Did you know the author of that Chicken Soup for the Soul sap-crap (sappy crappy, hahah jk my friend had them in a downstairs bathroom if I recall correctly as a child, his mom read them I am assuming as memory is telling me) takes drugs to expand his consciousness? WHAT?!! Dude I heard him mention he used sacraments of either the chemical or plant variety on a Rich Roll podcast. He doesn't do it often but he said something about once a year or maybe even more often. Maybe less now actually. He has a history of exploring altered states of mind, which he says has benefited his life.

Anyways I tried to get into his 30 Day Sobriety Solution book but never followed through with it completely. What I found funny was that on their site (a big part of the program) people were saying how they didn't think it was possible for a problem drinker to cut back to a moderate level of healthy drinking. The thing is drinking is not health benefiting as research now shows us but people can still do it and get away with it responsibly. But ya I know for me as an individual there is no such thing as moderate intake of alcohol. Not a chance, cannot be trained. You can't train yourself to do that once you enter the state of alcohol intoxication dude.
I cannot say I encourage anyone to try to cut back (but hey I can't say keep harming your life with booze if you are a problem boozer either...) as it doesn't work for me nor for others who feel as I do but hey if Jack says you can who am I to stop you from trying?
Oh and these Gabor videos I wanted to share in my journal but in the comments of this blog they go. Hectic schedule and too much to get out. Will get more organized in due time.
