Two Types Of Thinking

12/30/2018

 
​     Two types of thinking
            I clearly remember people telling me you should stop before you get addicted. I had the first kind of thinking. I don't have to stop because I'm not addicted. So I didn't stop. Then I woke up one day and someone told me I should stop and I realized I couldn't stop because I was addicted. That is when my thinking changed to the second type. I started telling myself that I was an addict and that was my new reason to not stop.
             The reality is that with both those ways of thinking have one consistent theme use. Addiction exists where ever use exists. The thinking may change but the use is the same.

Straight from not enough to too much. I still think of this often as critical mass as I put it is something that is known will come but only after it has happened. We know a cup can only hold so much water but which drop will be the one to make it spill over. Of coarse you know after it happens and then the temptation is to say too late instead of learning and turning back. Its never too far until it is and the line is always changing. The best comics can figure out what is too inappropriate at a specific time and go right up to that line without crossing. The line moves all the time so the art is to navigate it. the same could be said of accountants in regards to taxes. In turn all of life is this way. the master is one that can walk that line. The trick is to walk the line and fall on the side of less as opposed to more. This is the wisdom position.

    Note

    I was an Alcoholic
    This blog contains many of the ideas that helped me to get sober and stay sober. 

    ​Everything in Italics is me now, commenting on the writing from 10 years ago. Everything not in Italics is the 8 year old writing. In some ways I am the same but in others very different that is what make it interesting.
