Loosid Sober Tip of the Day April 9

Sober Tips
#1

Resentment is the #1 offender. It kills more alcoholics and addicts than anything.

We talk about resentment frequently in the daily tips for this very reason. Why? Because repetition is the mother of skill.

In the same way we need to remind ourselves what works, it is equally as powerful to remind ourselves what does not work.

Most of use reading this have a resentment or two in our back pockets. Even if we have done the work to free ourselves of resentments, so many of us hold onto a few as we feel we are not ready to let them go.

Just for today, make a decision to let them go. You are drinking the poison waiting for the other person to suffer. Choose not to suffer today.

How did this tip resonate with you? 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:

How have you learned to shed guilt or resentment? My father said its like a bag of rocks that youre carrying on your back and its weighing you down when youre walking up that hill. Youve got to let go of that bag of rocks so you can keep moving forward

I am trying, but it is difficult. I must be patient with my husband and myself.

Thank you for sharing this!
I too had a resentment towards my father for many years after my parents divorce and I found out that my dad would rather do drugs then be a family.
What I didn’t know is just how powerful drugs are until my Alcoholism took me down that same road my dad went down.

I was very resentful towards everyone and everything. Today I have relieved myself from the torture of holding on to my anger.
If I have a resentment today, I have tools to deal with them, a support group to share with and family members who love me.
