a new interview with Ville.. Ville: Nothing special really. Ive been busy. Id say 7+ [on a scale of 4 to 10]. Veera: You have said that the lyrics of the new album are more sexual than before. Youve also been sober for the past few years. Does this mean that sobriety has affected your libido? Ville: No Now Im starting to think about naughty things No. It doesnt affect my libido in any way. Its not a more sexual album than any of the previous ones. I think the word I used was horny. Horniness in my vocabulary usually means right now and sweat and now. Not wistfully looking back to how much fun we had in the sack. Its more about wanting to get in the sack right now. Its not more sexual, maybe more lustful. But its hard to say, lust means so many different things to people. Veera: Youre a pretty mysterious man, and people dont know much about you even though they read articles about you. How do you spend your everyday life? Ville: Like people normally do, opening their eyes and making a cup of coffee. [Then he babbles about how the coffee he drinks isnt as bad for your stomach as some other type of coffee and then comes to the conclusion that the two are actually the same thing.] I wake up and do something. Something to do with music. Then on Saturdays I watch TV and eat tofu ice cream because dairy products are bad for you. Veera: Youre not being serious Ville: About tofu ice cream or dairy products or what? Veera: About your weekend activities. Ville: Im usually doing gigs …

I continue my tale of a bad day at work.

AA Daily Reflections ~ “WALKING THROUGH FEAR… If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76 When I had taken my Fifth Step, I became aware that all my defects of character stemmed from my need to feel secure and loved. To use my will alone to work on them would have been trying obsessively to solve the problem. In the Sixth Step I intensified the action I had taken in the first three Steps — meditating on the Step by saying it over and over, going to meetings, following my sponsor’s suggestions, reading and searching within myself. During the first three years of sobriety I had a fear of entering an elevator alone. One day I decided I must walk through this fear. I asked for God’s help, entered the elevator, and there in the corner was a lady crying. She said that since her husband had died she was deathly afraid of elevators. I forgot my fear and comforted her. This spiritual experience helped me to see how willingness was the key to working the rest of the Twelve Steps to recovery. God helps those who help themselves.” Walking through fear… as we come to understand in sharing how we were back then, step five opens the door to self awareness, willingness and self honesty. What drove us mad back in the day. Now, less fear, less ego, more faith and courage to live truth, love and be loved back, and learn wisdom from others as life affords today… Romance and finance! Back then behind closed doors, love …

DonInLondon 2005-2010 Two wrongs can make us righteous and still we may not be right. Two rights can end up being wrong. Ten years after the “twin towers” and all the awful acts in that year the consequences are still unravelling. I could see what would happen over the next few years as did many others. I am sober today; looking back at those intemperate times, there is hope locally and globally. Just for today, I need remember and cherish everyone always… Why were others less hard working than me? I always thought I worked harder, strove harder to prove I was a worthwhile individual. Fear of not being good enough was always there in the back of my mind. And resentful when others were less hard working and what I thought was less committed. Driven to work hard and needing self-worth and always fear pushing me to deliver. I had no clue about balance in life, full steam ahead in every direction, squeeze the last drop out and be the life and soul of anything and everything. Did I have a zest for life? Hiding a great big misunderstanding about most of life and living. Which made me able to see all the faults and festering others did not really get to see in their own lives. So if I could not sort my own life, I got good helping others sort theirs. Living by proxy, feeling right by helping anyone and everyone feel right about their chosen path. Work hard and play hard, booze hard, party hard. Happy? Hardly, as I looked for the next right action, next right work, next right …

Over 100000 people use opium in Afghanistan. How many are addicted to heroin? Should opium be used as medicine to calm children? Today, illegal processing in Afghanistan has made drugs cheaper and more available within the country… The result is that increasingly Afghans themselves are succumbing to the dangers of the country’s largest cash crop. A recent United Nations survey puts the number of heroin addicts throughout the country at 50000. That’s in addition to 150000 people who use opium. Poverty and unemployment are two causes of drug abuse. But in Afghanistan, there’s another reason: Antonio Maria Costa: ‘…during the past quarter century, so many conflicts — against the Soviets, against one another, the mujahadin, the Civil War period, the Taliban rules, the fight against the Taliban, all of this has created a context whereby people, especially internally displaced people, especially refugees, finding themselves in dire conditions, so some of them started to use opium as a way of just forgetting the daily chores, and the daily difficulties and the tragedies in life President Karzai: ‘…drug addiction unfortunately has come to Afghanistan, mainly as consequence of being refugees in our neighboring countries. It ruins families, its something that worries me a lot its something that we have not yet has done much unfortunately.’ Many of the country’s addicts picked up their habit elsewhere — in neighboring Pakistan … or Iran, where per capita heroin use is the …
