Extreme emotion is your friend. Get
overly emotional about everything. Be outraged not only at perceived slights
directed at you but at anyone else as well, even strangers.
Drink lots of caffeine and energy drinks. So what if it makes it hard to sleep.
Sleep and rest are overrated anyway. Besides you’ll get plenty of sleep when
your dead.
Eat anything that is quick and easy. Food is food and time is precious. What is
more important, eating or working, texting, blogging, chatting, reality TV,
online poker, partying etc.? The body may be a temple, but it is your temple so
decorate it anyway you want.
Vitamins and supplements are expensive, and some say they really don’t work
anyway, so they must be a waste of money.
Stay busy. Even when “relaxing” do something you deem constructive, like
texting, chatting, Facebook, etc. God forbid you take any real down time.
Avoid prayer and meditation, religiously.
Never walk if you can ride.
You will always have time to exercise later, when you have more time.
When you do get sick, make sure you research the condition at length. Speak of
your malady with everyone (make sure you rehearse your speech, don’t want to
leave anything out) and then listen intently when they in turn share their
experiences, especially the negative ones to see how they may apply to you.
And never, ever, turn to The Miraculous in anything.

Silk sheets or city streets, Park Avenue or park bench, addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer of lives.
My name is Vincent Lee Jones and I have been in recovery since September 1985. My professional career began when I was nearly 20 years in recovery and was asked to work pro bono with at risk students at Huntington Beach High School. At the time I had developed a reputation within the at large recovery community as an effective communicator and was known to some of the faculty. After the death of two students from prescription drugs I was asked to start working with at risk students, which I did for nearly 5 years. Word of mouth lead to offers of compensated freelance Facilitator and Director positions with numerous local treatment facilities in the ensuing years.
As a retired Building Contractor/Designer, working in conjunction with a treatment facility, I created a construction program utilizing a workforce comprised almost exclusively of people new or returning to recovery, helping them to not only learn a trade and start making a living but since many of them had relapsed numerous times, to begin truly building a foundation with real aftercare to live free of active addiction. This program changed many lives.
In my 30+ years in recovery I have worked with thousands of individuals from all walks of life, teenagers to the retired, famous to infamous, prosperous to those living hand to mouth, adamant atheists to those embracing strong Religious beliefs; suffering from all manner of intoxicant and behavior-based addictions as well as those who love and care about them, both as a member in recovery Fellowships and as a treatment professional. I can be contacted at 714-366-1725.
I write and publish daily a recovery based nondenominational spiritually based blog at https://livinginspirit.blogspot.com with accompanying videos that can be found as well on YouTube and LinkedIn at Vincent Lee Jones.
