!
The good news is, there are ways to repair and rebuild your financial condition and you don’t have to be a money wizard to implement them in your life.

Can meditation help you in sobriety?
If you’re an alcoholic or addict like me, you probably have a crazy-ass mind that’s difficult to quiet down. My mind races like a demon! My thoughts jump around from one thing to another so quickly I sometimes can’t keep up. I often find it difficult to concentrate on anything for any length of time before my mind jumps to something completely unrelated.
Meditation has been and continues to be, one of the most important aspects of my sobriety. It keeps me feeling sane and calm and provides a semblance of peace and serenity when there otherwise would be only mental chaos and stress. At the end of this podcast I’m going to teach you a very simple technique that I’ve using for years to calm my mind, but first, let's discuss what meditation is and how it can help you.

I abused alcohol for more than over 30 years! This is my story of how I was able to quit drinking alcohol and achieve a healthy, happy life in sobriety.
If you want to quit drinking alcohol or think you might have a drinking problem, listen up! How do I stop drinking? It's a question many people ask. There's no easy way to quit drinking but a life free from alcohol can be achieved by anyone who is willing to try. People who are trying to get sober or want to quit drinking often ask how did you achieve sobriety.
There are different ways to end alcohol dependency and different reasons to stop drinking (and using drugs). I offer my experience with drinking for 30 years and how and why I quit drinking 15 years ago, and how my life has changed in so many amazing ways as a result of achieving sobriety. If you want to quit drinking alcohol or think you might have a drinking problem, watch this video.

When I first got sober, I was in terrible shape. I was pale, pudgy, and soft as a marshmallow. I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without panting. I suffered from horrible stomach pains morning, noon, and night. I experienced frequent migraines. I couldn't sleep. My diet consisted mostly of cheeseburgers, ramen noodles, soda, and milkshakes. I was still smoking cigarettes.
The idea of exercising and eating healthy was the farthest thing from my mind when I was drinking. You could just as easily have asked me to saw off my thumb with a butter knife. Exercise at that stage consisted of walking to the liquor store for the third bottle of wine or running up the stairs to my drug dealer's apartment. That was as far as my workout routine ever went.
After a few months of sobriety, I made a conscious decision that I was going to get physically (and mentally) fit!
But how would I begin this miraculous transformation? There was still a lot of damage to repair. I felt like a decrepit, old car that had been sitting in the backyard for decades, abandoned and overrun by rust and decay. Rebuilding and repairing the Jalopy called my body was going to be a daunting task.

I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that many people upon starting their own sober journey, think this way when they first put down the bottle. It's not uncommon for people who are in the early stages of sobriety to be surprised by the fact that they still feel lousy all the time.
I experienced this phenomenon myself. The early stages of my sobriety were plagued by intense emotional discomfort and spiritual angst. Even though I had stopped drinking I often felt as bad, or worse than I did when I was drinking.
The real problem was not alcohol. Alcohol abuse was nothing more than an external reaction to what I was feeling inside. I was using alcohol to repress a lifetime of fear, anger, and resentment. Not until I was ready and willing to face my internal life would I be truly sober as I now define sobriety.
What the hell! I thought I was supposed to magically feel a million times better once I stopped drinking. How come I still feel like complete crap most of the time and suffer from intense feelings of insecurity, anger, and frustration?
During the early stages of my recovery, there were times when doing even the simplest tasks like going to the store or asking someone for directions felt excruciating. The most intense discomfort always occurred when I was required to speak with other humans.
I have always felt ill at ease around other people, especially groups, small or large. What I realized early in my life is that I felt so much discomfort around other people that drinking became the only way that I could find a sense of ease in social situations. I was, and remain, introverted and shy. So why wouldn't I utilize any substance that can make me feel comfortable being around others?

