Evolution revolution weekender thread Sept 18th until...
 

It's conflict that makes choice possible.

Do I want to drink or don't I want to drink. What will I choose. How many times must I choose until I stop asking? What is the freaking answer to all this?

"You can't become what you want to be by staying what you've been."

That quote was passed to me by Nonsensical. A suggestion for this weekend's theme. I rather like the topic. Thank you Nons!

How must I evolve? How must I grow to get past the conflict of choice? There is a place when living sober that the choice is still made but it shifts somewhat. Or at least for me it has. From "should I drink?", "should I not drink?" to, "do I want to live like that?" or "do I want to live differently?". I choose differently over and over.

The conflict of choice will never go away. But it can be asked differently. It can grow and evolve.

What will you ask yourself this weekend that will allow you to make a choice to grow?

I think we need to hear some wise words from Mecanix don't you?

*Ring Ring*

“The first bell is the bell of mindfulness, calling to me and you.

It says stop what am i doing right now, take some breaths, feel my body, am I holding it tight and tense? Relax… calm down… life is a journey and not a destination, make the journey as glorious as possible.

The second bell is the freedom bell and I'm ringing it for you to let you know freedom from drink and drugs is available to you, come and hear us calling out to you.”

Welcome to your sober weekend!

Love the theme Ken

Very good post.

I'm in.

I'm in!

Great theme Ken. I'm definitely in. Thought I had a chance at shotgun this morning... even got up early and everything!

One of the most important reasons I quit drinking was so I could live a better tomorrow. That's why I stay sober too. Not only do I deserve it, but I brought two wonderful kids into this world. They shouldn't have to pay for the poor choices I make while they are in my life. I make plenty of unconscious mistakes just being me... that's life. I choose to live differently today than I did, I choose to be sober so that I can live life on my terms.

Fall and football are in the air. Hope everyone has a great sober weekend.

That's awesome CC!!!!! Very inspiring indeed!!!

I'm in. Timely topic for me. It's something I've been asking myself lately. What are my dreams and aspirations anymore? Getting out of bed just wanting to survive the day is rather soul deadening and I'm in need of some evolving. So, I'm in.

I'm in...page one anyway. ...

Count me in for a weekend of evolving revolution!!

Love it!!!

Same here, Ruby. Now that I've been sober a while, I'm feeling the need to spread my wings. Staying sober is no longer the focus of my everyday life. I'm feeling stuck in a pattern I don't seem to be able to break out of. Time for some changing and evolving. Or at least some more fun. Had a discussion about that just last night with my guy friend. He said he wishes we had more fun together. That opened up a whole can of icky wormy worms but it did get me thinking.

I'm in too!!!

It's going to be great weather this weekend and I can't wait to go to the woods.

Still have to work today and tomorrow but I feel the weekend coming. Woohoo!

Ruby, how's your back today? I hope it's feeling better.
I need an evolution revolution...I need to stir things up and get motivated, jazz it up, have more fun. Life is flying by so fast and there is still so much I want to do.
I had a drinking dream last night and was so grateful that it was only a dream when I woke up. It's a choice we make every day.
in the meantime. ..I love my new Shark vacuum!
have a great Thursday everyone.
