Problem? What problem?
A very simple guide. #30 A meditation in words and photos By Todd Vogel
Who are you trying to convince?
There is nothing new here. You know too much already.
Three notions
You are the only one who knows.
Do you think you can fool yourself forever?
What now?
This book has lots of pictures. They speak the truth Do you?
The only one I Who is to say? A lot of great men and women had problems look at all they achieved. Yeah but‌ how many of them killed themselves? This condition kills in many ways.
The only one II It may be a quiet secret but occasionally you have to wonder maybe even regret But no, not me. Not that.
The only one III This affliction has many manifestations alcohol, the original’ Is joined by drugs, sex and gambling to name a favored few. Chances are, if it’s got you it’s left a few marks.
Fooling yourself I Denial, rationalization and the ever popular lie work - at least for a while The slope gets steeper we start to slide until we lose sight of the horizon
Fooling yourself II The substance, the behavior whatever form it takes doesn’t really matter not so much as its ability to convince us its ok - we’re entitled it’s all right. But we awake before the dawn knowing something is very wrong
Fooling yourself III Very wrong very alone afraid Tried - on your own didn’t work even worse. deep shit.
Take a deep breath. Find a new path. Turn the page.
What now I Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Somewhere out there A group of people just like you except they are getting better. Just like you - first lesson you are not unique.
What now II Most don’t stop until it gets really bad why should you be different? How bad is enough? Help is offered it’s up to you.
What now III Look around. If you want what they have. Do what they do. Listen, stifle the answers you think you have. Be ready to change.
Now, was that so hard?
