WAR CONCEPT:Scared AfterThe problem with me escaping every once in a while is that I don't feel safe on the days that follow. There is an anxiety that strikes, causing me to become worrisome concerning all things.The future seems to look dim the day after an escape, and my personality lacks its charity. Contention seems to flow into my mind freely, causing me to be negative even towards those who mean the most to me. Why do we who struggle with addiction continue to struggle with relapse when this is the case for most of us. The days of living freely through the ways of the world are over since we took it to far, where we over stimulated ourselves; and now doing things of old aren't the same; and they never will be the same, simply because we took it to far. Opiate tells the biggest lie of all. Does He really make us feel that good? That fifteen minute window, only followed by nodding, irritability, and complacency. When I used to get lost through Opiate all of the time my wife had to pick up my slack. She had to be the man of the house and the wife of the house, since I was off hiding in the world of Opiate. What a joke opiate is. But for some reason he is still in my mind, and He's not even that cool. Fact of the matter is-is that we can't be cool individuals if we are in a relationship with Opiate because Opiate is not cool; therefore, if we are taking something into our bodies that isn't cool, what makes us think that He is going to make our character bright? The bright character can only be brought fourth by us doing bright things; and we all know what those bright things are since we were all born with the ability to discern between the light way and the dark way. I guess in this concept I'm speaking to the man. Why don't we stop escaping and be real men. A real man lives the simple life, not the quick and immediate fast life. Who's more of a man: the man who stays home with his family and stays clear all weekend? Or the man who is off escaping all weekend while his wife picks up his slack? Is hiding behind Opiate all weekend the sign of a real man? Or does a real man kick his Opiate habit, and decide to live in the world clear, and without escape?A real man walks the path of life boldly, and without escape. If you are escaping often, then you may need to re-evaluate your life, where you make the decision to either be a real man, or to stay that of a fake man- where you continue to go on in being a coward. I have been a coward a lot of my life, but I've made the decision that I'm going to fight the WAR for the rest of my days so that I can one day not only be healed completely, but also have the opportunity to reach my full human potential in this life. We get one chance to live this life, so why should we settle for anything less? Why wouldn't we want to be put on track to achieving our full human potential? I can tell you right now that we will not even have a chance to be who we could become in this life if we don't remain clear. I want to see who I can become in this life through this WAR lifestyle. I want to see who I can become fifteen years from now. I don't want to be the same person I am now, but I want to be even a better person. Who do you want to be in fifteen years?
