Question by A F: 22 days sober at 54 years old. Does it get better and when?
After drinking beer for 30+ years, bingeing 2wice a week I am tired and want the pain to stop…Unfortunately the mental anguish is way more difficult than I ever expected…what is wrong with my life?

Best answer:

Answer by Shibi
I can’t really tell you what is wrong with your life — I don’t know much about you and it’s not my place to judge the wrongness or rightness of your existence. It does seem like you are very unhappy and that drinking (beer) seems to be an issue. Maybe some emotional support would help. Have you looked into an AA program? Look for one in your area — it may help you to know that plenty of people feel just like you and they bear the unbearable, just like you can. (Don’t be intimidated by AA, it’s a good thing, I think). Good luck and congratulations: 22 days sober is something to be proud of.

February 12th, 2009 Game lost its # 1 spot again…man, people just won’t let go of my Super Mario Galaxy videos. THE GAME ONLY LASTED FOR A FEW YEARS!! MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE!!! December 29th, 2008 Thank you everyone! Now I have my first video with over 100000 views! ——————————————————————– THIS GAME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KINGDOM HEARTS AT ALL! All of you have been making remarks about relating Kingdom Hearts with the symbol on Oogie Boogie’s chest that came from the trash in Holiday Trash Hill. It has nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts so give it a rest! If I see another comment about it I don’t know what I’ll do! More problems…Why are you people asking what the name of the game is? It’s at the top! I got a new VCR/DVD player because the old one died. With this one, you can hear better music and notice more brightness. This is Tim Burton’s the Nightmare Before Chrismas: Oogie’s Revenge – A Filthy Finale again, but someone asked for it without all the buttons on the screen. You can see it on your own game. Go to Jack’s House and find the projector. If you beat a boss (Shadow Oogie …

CHECK OUT MY FILMS AND MUSIC AT www.milesofmemory.com http www.nimbitmusic.com An uncle and nephew battle drug addiction and gambling. Shot over a 3 year period: 100% Improv. I have a dynamite script, that was written after this shoot. 2004-2007. 3 parts. An original story by Miles Del Ray Camera Dave Lillich, John and Miles music and artwork by Miles (Motley Crue sequence cut by John Bodine) Starring Nick Simone, Al Burgo and Miles Del Ray The contents of this dvd were improvised, we started with a simple storyline; non-scripted dialogue and action shot freely on the streets of New York City. This dvd was produced for less than $300 using outdated consumer level cameras, zero permits, gaffers, lighting or sound techs. and caterer’s. With proper funding, and state of the art digital cameras and lapel mic’s, I could get a unique street vibe, (a front row shot, without alerting the front row) allowing us to capture the raw energy and pulse of the city. After viewing our first dailies, I realized that I had more than just a short film on my hands. I proceeded to write a feature script about an uncle and nephew struggling to break free from their own addictions, and survive the murky waters infested with hungry loan sharks. By the time the shoot was complete, I had written a 20 page ending. Over the next year, the script was completed. The true purpose of the video, is to get people to read the script. (This is by no means a “finished product”). Jam packed with horse betting …

Better than a news years resolution, simple yet more powerful than the standard new years resolutions that are so common and nostalgic like that they hold little more value than just a prolonged verbal celebration to acknowledge that it is a new year. A month later it wears off. That’s because we are trying to change symptoms of our problems and not the problems themselves. My New Years Solution to getting a happier, more fruitful life gets at the foundation of our life’s experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly. The root of our happiness and success in life starts with the way that we think. Therefore being honest and evaluating how we have been thinking to use more of the good thinking and eliminating the harmful, non productive and sometimes downright destructive thought processes that we identify, can greatly increase the level of happiness because we have less stress, better relationships, and more success at achieving our goals. It’s as simple as reflecting back on our past experiences, the good and bad. Then keeping it real with ourselves. Step 1 Reflect back on the good life experiences. Go ahead and pat ourselves on the back and be sure to re use those thought patterns that help us get their. Step 2 Reflect back on our bad experiences and zone in on our contributions and decisions help us get there. Then we may need to identify an alternate way we could have behaved to get different results than what we found ourselves dealing with. This way we already have …

— Lyrics- Been down and low as I can go With nowhere left to turn On the edge… I lose control… before I crash and burn Can I turn ’round… slow down? Hold… on… I’ve still got livin’ to do So… far gone… till I found someone like you In your eyes… you showed me reason to live Take time… the time it takes to forgive It’s my life… And I’ve changed for the better… I’ve faced the light It’s worth the fight See a new day Start a new way Get it straight… and it all comes together Made my mind up While there’s still time enough I’m alright I’ve changed for the better I was like a drowning man… in a wishing well Pulled me from the darkness… and saved me from myself Wake up… shake up… Let go… all I pretended to be I… know… I’ve seen the man I could be It’s my life… And I’ve changed for the better… I’ve faced the light It’s worth the fight Face a new day Start a new way Get it straight and it all comes together Made my mind up While there’s still time enough I’m alright I’ve changed for the better I’m wakin’ up to find With a clean and sober mind The world’s a new place… I’m okay I’ve changed for the better I’ve opened up my eyes Glad to be alive It’s never too late… and cheat fate And change for the better And I’ve learned there is no hope Until we are faced with doubt We can never fall in love… till we learn to leave without And I learned we can’t find peace Without conflict in our lives And the healing won’t begin Until we open up our …