I believe that in the course of a lifetime, most of us are given a second chance to repair any mistakes we have made or, in more extreme cases, start our lives over entirely.
As far as my story goes it’s quite clear to me that I was given a second chance at life, an opportunity to redo what I had so badly screwed up prior to getting sober. Prior to getting sober, I lived a life that was self-absorbed and self-destructive. I indulged a weakness for alcohol and drugs to the point where I was destroying my health, my personal relationships, my finances, and any hopes of a successful future.
As stated, I began drinking at around the age of 12. by the age of 14 I had advanced to experimenting with hard drugs. My first love remained, however, alcohol. This was a love affair I would continue to indulge for the next 31 years.
My story is in many ways like so many other alcoholics and addicts who I have spoken with throughout the years. While alcohol and drug experimentation were fun and exciting for a long time, I eventually crossed an invisible line into addiction. By the time I realized I was a full-blown alcoholic and addict, it seemed like it was too late to turn around and change the path of my life.
At a certain point, many of us who struggle with addiction simply give up and give in to our self-destructive nature. I had accepted the idea that there was simply no way out of my predicament. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG.

Getting sober is never easy. Staying sober is often just as difficult. Giving up alcohol (or drugs) is a great achievement for anyone. If you've managed to get sober, or are currently trying to get sober, congratulations! You've made a great decision that will improve your life and the lives of the people you love. Stick with it and never give up; it's worth the effort.
However, it's important to remember that once we get sober and manage to put away the destructive substances that were harming us, we still have to face life in all of its chaos. There will be daily challenges, turmoil, and difficulties for all of us, no matter how long we've been sober. Just because we get sober doesn't mean the rest of our days on earth are going to be simple and carefree, without disturbances, sadness, or pain. Sorrow and suffering are a part of experiencing a full life, just as much as joy and pleasure. But naturally, we want to experience more abundance, happiness, and positivity than sadness and pain.
To fully experience all the positivity and abundance that sobriety (and life) can offer, you must cultivate a positive attitude – every day! That's what "Sobertude" means, developing a positive attitude of gratitude in sobriety.

A big part of early sobriety for me was the sorrow I felt because of the poor decisions I had made and the lifestyle I had pursued. It made me sad and angry to think about “what could’ve been" and the potential I had sacrificed in aimless pursuits. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. My life was supposed to be epic and triumphant, not small and broken. By this stage in my life, I was supposed to have all the cash and prizes. I was supposed to be one of the winners. I was supposed to have a fat bank account. I was supposed to have a big house. I was supposed to have a wife and children. I was supposed to have fame, fortune, and adulation.
The wreckage of my past was not a pretty sight to behold. But it was something I had to face to move forward. I had to look back and fully embrace all the mistakes and bad decisions I had made in my life, and be willing to forgive myself and others who had hurt me. Otherwise, I was doomed to repeat the past and keep swallowing the poison of regret that polluted my mind and soul.

What does early sobriety feel like? In this podcast, we'll discuss what early sobriety feels like and how to cope with the emotional rollercoaster of recovery.
Human beings need to express their emotions. It’s as natural as breathing. But as alcoholics, we often choose to suppress unpleasant and painful feelings by drinking them away. Even positive emotions like joy, excitement, and love can often feel prickly and overwhelming. They sting too much. Drinking away positive emotions is as common as drinking away bad ones. Either way, we prefer to remain as numb as possible, lest we feel too much. Why feel anything if we can just open a bottle and feel nothing?
In the early days, weeks, and months of my recovery I was frightened by the constant feelings that bombarded me like I was under siege. It never seemed to end. One moment I'd be calm and laughing; seconds later, I'd be weeping like a baby. It was weird and sort of pathetic.

When is it time to stop drinking or using? What are the red flags and warning signs to look for that indicate you've taken it as far as you can? One of the reasons so many people consider sobriety in their 30s and 40s is that the physical demands of drinking are no longer fun and cute. The older we get, the more brutal and crippling the hangovers become. We lose the ability to deal with the flood of poison we pour into our bodies. And it's important to realize that alcohol is simply that; poison. There is no nutritional value to alcohol. It serves no purpose other than to alter the chemical composition of your brain temporarily.
If you drink long enough and hard enough, your body will begin to rebel against the poison washing through your stomach, liver, and blood. The human body can only take so much abuse before it begins to break down from the onslaught. And if like me, you're also adding cigarettes and drugs into the mix, it's only a matter of time before your body collapses from exhaustion.
In this podcast, we'll discuss how I knew it was time to quit drinking and get sober and what you can look for if you're thinking about sobriety.

What is it like getting sober? How do you get sober? What happens in sobriety? Is staying sober difficult? Is it scary getting sober? How do I socialize without drinking? These are common questions most people have when considering the idea of getting sober or slowing down their drinking. Hopefully, this podcast will answer many of those questions.
