Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 21

Sober Tips

Expectations are future resentments in disguise.

We often spend our lives upset about people who have wronged us.

As we go through our recovery journey, you may realize that your moral compass is different than others.

Do not have expectations.

If someone does not act in a way that is in line with the principles you live your life, know that has nothing to do with you.

Pray for them as they are sick and suffering and need help.

No matter what, do not let this affect your serenity. At the end of the day, it is their garbage to pick up not yours.

Help them the best you can and if they are not willing to receive your help, move on and help someone who has the willingness to change.

This is very powerful! The hard part is letting that person go or cutting ties with someone who doesn’t want to help themselves. I have been known to try and help someone change and years and years later it was only a waste of my time and jeopardized my sobriety!

The most important part of this post to me is not everyone has the same moral compass that you do. I'm living in a recovery home with people that just amaze me with their behaviors and lack of manners. It has basically just upset me for two years to the point I have to talk to my therapist about it. But when I see it from this point of view the best thing to do is just let them be and live in their own world.

I have to keep reminding myself daily that it takes all kinds to keep the world turning. I have to stop giving my energy away. I have to keep working on my control issue and surrendering to my HP throughout the day.
