Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 23

Sober Tips
#1

Emptying our cup.

One of the most important parts of recovery is to empty our old thoughts before we start on our journey.

We cannot start clean and see a clear path if we have beliefs on what we are supposed to do, for it is what we were doing that got us into trouble in the first place.

If we want a clean and clear glass of water, we cannot come in with a dirty cup of water. If we empty most of our cup but still leave a little dirty war inside, we will still have dirty water.

Make sure you surround yourself with people who have clean cups of water.

How do you know they have clean water? Connect with people who speak with grace and dignity. Look for those who match calamity with serenity. It is never about how much sober time they have, for all of us only have 24 hours.

Connect with those who have what you want… ON THE INSIDE.

Just for today, choose to empty your cup completely to let fresh clean water to take its place.

No one is perfect. This takes time. We used for years. This won’t happen over night!

I’m 28 months into this journey and I’m still emptying my cup of water. It’s the enlightenment that I encounter each day that allows me to remove the old and embrace the new.

Good reminder! Even with a good chunk of time under my belt, my cup gets a little dirty sometimes. Today I will empty my cup. And distance myself from calamity! Haha love it!

I get the gist of it but sayings and affirmations aren’t enough. Where are all these people we’re supposed to surround ourselves with? Where is this clean water?
