Step 3: "Made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understand Him.”

Here I go again, thinking I'm the top dog of the universe. I don't know why I always challenge forces greater than myself, forces that I can't even comprehend. The truth is I think and feel like I'm unbreakable. But the fact is, I'm just a man. And a weak one at best. There is nothing special about me, why I do what I do is beyond me. I don't even think I hate people in general, I think I just hate people who are identical to me. And I just take it out on the world instead of doing something about it. So I create this false sense of power to fool myself into not looking at the truth about who I am. I know I could do great things, but my fear of success and failure cripples me.

So why the false sense of superiority. Well, I'm 35 and I've accomplished nothing, I've failed as a father and I've had an addiction problem my entire adult life. I also have a bullshit attitude as well. So who the fuck am I to be insulting anyone little lone something beyond my comprehension. Whatever it is, it truly scares the shit out of me. So I challenge it just to see if it is real. When will enough be enough? When it kills someone I love? If that’s the case then who's fault is it really? I had no idea that I was this destructive doing nothing at all. Who or whatever you are… I don't want to fight you anymore and I'm sorry that I thought I ever could. The only thing I hate is me and I am afraid I don't have what it takes to fix it. I guess I just wanted to be the worst case scenario so that natural selection would come for me. Although, I never thought it would come for those I love, just to teach me a lesson on how to be a human. I've wasted so much time, the only thing I feel worthy of is these feelings that I have.

Then I act as I deserve more, like the universe owes me a debt me for wasting my time in this beautiful life. If I were you I don’t know if I could forgive me. But I'm afraid that you will and then I'll fuck it up again. Because that’s all I know how to do, no matter how hard I try I break every promise. I take advantage of whatever will allow me too, I manipulate every situation to my benefit myself. And still, you believe in me…Why?

I want to be the best that I can, I just don't want to do what it takes to become that. I feel like I've dug the deepest hole in the history of mankind. Who the fuck want to climb out of that? I feel nothing for anything, just pity for myself. I fucking cried over Sabrina when she broke up with me, but not for my sister Michelle when she died. That’s how fucking selfish I am. Why haven't you ended my life yet? Not that I want you too, but just tell me what you see in me. Maybe I can see it too. Knowing me though, it will probably just inflate my ego. So it's probably best that you don't. So I can just pick a fucking fight with Karma, but I can't face my own fears. What kind of idiot does shit like that? I fuckin do. Over and over and over, every chance I get. That’s like choosing to eat mud over steak and lobster. No one in the whole world, out of 7 billion people would make that choice, not 1. But somehow I raised the bar in stupidity again. So why is my life so wonderful otherwise? I'm way overdue for a tragedy I know this because I've never even had 1. I just get bailed out and make my problems other people's problems and then dip the set.

I'm a coward…I'm everything that I hate, if I do nothing. How do I change everything about me? And still, feel like me? And not just what the world wants me to be. Will I love who I become? What if I don't? Some days I feel like the world would be better if everyone was like me and other days I feel like it would be better off without me. How the fuck do I fix that?

I guess I should start by forgiving myself for all of this, correct what I can, and do my best to make sure that none of it happens again. Easier said lol, for damn sure. Even if I somehow did all of that, I still wouldn’t feel worthy of any type of benefit. So I'm always gonna feel some type of way. Right now, I feel like I don’t deserve any of this sorrow and if I do everything right and somehow get the good life, I will feel like I don’t deserve any of that either. So in a sense, nothing changes. Or maybe that’s just my addiction trying to pull me back. All I know, is that I know nothing at all. And the fact is, nothing changes, if nothing changes.

I know for a fact that I can't overcome all of this alone. I have to give all of this to my Higher Power.

