Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 29

Building your sober network.

In recovery, it is very important to surround ourselves with people who share our common bond.

It is also important that we make sure those people we choose to connect with are constantly striving to put more in their spiritual toolkits.

In the same way we get better in sports when we play with people who have more experience and skills, sobriety works the same way.

Look for people who have what you want and connect with them.

If you are brand new to recovery, make a commitment today to get a group of at least 5 people you can reach out to on a regular basis via phone.

There are over 23 million people in recovery in the United States.

There are thousands of 12-Step meetings at any given time that you can attend virtually… there is the entire Loosid community… there is no shortage of people to find.

They are all around you… if you look for them.

We only stay sober if we give away what was freely given to us. Because of this, you will find how responsive others will be when you reach out to build your sober network.

You will be helping them… and they will be helping you.

That is what recovery is all about.

How did this tip resonate with you? Do you have a sober network? How have they helped you?

If you have been sober for a while and you look to help others, how has helping others helped strengthen your sobriety?

Let us know your thoughts below. There are many people in the Loosid community who need to hear what you have to say.

With Love, Loosid :pray::heart:

It’s very true. I’m back to day 1 today. My body isn’t liking the drinking me. I’m getting up in age and need to get healthy. I need all of the support I can get. Community will be huge. Thank you.

I have finally felt like I’m starting to find a sober network of women that I look to as an examples of what I’d like my sobriety journey to reflect. I have had moments of helping alcoholics who are struggling and the amazing sense of peace and serenity I’ve felt afterward was like nothing I’d experienced before. I have recently started to read through a book with a fellow sober sister and that has brought such a sense of connection, understanding and peace as well.

Giving and getting rides is a great way to get to know people in common. Also helps get you to meeting if that’s what you’re getting help from. I love my sober friends. They all are always willing to lend and hand, listen and just help. I learn so much when people share. Do much clicks for me and it truly helps me stay sober.
