When It's Time to Stop Drinking
Sober Mofos
01/26/23 • 26 min
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.

Alcohol Dependence and the Need for Action!
Sober Mofos
05/09/23 • 11 min
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.

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.

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.

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.

A Leading Causes of Alcoholism and Addiction
Sober Mofos
04/25/23 • 16 min
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.

Early Sobriety and Your Health
Sober Mofos
02/09/23 • 21 min
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.
