Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 01

Why me vs. Why Me

Many times, people ask to themselves, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ … ‘Why did I have to be an alcoholic (or addict)’ …‘Why can’t I drink?’… Why can I not control my drinking when so many people can?’

It is incredibly important to remember, there are two ways you can approach ‘why me’

There is another side of why me.

‘Why am I so lucky to have the ability to get better when so many others don’t?’

‘Why am I so lucky that I have a disease that is 100% treatable so long as I work a program on a daily basis?’

‘Why was I able to get the gifts of the program while so many other people are sick and suffering.’

‘Why am I so lucky to change my life and live in service to others… and to the same people I used to hurt?’

Choose to pick the right ‘why me’ today. If you are reading this it means you have started your journey to build a beautiful life

Why me” I’m sure is a question thought by so many people especially in recovery I believe that you reach a point when you tell yourself it’s time to let go time to heal your ok shedding so much weight is just the beginning understanding that it’s ok to reach out for help let go of everything that caused you suffering so many people don’t get that chance I ask god to show me guidance every day is a new day be grateful this program has changed my life I have a lot to learn through this fellowship there are days when I don’t understand something I’ve learned it’s ok to ask

Why not me? I've been given the gift of sobriety and am part of a community that I wouldn't trade for anything. Love you guys!
