I’ve been sober for over two years now. It’s a substantial amount of time, but also less than 6% of my time alive…so I’m not out of the woods yet. If I am still sober when I reach fifty I will have been sober for just under 70% of my life, or just over half my adult life. For me that’s a very encouraging statistic. From an alcoholic point of view though

How to write a blog.
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they feel like they want their opinions to be heard. When this moment comes to you beware – you could be scooping up dog poo with your hand covered in a blue plastic bag when it hits you. It could be as you are toweling your saggy pallid torso after a short cool shower on a hot Autumnal day that the light clicks on in your twisted brain. It could hit you as you are parking someone else’s car between a Porsche and a Ferarri. When you get this feeling…this “of course people would love to know about my journey into Gnostic mysticism
How to make money in a recession
I know that a lot of you out there are looking for ways to make money. Everyone wants to know how to get rich. Well, The Sober Paddy knows the answer.

How to find Inner Peace.
I’ve been sober for nearly two years now. To the dog on the street that doesn’t mean much. Every day you wake up feeling pretty good and go to sleep feeling pretty good but tired. This existence is like a retirement home for recovering crack heads – Nice and easy in the middle. ..soft pastel colours and nice people saying nice things.

Viva La Revolution
Where do I begin? My absence from blogging has been caused by number of reasons. I have been searching for some information on the interweb. I have been disseminating. I have been scouring the globe for news about the revolution. You see, there are many hands and feet getting involved now. They are all walking together and they are going in the same direction. I am part of this revolution in a very
