Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 14

What is the quality of your sobriety?

In recovery, many people get fixated on the amount of sober time they have and compare it to others. As mentioned in a previous sober tip, the world record for sobriety is 24 hours and nobody has broken it yet!

Much like it’s never about the amount of years in one’s life, but rather the amount of life in one’s years, the same applies to sobriety.

Putting down the drink or the drug only allows us to enter a spiritual journey that we call recovery. Working a spiritual program allows us to be free from all the things that used to hold us back.

We often find people in recovery with only months of ‘sobriety time’ who are happy, joyous and free. Most often, this is because they actively work a spiritual program and, as a result, have what many people call ‘emotional sobriety’.

On the other side, there are many who have decades of ‘sober time’ who are miserable and still stuck in the bondage of self.

Freeing ourselves requires work, but the great news we all have the ability to achieve that freedom.

Find solace in the fact that you can be free any time you want. Choose freedom today. You deserve it.

I choose freedom.

Spirituality and emotional sobriety is one of priorities. I am currently working on this.

I choose freedom, three months sober today.

This is great. The whole reason I am here is to develop a network of friends with who me to journey on to living a full rewarding life, and I choose to pursue sobriety as an important beginning step.

Thanks!

I’ve been sober for 6 months and I still struggle from day to day. Some days are wonderful and some are just straight hard but if I give my will up to God. The God of my understanding. And work with others and stay sober no matter what. Life is not so bad. Of course I choose freedom. And I also think that a lot of this is in our thinking so we need to reprogram or rewire or minds to think positive thoughts and be grateful. I’m praying for us all.

I choose love for myself

I agree wholeheartedly with this message. I think that for many of us we got drunk or high because we either did not like who we were or we were not happy with some aspect of life. Happiness and sobriety, to me at least is easier to obtain then happiness drinking or drugging. Loving one's self however is absolutely crucial. Oftentimes that takes years to truly master, if not decades.