I, Theodore Matthew Adam Pimlott have made the decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God our Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ our Lord & Savior, and The Holy Spirit as I understand Them. This contract and all of it's stated agreements will be carried out to the best of my abilities and at the very least be considered daily. Such agreements are stated below. I Theodore Matthew Adam Pimlott agree to the following: 1. To acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior as my Lord & Savior. 2. To acknowledge and accept God's love. 3. To retire all aspects of my life witch may not serve myself and/or others. 4. To live within the Natural Law. 5. To surrender my own will and allow God to work through me. 6. To show love, kindness, and compassion to all of God's creations. 7. To seek only to better himself and those around him. 8. To follow the 10 commandments. 9. To avoid all of the 7 deadly sins and/or any other immoral act of any kind. 10. To live my life in such a way that I would leave this world better then it was before I got here. This is a Divine contract and the agreement is solely between these 2 parties. The agreement will begin on July/07/2020 and will end on the first day after Theodore Matthew Adam Pimlott's death. Any additions to this contract may be revised at any time. Signature: Theodore Matthew Adam Pimlott Signature: God our Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and The Holy Spirit

Step 2: "I came to believe that a power greater then myself could restore me to sanity."

Dear addiction:

There was a time when you were so cool to hang out with. You gave me the confidence to do a lot of the things that I was too afraid to do. I always wanted to be fearless. And you taught me to stand in my power, to speak my truth, and to not value other people's opinions. But too much of a good thing can be very destructive and you never warned me about this. I was very naïve when we met. So I don't blame you, shit I'm not even mad at you. You were only doing what you were designed to do. You built me up and then brought me down, you gave me everything I wanted and needed at the cost of everything I loved. That's 1 hell of a price to pay, but now that we are all squared up. I think I'm gonna let God my Father in Heaven and a new teacher, Fresh Start Recovery Center take it from here, they wanna teach me compassion and hard work. And that is something you know nothing about. LOL, we had a good run Lil buddy, but now that you have nothing left to teach me, it's time for us to part ways. So this is a farewell old friend, I hope to never see you again. Thank you for the lessons that you have taught me. And please, take it easy on the next guy. People are not as bad as you think they are.

Sincerely Theo

Good Vibes Only!

DAILY ROUTINE

How can I better myself every day? What do I need to do to be better for myself and others? How can I benefit the world? What do I love to do? Who am I? When will life get better? Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions? I have, so I did a bit of digging. And I had discovered that I had no daily routine or a balanced schedule that benefited anyone other than myself. And then I thought...Why does everything I do for myself have to only be for me? Well, it doesn't. What you do for yourself you in return do for others, whether you realize it or not.

You may have heard that children follow your example more than your advice, true. So what do adults follow??? Nothing really! Most of them think that they got shit all figured out. I know I used to. But the smartest person I've had the pleasure of talking with told me that he knows nothing at all. And for the life of me, I could never understand why he would believe that about himself, then it hit me. He knows nothing so that he can remain teachable.

So I put together a little daily routine for adults so that they may balance their life and enjoy the rest of their days. Should they choose to? I promise once this becomes your daily routine, your life will not be the same as it once was. Fore-warned, for some people, it may get worse before it gets better, but it will get better once you shovel through the shit.

Daily Balance check-list (5:30 am start)

1. Recovery check-in (30 min) 2. Exercise/Diet (30 min-1 hr) 3. Productivity (6-8 hrs) 4. Writing Meditation (1 hr) 5. Goals (1-2 hrs) 6. Recovery check-out (30 min) 7. Rest & Relax

1) Recovery Check-In (30 min )

Wake up at 5:30 am and give thanks and count my blessings. Do a 15 min focus meditation on raising my frequency. We wake up at 5:30 to maximize our productivity, so we can do as much as we are capable of doing in 1 day, to be of service to the world that gave us so much. The reason that we count our blessings is so that we don't stay focused on the negative aspects of life. And so we remain grateful for what we have. And stay aware of the fact that even the most unfortunate person in the world has too many blessings to count. And the purpose of this focus meditation exercise is to practice starting and ending your day the same way every time, positively. The focus meditation is meant to shed light on everything that you need for the day or what you need to get done. So we don't lose track of our responsibilities. Raising your frequency is like swimming in a river with the current instead of against it. Life is much easier, things just seem to fall into place where they should be. And it increases your chance of manifesting miracles. To raise your frequency avoid things like: Self-pity, blaming others, negative self-talk, making excuses, ignoring your problems and not addressing them, and speaking the truth without compassion. Instead do things like: Being of service to others, self-reflection, self-discovery/awareness, creative arts, meditation, positive self affirmations, random acts of kindness. Anything that makes you feel good that didn't come at the cost of someone else's expense.

