How you all going? Dave here! I’m a simple guy looking for a simple way of living. Whilst I like pondering on the complexities of our universe, I don’t like complicating life any more than it already it. I’m not an academic and far from an intellect. I often use more words than others can bear. I am sensitive to the things that go on around me, and whilst this often confuses me, I find it also very beneficial.
I am an X druggie, alcoholic, violent offender. I was abused as a child and lived as a homeless kid for many years. I came across Brian Sync. It’s a bio-feedback type of guided serries in meditation that really helped me get my life together. I quit smoking, and then later quit drinking and so on. Little by little & step by step I have slowly turned my life around. Self Help books have helped, but as a whole it’s mostly been about empowering myself and looking deep within to make the right connections.
My Christian upbringing was very traumatic and full of much rejection & abuse. It’s actually too painful to explain. I just mention it because it’s part of me.
Anyways...in general I am a straight up guy that does not have much time for shallow bantering or sword play. It is what it is. I see things differently to others whom perhaps have not had my privileges...LOL...just as I have not had theirs...life goes on:
I’m NOT seeking a new religion (as such...then maybe..LOL)...I don’t Blame God for my abuses...I may be confused as to who God really is, but I do have faith in a higher power & I think that is good enough. I have not given up. For all the fancy words some people use or hid behind, I much prefer sensing a person’s attitude or persona. It wares me down at times, when I am surrounded by debate in shallow waters...but I think you get the drift. If you’re more the straight up simple living type...then were going to get along well.
My efforts to self betterment are an ongoing battle...It’s not until I got serious about my eating habits that I eventually have made any real progress. To this end I don’t eat any packaged food. I check the labels on everything and when doing so look more towards avoiding additives of all kinds over the calorie issue, although I am mindful of that as well. I grow my own food, have my own chickens...I was raised in the country and have worked the land...but now find myself surrounded my too many people in a fast paced world in which I’d prefer not to be. I don’t believe our lives where meant to be easy, so do my best to accept things the way they are, and make the efforts to do what I can. I do what I can for others, but need to focus more on this...I’m just at a point that requires more time on me for now. I hear the word Ignorance a lot in forums like these...in fact I see many words being used as weapons...let me just say...I'm not too much into this sort of thing...I'll be doing my best to avoid all that kind of banter & look forward to meeting others who do like wise.
I ware me heart on my sleeve and have a thick skin, I might last in here yet 
Edit...actually...here is a vid I did recently for my buddy's at another forum based on Theropy. I have been using Utube to build on my confidance and its also helping me...perhaps this will help others understand me a little better and cut to the chase somewhat:

I'm a work in progress.....lol...aren't we all!
Here are the results of my healthy eating habits over the last 5 months...as well as this is ME:
Peace Out
