Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 15

Home is not where you live but where they understand you.

So many of us are confused or even frustrated why our friends or loved ones don’t understand why we cannot stop on our self-will alone.

Even more of us buy into what our friends or loved ones tell us about our addiction.

They may say we don’t have enough willpower. They may tell us to just say no.

They may also try to explain to us if they can moderate their drinking, we should be able to do the same. This is 100% incorrect.

Don’t be upset with them. Not even for a minute. Remember, those amongst us no explanation is necessary. Those not amongst us, no explanation is possible.

This is why it is of critical importance to surround yourself with other people who share your common bond. It matters not where we come from.

We may come from a beautiful loving home, or we way come from a place where home was absolute chaos.

Each day, remember that home is not where you live but where they understand you.

Find your home today. Connect with others who understand. Though our experiences may be different, the feelings of isolation are the same.

This is so true I tried to stop on you’ll my own and I wound up having a nervous break it was bad I had never felt so bad I told my sons and yet I’ll how I felt before it happened Lyand they were helping me as much as they could but it was inevitable I was overwhelmed and I just tried the best I couldand couldn’t find myself My

So true. Thanks for this one! Home is definitely wherever I am understood. Yesterday, it was my local Peer Recovery Center. Today, it will be at an AA Big Book Step Study meeting. Keep up the hard work, everyone!

I can only love those in my life until they love themselves. Nobody could talk to me and make a dent.

I found a home in AA where I am with people who understand me because they are me. I'm grateful to have people in my family who care about me but they're not able to provide recovery support which is critical for my survival