2) Exercise/Diet (30 min-1 hr)

Work out for 30 min and then research nutrition and diet plans that are best for you. Everyone complains about the price of gas, but no one gives a shit that 1L of pop costs 3$. Realize that everything in life cost's money. So complaining about the price of healthy living only drives you further away from it. If you could pay 1 single price for good health it would most definitely be out of your price range. It costs money to feel good, as does every other benefit in creation. If you want good benefits at work then you show up every day, spend the time and sell your efforts and skills. If you're willing to do it for money then why not do it for good health. Good health is the greatest possession you could ever obtain, even more so than money. If you can't put a price on feeling good, then put the effort into it. Diet and exercise go hand in hand like coffee and cigarettes, it's way better if you have both.

3) Productivity (6-8 hrs)

Design a recovery program. Work the 12 steps of N/A. Find a job. Pursue a passion. Do something to better your situation or improve your future. If you don't have a goal to work towards then your time becomes invaluable to you and others. Do you see it? When you achieve your goals, you inspire others to do the same, and when you share your struggles then you allow others to know that they are not alone when experiencing the same. Feeling alone in a situation probably destroys more dreams then drugs, which is why they both go hand in hand, to increase productivity. So if your enemy is doubling up. Why wouldn't you? Team up with like-minded people who share the same goals and watch how fast your life changes with just a little bit of hard work. I promise that you will be nothing short of amazed.

4) Writing Meditation (1 hr)

Write about anything you want to. Negative, positive, doesn't matter. The point of this exercise is to expand on your feelings and emotions. If you feel like killing someone, write about how you would do it. Just don't show anyone they might not understand. Maybe burn it after you're done writing about it. The point is don't suppress your feelings and emotions, release them positively and constructively. I promise, when you're done you'll feel much better, you probably won't want to kill them anymore and best of all, it won't affect your next day. Writing is essential to understanding any type of problem. Just put your pen to the pad and let it flow, there is no wrong way to do this.

5) Goals (1-2 hrs)

Figure out what it is that you want and what you have to sacrifice to get it. To be honest, the formula for achieving your goals is very simple, it's just 3 easy steps. 1) A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. 2) A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. 3) a plan backed by action becomes reality. So you see? Turning a dream into reality is as simple as 1,2,3. Now don't get it fucked up, this is not easy, it's simple. There is a difference, some goals might come quicker than others. But if you apply these 3 steps to any or all of them, you will achieve them.

6) Recovery check-out (30 mins)

Give thanks for the day with a silent prayer. 15min breathing meditation and close with the serenity prayer. When you're done after a hard day's work, it's good to reflect on everything that you did and the positive outcome that it may have brought you or others. Remember that the idle mind is the Devil's playground. The less going on up there, the more room for him to dance around. Instead, do things like giving thanks for the abundance that your productivity has afforded you. Remember where it is that you came from and where it is that you would like to end up. We do this so that we can stay focused on the things that we can do instead of what we can't do, and the things that we can change rather then what we can't. Remember that reflection is just as important as productivity. Without it, you fall back into the same old destructive patterns. If we learn to accept what we can't control, then we don't focus on it. So instead it's a good practice to end your day the same way that you start it. Positive, grateful, accepting, and willing.

7) Rest & Relax( Endgame)

When I hit this stage, I like to prepare everything for the next day. So that when I wake up, I can enjoy the first hour of my day. But really though...Do whatever the fuck you want! Can't nobody tell you how to do this. Just make sure that you do it, and that you do it your way. I hope this helps anyone who finds themselves in a funk and remember...Struggles make you strong, it has to be dark for stars to shine and clear and straight roads never made good drivers. So enjoy the rest of your days here everyone. Time is so precious, and no one gets an extension. So let's do it right before it's too late.

Thank You & God Bless!
