Surviving crisis - life, death and alcoholism - NC-17 content.

This was filmed Dec 22, 2007 during one of the peaks of Pluto’s transit to my Moon. To update, sadly this friendship did not survive. I’d known the gal and her family for 9 years…

This is from January of 2008, part of my Saturn Pluto crush! I updated to say that as far as I knew these people still believed me to be an alcoholic in denial. Fact is, I can smell a glass of wine and get tipsy. Such is the sensitivities of Neptune. Fresh update below the break.

If you ever want to discredit someone…

Someone knows the answer to this and I hope they will offer it even if they want to do so anonymously or even via private email because I really want to know this.

Regarding Alcoholics… don’t underestimate the trickery, yesterday I sneaked an alcoholic a drink. You might say I colluded with him, I helped a fellow human being due compassion, I acted foolishly or any number of other ways my actions could be seen but what I want to know is how does the alcoholic in the story see it? What does he think of what I did?

I have a client who is currently recovering from a relationship where she was deceived. Pulling this up for her benefit. Venus Neptune On The Prowl… Look Out! (from 2007)

Last night the soldier and I were talking about a theory I’m developing where basically I wonder if the rules that apply to the percentage of alcoholics who get sober apply to other (or even all) problems and pathologies and anything else you might imagine.

Rather than call me crazy, he said I might be on to something and he mentioned the natural logarithm or the 80/20 rule. I might go into this if I can find verification of a key piece of information. I need to know how many alcoholics get and stay sober for life from a verifiable or reliable source, I am pretty sure the number is abysmally low.

Everybody knows how I feel about gossip and in particular, kicking people when they are down:

satori sent me clip. Craig Ferguson Speaks From The Heart about his alcoholism and his rethinking mocking and making jokes about people in crisis.

I think this trend was a result of Pluto (and Jupiter) in Sagittarius and I hope with all my heart it’s seen it’s heyday.

I made a video awhile back about how to discredit someone. All you have to do is say they are a drunk and that’s it! Walk into the room and everyone looks you up and down and thinks, “Here comes the alcoholic”. Doesn’t have to be true and I’d know because this is exactly what happened to me. This was “first handshake” before I even shook a hand when I first starting meeting with the task force.

Further I did not know this had happened for at least 2 or 3 weeks which meant people were talking to my hologram (Elsa the presumed alcoholic) and boy did I flip out when I found out. Considering I’m not a drinker, I was STUNNNNNED.

Dear Libra,

This sounds like a clear case of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) to me. This man has a full life. His life is full of people, a job, an addiction and mental illness and it seems to me he is living it.

You on the other hand are trying to make decisions about your life based on this other person’s comings and goings and progress and/or lack of progress and it is not hard to see this is going to lead you to nothing and nowhere.

Rather than focusing on what he is doing, it would be far more productive to focus on what you are doing - which as a double Libra may be a challenge so I will try to help.

You are doing what comes natural to Libra: you are trying to partner, though you are going about it all wrong. You are trying to decide (Libra) if you might be able to take this other person and see if you can’t fashion them (read control them) into something that will be suitable as a partner, which is never going to work.

This is particularly true of a psychotic, depressed, ADHD, disappearing, alcoholic Scorpio who has a bunch of women hanging around so yeah. If you want a partner which I think you do, I would look elsewhere.

Good luck.

My natal Mars Mercury in the blunt 9th house sprung to life to defend (Saturn) against my fake alcoholism (Neptune).

First a boast:

“Drinking problem, huh? Well how about you ask anyone in the world if I am drunk, other than the person who made this claim and see what you find out? That ought to be amusing,” I said.

And then another boast:

“Well I’ll tell you something. For someone who drinks all the time I sure do show up sober all the time, have you noticed? I have been to all these meetings with you people and I’ve yet to slur a word. Why do you think that is? What might explain my sobriety? Can we think of anything? Jeez, man. I think you’ve been bamboozled, what do you think?” I challenged.

Problem is there are a good number of people (more civilized than me) who would imagine  a person would only talk to authority figures who hold your fate in their hands in such a manner after they’d had a couple drinks.

::smiles::

I stopped short of asking them if they would like to smell my breath although it did cross my mind.
