Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 16

My ego is not my amigo.

Throughout our sober journey, we come to learn the destructive nature of our ego.

In 12-Step groups we quite often hear about a program of ego deflation.

Though it can seem weird at first to hear the deflation of ego as a symbol of strength, we have found this to be one of the most important things we learn in our sober journey.

The less ego we have, the more room for humility, and the more humility we have, the greater we aspire to listen, to learn and to grow.

Remember, itā€™s easy to operate from ego. Humility takes daily practiceā€¦ but itā€™s worth it!!!

I have an alarm set on my phone to how off at different times with the ā€˜deflate your egoā€™ label. Itā€™s helps to keep it in front of me throughout the day. Love these tipsšŸ¤

ā€œMy ego is not my amigoā€ I affirm that 1000%

There is no 'more or less ego' , instead it is have we cultivated a healthy or an unhealthy ego. Our ego CAN be our amigo. This daily tip is a little confusing but I understand what it is saying. However ego is really important to help out willpower and drive when things go wrong. But it takes hard work to keep things running well. Love yourself don't beat yourself up! Build up a strong healthy ego and you will be a shining example for others to follow!!

I love what you saying itā€™s so true I always tell people who judge if you want self freedom stop judging !!!

Ur E G O Has to be Smashed. Love an tolerance is key an Humility
