Comment: This Sunday was a good day for me, they usually are good days when I have a minimum of dumb distractions and drama trauma from others. I am good at creating those things on my own, especially dumb distractions. I realize more and more than I do have at least remnants of OCD and ADHD, though it depends on one's definitions and perceptions of those psychological terms. To me, my past indulgence in chemical substance addiction was a blatant manifestation of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and with my past 'crank' meth addiction it greatly magnified my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). What came first the chicken or the egg?

In these times I just stay sober, work a progressive recovery program and continue to work on my spiritual growth. I consciously strive to keep life as simple as possible, not complicate matters more than they are, though I know that life is often complicated. In fact, what at first seems complicated is put into a more clear focus once we comprehend certain complexities, yet much of life is complicated in connected reality. The many issues that we face in life cannot be clearly understood in separate isolation but should be understood in relation to other 'issues in question'. Thus, interrelated complexities arise in life that we must be aware of in our lives. The foolish will chuckle but the wise will understand.
I am glad to report that as of November 24 of this year I had six (6) years and five (5) months of physical sobriety, thus, my sobriety date is June 24, 2004. Keep in mind that we can be sober in the physical dimension, yet one can be drunk on one's concentric ego, or drunk off the illusion of power or drunk off one kind of mania or another. Words themselves have built in limitations to describe psycho-social phenomena. So please if you are reading these words try not to get it twisted and jump to conclusions about sobriety, recovery and addicts in general.
I may relapse tomorrow if I falter and fall in my progressive reocvery. That is why those of us who are involved in a process of recovery from drug addiction always say to take it one day at a time! However, as we do so that does not mean that we do not develop practical plans for the future. It means that we do not dwell on the past all the time and are not only in a day dream about the future. Rather we stay in the here and now of this existential magical moment.
We had a great CASA 12-Steps Meeting last night at the Salvation Army (aka: Camp Chaos) that was intense and well attended, especially with brothers from the area Salvation Army ARC (Adult Rehab Center). The term rehab is short for rehabilitation and the etymology of rehab means 'to equip'. Thus, rehab can help equip us to cope with life on life's terms with the practical skills we need to be functional and employable. We have Open CASA 12-Steps Meetings every Sunday at 7 PM at 1200 North 'B' Street at the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter in Sacramento, California.

Today the big trending topic on the Internet, at least from where I sit, was #WikiLeaks and its release of the Secret Embassy Cables or #CableGate ~ SEE: http://cablegate.wikileaks.org/
Indeed, the truth will set us free, set us free of accepted lies, deceptions and falsehoods. Let us be people who tell the truth as we know it in all our communications within our own self and with other peoples. At the same time we must not stubbornly cling to old beliefs when new evidence surfaces that impel us to change our minds about matters. Truth must remain open!
Let us remember each and every day that we must remember our Brother Leonard Peltier ~a Prisoner of War~ and take the time to discuss his continued unjust imprisonment in our conversations and discussions with others in our lives. His case is interconnected with the whole issue of the need to abolish prisoners in general. Caging people does not help to rehab them, fix them or address the core issues involves in why they have become prisoners. Plus, some prisoners are political prisoners of war that are caged with ever having a true trial by their peers. If you know where it is at find a copy of the U.S. Constitution and read it! Venceremos Unidos! ~Your humble blogger, Che Peta
P.S. Feel free to subscribe to this blog. I will try to post onto here on a regular basis. It helps to keep me centered. Sometimes with my own personal issues I tend to get scattered out on the Internet, help monitor several Yahoo Groups, work with other social networking websites, have several other blogs where I post to and am generally busy all the time. Pray for all of us!
