A Dream Within a Lucid Dream and Other Shenanigans

My Sober Addiction

I know I have entire episodes where I don’t even mention addiction, sobriety, recovery, sober living, or any of that. I’m not really sorry for that because well, we do, in fact, recover and then move on into our lives as sober individuals. So, what happens next? Well, that’s where this podcast comes in, assuming you are thriving in your sobriety. A lot of us had brushes with death…if we didn’t just straight up look it in the eye! Most of us have had at least one overdose, and some were life changing, even if not immediately. I feel like I at least got to take a peek into the other side and what I witnessed still wasn’t enough to cause me to kick addiction and get sober right way, but it was enough to make me start asking questions about spirituality. When I did finally decide that enough is enough and to get sober, or at least to give sobriety an honest effort, I realized that I am now what they call a “seeker,” someone who is looking for the answers to life’s biggest questions.
Sober living is just the beginning. Getting clean and finally clear minded causes you to actually think (maybe too well) and thinking without the fog addiction to heroin or fentanyl or whatever drug is rather eye opening. You realize how cloudy your whole brain and thought process really was. It’s kind of scary looking back on it now. Sure, the drugs definitely cloud your brain but the one track mind of active addiction of “get more drugs” at any cost and nothing else matters is…well, its really a F’d up way to be. Once you’ve freed yourself from that, you see just how insane active addiction is.
So, now we are spending the rest of our lives as shining examples to those still suffering in active addiction and creating amazing lives and doing amazing things in service to others. So, if I don’t exactly apologize for spending entire episodes without even mentioning addiction, sobriety, recovery, sober living, etc. now you know why. We are moving on from addiction, we are moving into reality creation. Yes, the Laws of Attraction (not my favorite but whatever) and of Assumption (still not my favorite but closer to my truth) and Vibration (now we are getting there), Reality Creation, etc. BE AS IF… That’s all! I guess it doesn’t come as a surprise at this point what I’m NOT talking about in this episode. Just humor ya man one time, would ya? Thanks. I’ll do a “crazy addiction stories” episode next…or maybe the one after that since the next one is already outlined. aaaahahaha
Much love and respect, Matt
