Recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, AA inspired shirts and gifts
The Fourth Dimension Is NOW!!!!
Recovery, sobriety, Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
inspired shirts, clothes and gifts!
Looking for shirts that have more depth
and weight and less frothy emotional appeal?
Unique recovery/12
step/Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)/ sobriety inspired clothing either for yourself as a gift for that special sober person!
A couple things to appeal to that inner Dead Head and progressive
as well perhaps...
While I imagine that it is clear to those who are familiar
with Alcoholics Anonymous and recovery that much of the inspiration for some of these shirts comes from AA, I do want to make
it clear that these shirts are not endorsed by Alcoholics Anonymous. They are original designs that I have created drawing
upon inspiration which reflect my feelings and thoughts about my sobriety only.

I have to admit that a big reason that I started this little venture was
that I could no longer find Grateful Dead shirts that I enjoyed. I am a Dead Head and that is something that sobriety
and God has not changed!!! So...I decided that I would try to make some Grateful Dead shirts that I enjoyed.
Shortly thereafter, it struck me to make
clothes for something else that I have a passion for...recovery and Alcoholics Anonymous. Sobriety has been a gift for
me and quickly changed from something that I felt was a punishment to something that was meant to be celebrated. When
looking at most of the other Alcoholics Anonymous and recovery shirts out there, I found them to be not quite up my alley..not
quite capturing my feelings about sobriety and what I have to do to maintain it. I have taken to heart the notion from
Doctor Silkworth that the message that can help alcoholics must have depth and weight and the AA idea that underneath the
levity, there is a deadly earnestness.
So, the FourthDimensionIsNow was born.

Haven't seen much activity on here as of yet...but navigating the world of cyber advertising
is in the future. We will see...
For anyone
interested, I hope to make a big change in my printing process in the near future. Switching from direct to garment
printing to sublimation printing. The positive? Much more accurate printing results (much easier to get things
exactly lined up), somewhat sharper images (at least it seems like that should be the result), improved washability (from
what I gather, sublimation prints will not fade from washing), the ability to branch out into other products (mouse pads,
puzzles, clocks, keychains, a whole wild and crazy range of things) and easier printing for me. The negative?
Sublimation can only be printed onto man made materials...have to switch to polyester.
I am not much of a fashion interested guy and hearing polyester still makes me cringe and think of a horrible
fabric, but apparently that's not the case anymore. Great moisture wicking, surprisingly good feel...nice stuff.
Problem is it seems like it is quite a bit more expensive but we will see how it all works out.
Have been great responses to the shirts I have sold...it makes me very happy to know that people are enjoying
my designs and not just having a shirt to wear but loving the shirts they have to wear. Have to have gratitude for the
opportunity to do that!!!
And I have met some
cool people as a result...people who are on the same page as me. In my experience, people who share a common solution
have a much more powerful bond than people who just share a common problem. Instant friends and fellowship with people
who I immediately feel love for. That is a great thing and, if I am thinking right, that plus the enjoyment I am bringing
people makes this whole venture worthwhile.
Anyways,
hope everyone out there remembers to insist upon enjoying life!!!
My purpose here is to make designs that I appreciate and hopefully someone out there will too.
Things that allow me to celebrate some of the gifts that I have been given and enjoy life...
The creating of the designs and this business is an offspring of my quest to absolutely insist
upon enjoying life. Spending too long in the shadows of misery compels me to enjoy the sunlight of the Spirit in all
my affairs...
